Rick is making decisions like garbage again tonight. Collison has 3 ast and shot 3-10...but was allowed to play 32 minutes. Crowder is 2-3 and one of what most experts consider, at this point, the 5 best rookies in the game...and he gonna finish with less than 11 minutes played, including like 7 in garbage time. IN A 20 POINT BLOW OUT.

I hate Rick's coaching when it comes to young players. He will never be an elite coach because of his refusal to think young players can contribute. Wright also only was allowed to play for 11:08. Seriously, **** Rick. He's costing this team wins. Terrible coaching.

On the brighter side, I keep forgetting to link this, because the two times they've played it at the game, I was...at the game. And the later the game gets, the worse my stupid T-Mobile 4G connection gets. After half time, it's basically pointless to even try to use the internet in the AAC for me.

But if you haven't seen it, it's hilarious:

By the end of tomorrow, the Mavs, Jazz, Phoenix and Miami will all have played their league leading 11th game of the season. At the same time, two teams will finish tomorrow with 7 games (BKN and NYK). Admittedly, they both are missing a game because of Sandy. But a number of teams are at only 8 games played by tomorrow's end.

We'll have played a game once every 1.73 days since October 30th (though really, it's more, since the first Mavs game was on the night of the 30th on the west coast). In comparison, any team with only 8 games played has played once every 2.38 days.

It's not some conspiracy or anything, but it's bad luck. We're shorthanded to begin with. The extra over half a day off per game would make a huge difference in rest and make us play less games without our star. So we would have more games with Dirk.

that was a horrid game.
