It is now time to begin meaningful discussion about basketball with most teams around 30 games played.
Look who is 20-8. The Dallas Mavericks. Many have already said so what, they are soft. These people haven't been watching. This is not the 3 pointer happy, passive jump shooting team of the past. These guys are taking it to the rack. When Dirk had the 29 point 4th quarter he had only one 3 point shot and 14 from free throws. That's aggressive play.
People paying attention will tell you about the depth of this team. Josh Howard has missed over half the season and is back now. Erick Dampier missed the first 10 games or so. Shawn Marion missed a few games and played injured in many others. Last night they beat a healthy Cleveland team without Dirk.
All that and they are playing great defense. This team is dangerous and, for now, under the radar. Later this week I'll take a look at the new additions to the team.
