So far, my favorite storyline of the Dallas Mavericks' 2011-12 season is the participation of the deep regions of their bench.
The Mavs won again last night, 100-86, and it wasn't even that close, in Detroit. Nothing like four quarters of the Detroit Pistons to make you feel good. That team is terrible.
Thankfully, the blowout in the third quarter resulted in a mass exodus of the bench. The enjoyment for me is twofold: First, Dirk Nowitzki and others get a respite. He played 27 minutes last night. Shawn Marion played 22.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing them less, win or lose. Especially against bad teams. Maybe there's not much difference between 19 minutes and 27. Seems that time would add up.
Also, Jason Kidd, take your time. We don't need you. If the Mavs lose a couple of games without you, things will go on. Take extra time, get 100 percent healthy and come back when you want.
Almost every game Rick Carlisle's going 10 deep on his roster. Last night he was afford the opportunity of going 13 deep with Yi Jianlian getting five minutes and somehow posting a -11, which is borderline impossible. Leave it to the Chinese to break new ground.
Which brings me to Brandan Wright. Are we sure he can't play? Are we sure that he's not at least a bench rotation guy? I don't think he's any more than that, but the Mavericks typically go for size once the sixth and seventh players come off the bench. This includes Lamar Odom and Ian Mahinmi. Granted, Wright isn't small. He looks smaller than he is (6-10, 245 listed). Just saying, I think there's room to fit him in there. More room for him than Brian Cardinal.
