Game 57: Dallas Mavericks (33-23) vs. Indiana Pacers (32-25)

This was a weird one. Played really supid for the whole game but somehow stayed in it, come back within 4 early in the fourth just to get totally steamrolled after. If felt like Kidd got outcoached big time. I am no expert, but letting Timmy play for so long was an obvious headscratcher. Not only was he missing shots, he was missing rotations, turning the ball over several times... just horrible. If his shot is not dropping, you can not play him. I hope his minutes get cut once Exum comes back. DJJ looks like a non factor when he's not playing heavy minutes.

Worst of all was the center rotation: I can not understand how you play lively only 14 minutes. I think that is what cost us the game in the end, and Timmy's play, of course.
