From the start of training camp the championship has been the goal. "The Time is Now" is the Mavs slogan for the championship quest. The time is here, tonight! To grabbed the opportunity to tie this seriesw 2-2.
Oh my GOD, the Mavericks are in a must win situation tonight. Heat up 2-1 on the Mavs home court. Not a good sign. Arrive to practice late, missed the opportunity to ask coach Carlise a couple of questions regarding offensive rebounding and turnovers.

Early in the season, in previous interviews and press conference, coach Carlise discusses stresses the need for second chance points. How the stratefy is not not allow the Heat any offensive points, what about home team. In game 3, Mavs only grabbed 12 offensive rebounds for second chance points.
Remember when Tyson Chandler in the Portland game how he grabbed 17 offensive boards? He hasn't grabbed anything remotely close in the Oklahoma series or in this series. What the Mavs need to do tonight is adjust their strategy a bit. First the focus needs to be on grabbing offensive rebounds gaining an adavantage on second chance points and 2, shake up the rotation, put in corey Brewer, he's got the energy, he can defend and score. Besides give the guy a break let him get in the game so his family can see him play.

Game 4 is a must win for the Mavs.. WIN OR GO HOME!
