Bright spots: Earl looked good once again. What a solid back up point guard we have. Even though his shot was off he had 5 dimes, and 4 boards.
I'll take it. He found a way to contribute.
Fes - 2 nice offensive moves, and SEVEN, yes SEVEN rebounds. That's 5 more than Boozer had tonight ;-)
His problem is like Miles though. Can he become more consistent. It's obvious there is talent there.
Big AL + Sap - for the most part they did their part. 39 pts, 4 blocks, 15 boards should be good enough most nights.
The Bad:
Bell. Wow. Not a zone buster. 28 mins = 2 pts? from our starting 2 guard? ouch dude. Go Jazz's 7 year old can make more shots than you.
Zone busting. Speaking of the zone, we sucked against it tonight. No one could hit a jumper. Deron and Bell were off. No Korver, nothing.
Deron Williams - quite simply an off night from the all-star. He's allowed these games once in awhile. It's too bad it happened last night though.
We could have used some scoring from Willy.
Cj Miles - not really bad, just meh. Hit a couple 3s then airballed some. Just all over the place, and not giving us anything consistent.
Dissappointing loss, but one I can live with. The Mavs played well in the 2nd half, and the refs gave them most of the calls.
Got to learn from this, and move on.
