It COULD be, but to me it seems more likely that he knows he needs to find a way to help the team in the new confines of the team dynamic and is just pressing a bit to make noticeable impact in a slightly lesser role.
It's quite understandable and human, imo, and doesn't need to reflect a character flaw (although it could).
I think the "we need him" statements are simply explained by the obvious fact that he's strong first 2/3 of this season contributed greatly to the idea that the Mavs were in the race. They actually DO need Hardaway playing well to have a strong end to this season. He IS their bench scoring. Tough to get more obvious than that.
Well...whatever it is, its reflecting a bball flaw.
Numbers guys are the only ones defending the guy. Nothing against you Killer, nothing against looking at numbers...but there seems to be a large swell that are over this guy and hate his brand of bball.
Mavs should move off this one, asap.
