The Mavericks hosted and lost to the Denver Nuggets at the American Airlines Center Saturday night, coming off a win in Denver. Mavericks guard, Jason Terry scored 23 points in the first half. Ahh, but holdup a minute, Nugget's Carmelo Anthony hands were hotter!
The Mavericks had a nice lead going into the halftime. No worries, I thought, this team is still in the evaluation stage. The centers spot is a concern. While, both Haywood and Chandler are aggressive, they are what I call 'passive-aggressive'......no fire! Tip of the day: Having no fire will get you traded. Overall, they both played decent with decent minutes.
Jason Terry was feeling it early in the first half scoring 23 points! H e spotted up on 3-pointers, made defensive stops, just blisttered Denver, making 9 of 10 of his points. My question is: why can't he perform at this level with consistently? Nowitzki scores double figures every game...I mean he is a natural shooter. When I get an opportunity to talk with J.T. ( I call him J.T.), I'll let you the fans know his answer...stay tuned.
Nuggets head coach George Karl talked about controlling Jason Terry in the 2nd half. "We were just trying to give him more heat. When he was in pick and rolls, we tried to put two on him, and he's so quick it's hard to do that". But somehow, someway, he had some open looks and he just missed. Maybe he got tired a little bit. But, that beginning of the 2nd half was 'wow'. I don't think our defense was that bad and they weren't hitting anything except the bottom of the net-not the rim or anything"!
