Manu saves the day against the Griz, with 13 of 14 from the line and 30 total points. He's playing some serious ball early this year, so it appears the summer rest might have helped.
If Darius keeps playing the way he has so far, and then improving, he's got a good chance to edge out Jacque Vaughn for the backup point guard position. Of course, with 10 or 11 years experience, Jacque will probably get Pop's nod in various crunch times when he's healthy. But I'm still impressed with DW's strength and hustle!
Well, I guess it's that time for Pop to crank up the meat grinder again. "Hey RC, tell Pop that this sausage is good, but it's needs a tiny bit more Mavericks in it."
They didn't make a lot of roster changes, and I like it. Elson and Oberto now know what to expect coming into the new season. Udoka had nice numbers. Darius Washington has played OK given his experience. Barring a major injury, I think this team clears 60 wins... easily.
