Game 56: Phoenix Suns (33-22) vs. Dallas Mavericks (32-23)

[dirkfansince1998]

Blocks are cool, but most of the time the attempt becomes a foul, not a cool block. I just don’t like centers who leave their feet often. It’s almost always a bad play.

I have enjoyed this last several minute stretch with Kleber anchoring the defense much more than I did the stretches of Gafford tonight.

Off topic. But blocks are by far the least valuable boxscore stat. Can even be argued that in many cases the trade off (more fouls, less rebounding) isn't worth it. A few analysis. Quick summary. The block isn't the important play. What happens after the block matters.
