I don't understand why Marquis Daniels wouldn't be starting, the preseason is all about giving the young guys a go. Instead of risking Stackhouse, why not put in the youngin to give him a go?
Yea I agree, we should definately be trying to save the veterans from being injured. Even though Daniels didnt start, he did play a lot of minutes.
Keith Van Horn is injured again. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Mavericks forward Keith Van Horn left Tuesday's preseason opener against the Kings with a sprained right thumb, according to the Associated Press. He played 14 minutes off the bench before getting hurt in the second half.</div> Source
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Windmill360?:</div><div class="quote_post">Why wasn't Terry playing yesterday?</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Avery Johnson elected to give the probable starting backcourt of Jason Terry and Doug Christie the night off against the Kings.

Nothing serious here. Avery gave the rookies and some of his bench players a chance to show what they've got and that's it. More like practice. Funny how Cassell and Mobley made a big deal out of their win though.. heh. I guess that's their standards are that low
