I think Dirk will break 100 three’s this season anyway. With Jason Kidd in town he now has someone who can get him an easy shot on the pick and roll/pop, he’ll start getting a lot more quality looks away from the rim. Carlisle says the Mavs offense will have more movement, and less iso’s, which should also free Dirk up more to spot up.

I think it’s a good call asking Howard to work on his perimeter shooting. The Mavs need an extra shooter since most of their wings contribute so little offensively. If Howard can make that shot it’ll serve Dallas well.

Seriously, scottee needs to think a little bit before he posts.

Anyway, Dirk CAN shoot that well, and Terry WILL shoot that many. For the team to succeed, though, they need to shake things up. Even though they haven’t done as well since Dirk stopped shooting, they haven’t added a low post presence (at the 5, the 4 – allowing Dirk to slide to the 3 – or the 3), so maybe they figure that Dirk can handle that better than Howard. Hence, Howard shooting more from outside. I dunno – could work. Probably won’t. Should’ve been more active in the offseason if they wanted a shooter.

Calm down people … If you read the whole article on: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/basketball/mavs/stories/100508dnspomavslede.aa71f6.html you’ll see that the coach wants Josh to regain his old 3 point form. He is a 35% 3pt shooter for his carrer and shot just 31% last year. He wants the mavs to have a better percentage from 3pt range. So, Terry and Dirk are the primary 3pt threats, Josh just needs to make around 35, 36%. That’s all. Also, the 100 3pt for the season is an assumption made from the Dime guys, not the coach. He is not demanding Josh to change his game.

Ric Carlisle needs Josh Howard to be in the news for his play rather than his offseason antics….let the team fastbreak and worry about Dirk and Jason Terry to provide points from the outside..Howard should focus on defense and getting points from the transition game.
