How come he isn't getting as many minutes? Is he injured or somethin? He was a great player for you guys.
Right now he's a situational player for the Mavs. The Mavs are trying to neutralize the Suns speed by going with a backcourt of Terry and Harris in this series. Those two are playing great basketball, so Daniels is the odd man out. If the Mavs advance, I think you'll see more of Daniels in the Miami series.
I think the Mavs should be playing Daniels instead of Van Horn at the four. Van Horn has mostly been matched up against Boris Diaw, and he's been terrible defensively. Daniels can't do much worse of a job, and he's more versatile on offense as well.
Daniels often seems aloof on the court, or it's just his eyelids that make him look like Sleepy Floyd. He sometimes makes bad decisons, and often times needs the ball in his hands to make something happen. It probably is a matchup thing like stated above for the series.
