In sports, players and coaches and even fans get it pounded into their heads on a regular basis: Play them one at a time.
What a load of hooey.
As the Mavericks round the turn and head into the final quarter of the regular season, we don’t have to play by that rule.
We can play them all at once.
But before we break down the final 20 games of the regular season, we have to consider one serious variable.
The Mavericks are not healthy. That’s not an excuse, just a fact. They have been trying to get by without their emotional and physical leader, center Tyson Chandler, and without forward Chandler Parsons, whose scoring and ability to stretch the floor have been sorely missed.
