Hopefully little general doesn't hold any grudge towards the Mavs.

Tyson Chandler was back for practice on Wednesday - and for an elongated film session that the coaches put the players through.

Chandler missed two practices and Tuesday's game against Golden State with a stomach illness. Coach Rick Carlisle said the starting center wasn't 100 percent at Wednesday's sessions, but that if he continues to improve over the next 24 hours, he should be good to go against the Nets Thursday.

The Mavericks were OK against the smallish Warriors without Chandler, but the Nets are a bigger team and Chandler's return will be welcomed, no doubt.

The 17-4 Mavs need Tyson Chandler to beat the 6-16 Nets?!? And at their home court for that matter? GTFO. We should be able to beat them even if DIRK was the one with the stomach flu. This game shouldnt even be close by halftime. Avery might have a few tricks up his sleeve in his first game coaching against his former team, but there is absolutely no excuse to lose this game.

Have you considered that maybe the reason he's so much more efficient this season is that we're not forcing the offense through him as predictably as we used to?

Maybe, but I doubt it. DIRK has always been efficient. I rather DIRK take the most shots than be equal in FGA with Butler and Terry. Championship teams need an established heirarchy to win. Butler & Terry may get the wrong impression that they should be taking shots in the crunch time of close games when in actuality it should be DIRK and only DIRK.
