Brand has had his struggles this season, but he doesn’t think the 17 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks he had in Saturday’s win over the Pistons should be considered a surprise. Those all at least match season highs, but Brand expects many more nights like this in a Mavs uniform.
“Nah, that’s not vintage,” said Brand, who was averaging 6.2 points and 6.0 rebounds entering the game. “Not even close. That’s what I can do. That’s where I’m at right now.
“With the opportunity and the looks, I’m still right there. I can do that every night – most nights – with those opportunities.”
By opportunities, Brand means shots and minutes. They were both tough to come by for Brand in the first month of the season.
