1:49.1	Charx-I am a hard time figuring this team out. They've been up and down all season long,
1:53.9	guys in and out of the lineup. Right now, entering Wednesdays game against the next,

2:04.2	What's your first thought about the current state of the Dallas Mavericks?

2:25.3	all their best players. We're still guessing. Pass it with the new coach.
2:30.5	You're right, with Jason Kidd. It has been harder to assess some of the changes that he's made
2:34.9	with so many guys being in and out of the lineup. One of the ones that I really do like was the
2:39.2	decision to put Jalen Brunson in the starting five over Tim Hardaway Jr. Hardaway is a good
