epic win against the Bulls tonight in Chicago. Double overtime. Very fun to watch.
Kirk Heinrich made a terrible foul on Monta Ellis as he was about to heave a desperation 3. Three free throws tied the game. Then in the first overtime, Rose heaved a 3 pointer that banked in (luck). And then the Mavs pulled it off in double overtime.
My first look at Rose this season, and not impressed. He often plays selfishly and ineffectively. That makes me happy because I hate Thibs. I think he's overrated. Cracks the whip on his team such that they generally overperform, but can't raise their level when it really counts. It will be interesting to see what he does with Rose. Is Thibs really in charge, or is Rose?
Dunleavy, man that guy can stroke. When he's not on the floor, they don't have much of a perimeter threat.
Anyway, Monta was a beast tonight. Fun, flowing basketball from the Mavs.
