Quote of Note
"That's our game. That's how we should play the whole season. We shouldn't run many plays. We just have to get out, run, flow, pass, cut, and find the open guy. We have so many threats on the offensive end that teams have to help a lot. We just have to find the open man."
Monta Ellis on the offense
They Tweeted It
It must be new for Dallas to score so many points in the paint. When both were asked about 76 PITP, Carlisle & Dirk started with “Us?"
