no it's not baseball, but we are at the end of the season. Avery has said that he will try and rest his players down the stretch without mailing it in. I don't know what idiots are blaming the loss on dampier not being there. that's like saying raja bell is the X factor for an NBA title. I never heard anything about an injury to dampier..... so that's something that i assumed avery may have done. I thought it also gave the mavs a chance to see how diop can contribute in large stretches. Dampier will be a big factor against phoenix in the playoffs because he is the mavs best offensive threat at the center position. I think Diop is more athletic than damp and may match up better in defending amare, but he does nothing for the mavs at the offensive end like damp can. Avery also gave dirk the game off last night in sacto. I'm sure if it were a playoff game damp would have started the game.
