Mavs 113, Nets 109

Agree that the most dramatic display of the coaching chess match was in the fourth. We may be in agreement on this point, not sure


Absolutely agree. Carlisle's adjustments in the 4th is what won the game (on top of some stellar play by our boys in blu..errr gold?).  It was the 3rd quarter that had me fuming, mostly because of the uninspired play from JRich. I think Dan has a point that there must be some agent influence because JRich was doing everything he could to sit on the bench but Carlisle let him play through.

I thought he had a good first quarter, and Rick took him out when it was evident that he had stopped contributing much. 


Useless is a strong word but I'm running out of niceties to describe JRich and his play since March. It's less about the boxscore numbers and more about the ridiculous mistakes he's apart of. Reminds me of Wes Matthews at times.  He did have a solid first quarter, but was largely non-existent the rest of the game. 

I know it's unrealistic to expect RC to bench Richardson the entire game and ride the rookie, but it's frustrating watching him play.

Glad we're in agreement here. I hope the Mavs see it the same way and make the right moves this summer. Perhaps RC has been hiding his super secret plays where KP magically becomes a lob machine.
