    They are 5-7 from the FT line. What am I missing?

    Elleby had the smarts to look back for trailing teammates when he got near the hoop. I'm not sure our veteran guards would have done that in that situation. Looks like this CJ just needed more experience.

    we miss energy from little & roco and obviously littles game in the paint

    dallas is also on a b2b, so no excuse there, it would help if their 3-point percentage would go down, currently theyre shooting 9/18

    we are in trouble when nurk goes to the bench, they score at the rim at will

    its doable, but big effort in the second half is needed

    Nice quarter by us. I was wondering about Simons when Powell and CJ come back will he get his attempts up like when he was when they was down. Right now 5 attempts for 7 points and 3 assist.

    Three guard lineups where all three are average at best defensively wasn’t a good idea. Crazy.

    cj elleby might have a future in the league

    even if he doesnt become rotation guy, collecting checks is still good

    Only 1 more FGA than Watford and Elleby. His opportunities/rhythm have definitely declined since CJ and then Norm came back. That is why I have some concern about how he would play with Dame even if CJ and/or Norm were gone.

    Would be nice to see Watford and Elleby to start the second half with Nurkic and two the of small guards. Even 68 points for the Mavs might not budge Billups. Maybe he's just as stubborn as McMillan or Stotts in the end.

    Tony Snell shouldn’t play unless everyone fouls out and even then we might be better off playing 5 on 4.

    Tony Snell is supposed to be a 3-and-D guy. He is neither of those right now.
