I hate Harris body language. The fact that he takes more 3's than anyone else is also very worrisome. We need a wing or a PG. This is starting to look like last season

except burks, kanter, favors and millsap, everyone should be on the trade list. you might exclude hayward, but kid needs to attack the rim more and gain some confidence. he has no agressiveness and motor. his jumper is horrible and teams won't take him serious if he continues to miss every single shot.
bell and hayward are not starting caliber players in this league. harris would come off the bench on many teams as well. we are so terrible on the one, two and three position, it's just scares me if we will continue with these players for the rest of the season. we have to make things happen via trade, otherwise we won't make the playoffs.

He only takes open 3 pointers. It's not his fault Hayward turns all his down.
The players that Dallas has recruited at this stage are all former All Stars or near All Stars. They're savvy veterans who are prototypical athletes for their positions---Kidd, Carter, Odom, Marion, Terry, Haywood. Their problem is whether they can stay healthy, but if they are healthy and keeping their minutes down, they're a tough team to play.

I'd think Terry would prefer an uncontested layup to a hard foul, but maybe that's just me.
I also have to say that Hayward had a better game offensively, which was nice to see, but what was very encouraging was his defense on Marion. He played with grit on the defensive end. There was one play in particular where he didn't let Marion back him down and then blocked Marion's shot. He was better this game at not letting Marion get post position.

kid has a solid shooting touch and form and already made some jumpers from the 5 to 15 feet area that looked good. he hits the gym, he looks like a gym rat if you look at his body. i do think that he might already be one of the strongest players in the league. kid is built like a tank and has only 5 percent body fat. so he must be a gym rat.
his great footwork makes it up for his lack of lift, he will improve. he showed some nice flashes of potential today.
If Favors is 15/10 with 2 blocks, that isn't bad. The question is whether he wants to be a dominant force in the league. He seems a bit low key.
Okay, but if Kanter wanted to train like Karl Malone, he could improve his quickness and explosiveness and brutalize the league. He's only 19. He could develop his body over the next three years into a real force, but he's got to want it.
