Dallas Mavericks Tickets

About The Dallas Mavericks

The Mavs are certainly giving coach Rick Carlisle a challenge. He has to figure out a rotation with this group. There are at least 10 players on the roster worth playing 20 minutes a game. First and foremost is Dirk Nowitzki. He won the Finals MVP last season and returns one of the most difficult players in the league to guard. Second is Jason Kidd. Kidd remains a competent floor general. He is not going to be asked to play outside of himself. All he has to do is rack up the assists and let the rest of the lineup take up the task of playing defense.

Dallas also has Jason Terry ready to light up the scoreboard and Shawn Marion there to play his mysterious game. Rudy Fernandez is an exciting addition. He is an athlete and a scorer and can do well with this change of scenery. The Mavs are going to need Rodrigue Beaubois to stay healthy and give Kidd a break.

The most troubling prospect is the fact Brendan Haywood is going to be the starting center. Haywood has been asked to be the primary defender before and has failed. Dirk Nowitzki is a better defender with experience so that will help, but Haywood and Nowitzki do not equal one Chandler. The Mavs also have Shawn Marion to help out defensively. Marion is a talented defender and emerged as a valuable post-up player in the playoffs.

This really is an exciting roster for the upcoming season. They can go big and small. They run a slow half court or run the full court. They have few options then playing zone on defense though. The Dallas Mavericks are going to have a more difficult time repeating as champions this time around. Every basketball team is going to be gunning for the team and this team returns needing a half a season to get the kinks worked out.
