Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

It is with one of the stranger things that I've ever seen in the association. Really weird play and it was really good in the

sense that it was really weird, really good for team content but really bad for team dallas mavericks you know I

always say that weird is good weird is good for team content yet generally except for the team that had happened to, the Mavericks.

So if you saw this, you know what I'm talking about.

If not, let me reset it really quickly for you.

The Mavericks have the Warriors at home last night.

If you're aware of the Dubs Road record this season, even Bob Myers brought it up before I could get to it.

If you're aware of the road record, it's really weird. They're not

good at all on the road. In fact, they've been pretty bad on the road this year,

Golden State. So you knew, and Dallas knew this, this was a great opportunity for them to get a win, a win they badly need, since right now they're tied with the Lakers in the West, barely holding on to a playing spot.

But you know what really doesn't help you win games during the home stretch of the

NBA season?

Failing to guard your own basket. In fact, failing to guard your own basket.

In fact, failing to guard your own basket will never help you win any NBA games during

any stretch of any season.

failing to guard your own basket doesn't even work at your local run, at your

local gym or at the Y. It is not a winning strategy. That's not a play you want to incorporate. And yet this is happening in the

Association. And yet there are the Mavs late in the third quarter of an enormous

game just giving away a free bucket.

This would be the Knights to really look for those twos and attacking.

What is going on?
