The Mavericks looked really good without Dirk tonight in the lineup when they played the Suns tonight. When Rick Carlisle said he needed someone to step up while Carter and Nowitzki he had someone step up. Shawn Marion had an almost flawless game against his former team putting up 29 points including going 4 for 6 from three point range. Shawn Marion was definitely hot in this game! No doubt Marion was definitely the star on the Mavericks bench. The defense looked pretty good as they have in the last 6 games. This is the 15th straight game the Mavericks have held their opponent under 100 points. Honestly though I am not sure it is good defense or players are just out of shape from the lockout. Either way its a record for the Mavericks. The Mavs also are on a pretty good 3 game winning streak. Steve Nash was not very impressive tonight only scoring 8 points and not scoring a single field goal from the three point mark. The Suns definitely are in trouble, meanwhile the Mavericks get another victory. Now we can enjoy the ring ceremony Wednesday as the Mavericks take on the Timberwolves at 7:30. Maverick players will get their rings 30 minutes before tipoff.
