Dallas is the best first half team in the league, and the worst 3rd quarter team

Never saw anything like that, 4 games straight they dominated the first half only to **** up the third and make it a close game. :confusedshrug:

You are totally right. It's been like that the last couple of years. For some reason we start the 3rd period tired, lethargic, etc. On top of that the other team all of the sudden start making all kinds of shots. Its unbelievable. A lot of teams knows about the Mavericks' situation and they are just confident during the second half. That is something that needs to be changed, otherwise it will cost us come playoff time, if we make it that far.

teams are able to adjust to their play at the half or they've been playing teams that have looked slow in the first half and just picked it up in the 3rd quarter...Spurs are a good example.

Relax, Carlisle knows this already and he will correct whatever he needs to. He's the best coach in the league after Pop.

Yeah they have a terrible habit of blowing big leads and struggling in crunch time.
