I should have specified, when he went away from the Austin and Tate experiment at the same time. I have no problem with Tate being in there, but Austin shouldn't see the floor at all, let alone with Tate. On a side note, I'm very impressed with how hard Hill is playing. Nunn's play the last couple of games has me a bit worried

I'm not sure what Kendrick's deal is tonight, but I liked the effort from Hill, JCL, and Mav in the last 10 minutes of the first half. Refreshing to play a team that's even worse inside than us.

Nunn was terrible in the first half, but thankfully the rest of the guys came to play. Malcolm especially is putting the team on his back. If Nunn could get it together like the other guys, we could really get on a roll in the second half.

But that was the first dunk by Mav that got a rise out of me...! prior to each game, Someone needs to hit him with a shot of tequila to get him going. :eek:

Don't worry about Nunn. If he hits some of those shots, it looks completely different. And those shots aren't out of the ordinary they just didn't fall. When you miss shots it can get to you.

More concerned about the total lack of control and lack of hustle getting back. He's got 20 minutes to erase that bad first half though.

Could MM actually be our starting center next year?

Mav would be a completely solid back-up center, even on a good team. He can provide you nice efficient offense off the bench and decent defense in spurts. I think his game would be much more valuable as a guy that can contribute 15-20 minutes a game off the bench though. I could see him getting better if continues to add some more explosion.

Mav looking much better on his shot when he's not fading away.
