    thanks a lot !!

    Please, make one of the missed calls and send it to the NBA. They're going to laugh at it and throw it away anyway but still.

    that defensive play by marion is a perfect example of players we dont need versus those we do. And i know that sounds like a cheap shot at tmac, but it's about whoever we get in a trade of via free agency. Marion lost battier around the baseline, that's horrible when it's such a crucial defensive posession, but it happens...however it's unexcusable and pathetic on his part to just stand there when he finally does see him running to the corner.

    Nice observation.

    I'm not sure if they were playing a zone defense or what but there was some kind of defensive fail, whether it was Marion or a late switch.

    not sure either, i thought it was man to man, but i guess it could have been zone too...either way someone needs to recognize that dirk can't switch off because that leaves landry with an open lane to the rim and he finishes or gets fouled like 80% of the time in those situations. Marion didnt even seem to point or yell for someone to pick up shane, even tmac would have done that. Now THAT was a shot at him. :grin:

    Actually, it looked like the Mavericks were supposed to play zone, but Dirk wasn't in a good position (already fighting Landry for position) to switch to Battier (and then Marion to Landry) so Dirk chose to stick with Landry.

    Terry could also have rotated over, but he chose not to.

    Therefore, this is not a defensive breakdown by the Mavericks, but rather a very clever play drawn up by Rick Adelman.

    Either way, it does end up being Marion's fault.

    If this were indeed a zone defense, Marion should have alerted Dirk to switch to Battier.
