Bobcats @ Magic, Game 2:
- Didn't watch. Call me when the Bobcats win a game.
Spurs @ Mavericks, Game 2:
- Watched the first quarter and then TiVo hopped through much of the rest.
- Dallas looked rusty, like you would expect them to look at the beginning of a game 1.
- Tim Duncan and RJ led an early attack that scored points and got several Mavs in foul trouble.
- It was nice to see RJ play well. His game 1 showing was just sad. In game 2, he got it going early, found his shot, hustled and played with a lot of energy.
- Shawn Marion has looked out of shape all year. For a guy whose game relied greatly on athleticism, he isn't doing himself any favors putting on the extra weight. He used to be a beast on the boards, swiftly moving up and down the court, getting easy baskets and blocking shots. He's a shadow of that former self and I don't think he'll be in the league much longer.
- Nowitzki's shot wasn't falling but he kept on shooting, as he should. Nowitzki has a clear matchup advantage against McDyess, who covers him much of the game. McDyess is old and slow. Even with his limited mobility and athleticism, Dirk should be able to shoot over and go around McDyess. Instead, we get performances like this, where Nowitzki struggles against an inferior defender.
