    After watching the Mavericks pull out a tough win on the road against the Heat, I think two things were quite clear.

    1. Rick Carlisle has created great offensive sets reminding me of Doc River's offense in Boston

    2. Mavericks are playing the best D than I have seen from a Nowitzki team.

    If this is because of Chandler, I think he deserves to be mentioned in DPOY and should gain some recognition because tonight he played amazing in the paint by drawing charges and forcing bad shots from Wade and Bron. This Mavericks team is reminding me a lot like Boston in 08-09 and have really increased their defensive intensity, which according to Nowitzki is bc of Chandler

    Thoughts on Chandler and his chances to win MIP or DPOY??

    And to think, we had him by our bosom and the Bobcats screwed us.

    I really wanted this guy when he mentiod with us beacuse this year is his CONTRACT SEASON.

    That's why he is playing that good this season. Did you guys realize he still didn't get injured this season? Man, money changes guy a lot.

    Still he was a great fit for Rockets, shame on Morey.

    He has been the reason for the Dallas' great D this year. This guy would have solved our problem at the center position.

    Would have loved to get Chandler. Still can't believe the Hornets sort of gave him away.

    Also underrated is his energy and enthusiasm with this team. He has been absolutely positive for them and the other players are gaining from playing with someone like Chandler who is always geed up for every game, unlike a certain Ericka Dampier and before that Shawn Bradley.
