I really don't think that loss was all that crushing for Dallas. Players that normally score a lot didn't score for Dallas, and players who normally don't score a lot did for Miami. I think Barea should get more playing time than Kidd. I don't know how teams haven't started realizing that Kidd is always looking to pass first. Barea adds speed and scoring ability, and the leadership that Kidd brings to the table can be just as valuable coming off the bench.

Let's see if Dallas can figure out Miami's defense, because it shut them down completely. Really, the Heat are so absurdly powerful on both sides of the ball, they are looking great right now. Dallas needs more production from their bench, or they are going to have some problems.

Yeah, Lebron stuck on Terry is bad news for Dallas. They're going to have to work very hard to get him some open looks. Miami's bench is definitely not going to keep outscoring Dallas' though, and Miami is definitely not going to hit 11 3's every game. I think the biggest concern right now is Dirk's injury and getting Jason Terry more open shots.

We'll see. Dirk's minor injury could either help him or hurt him. I'm not sure how tentative he's going to be when reaching in for the ball and playing defense, so that could be a downside for Dallas tonight. The Mavs bench needs to step up and score.
