But, I HATE teams that PLAY slow, too, since you bring it up. From what I gather, May's Michigan team did not, so that's good.
What does that even mean? Mavs often played washed veterans around Dirk thinking they were better than rookies, but ultimately the rookies proved to be better already (Justin Anderson/Dwight Powell/Jae Crowder) and it was not because of some amazing skills, but just because they played much harder on both ends than lazy has beens like Williams, Jefferson or Dalembert.
This Mavs team will try to win next season, and do so while integrating 2-3 rookies into their main rotation. We won´t slow play anything, but we need to smart play.
