Not too much talk about the Mavericks yet. Still talk about the Rangers and the Cowboys. Soon, and very soon all the buzz will be around Tyson Chandler who finished the night with 11pts and 8 rebounds. Jet led the team in scoring with 25 points on the night, Shawn Marion, 20 pts, Nowitzki had 12 (maybe he was tired) ,and DeShawn Stevenson added his 11points on the night. If Terry continues his excellent play off the bench, he should be given the 6th man award.
The Mavericks are 5-2 at home and 3-0 on the road. Seems the depth of scoring on the bench is slowly showing potential. Coach Carlise have to be creative in distributing and rotating the starting line up. With game winning consistency, coach must stick with the formula that's currently working. Tyson Chandler is the best spark (and Brendon Haywood) the Mavericks have had at the center position. History past, the Mavs centers suck! Hopefully, that era is over.
Coach Carlise likes Chandler's passion for the game. "This guy is becoming one of our heart and soul guys. He really brings a spirit, a toughness and an energy and you know, he was huge tonight, but he has been really important for us all season". Coach Carlise expresses.
After the game for post game interview Mavericks center Tyson Chandler had this to say about the win. " It's huge because we're a team trying to get to that caliber and that's where we want to be. We want to have that kind of mind frame so coming in beating a tough minded like this and withstanding their run in the fourth quarter was huge for us. I'd much rather have a game like this where you grind it out because it builds character instead of a 15 to 20 point blowout."
Wells said, Tyson, however, we want the 15 to 20 point blowout and character..how 'bout that?!
