Curry's clutch show points to Mavs' woe

The spotlight of the Dallas Mavericks , one of the greatest clutch 13-17 dominance - Stephen .

This team has great trouble trying to defend the explosive point guard.

Really, the whole road trip 2-2 Dallas Mavericks as a good example of the problem . Curry just capped it off in spectacular fashion on Wednesday night by the Golden State Warriors accounted for the final 19 points , including the game-winning jumper dribble a 95-93 loss to the Mavericks sent .

Average outing on the road trip the other side of the guard : 28.9 points, 9.0 assists, 51.3 percent shooting from the floor .

Dallas survived 26 points from nine nights to help the New Orleans Pelicans Zhu - Huo Ledi and 32 points, five assists performance by the Portland Trail Blazers ' Damien Amway Ladd , pulled out a couple of heart shock victory, tripping moderately successful but the Mavericks burned 24 points and 12 assists in Sacramento's Isaiah - Thomas and 33 points and 10 assists defeat by the two library.

Mavericks can not consider any of this is even mildly surprising. This is a drawback because build their roster this summer they have been well known.

They know that when they signed Calderon's four-year $ 29 million agreement , his lack of lateral quickness is adequate defender . This has been part of his scouting report , because he entered the league .

It certainly did not help Calderon is coming off a bone bruise , caused him to miss 30 November lost his right ankle . In fact, Samuel Dalembert , who was signed primarily flawed defensive backbone rim protection , has been a recent disappointment makes things worse .

Monta - Ellis may have a good performance on the defensive point guard, but he is far from being a defensive stopper . In addition , it may be asking too much expectation Ellis play the kind of high -level point guard to slow down , except as a major offensive initiator calf while playing 37 minutes the game needed defensive energy.

Mavericks can use their Shawn - Shawn Marion , their 6-foot- 7 -inch , do-it- all guard against occasional point guard. However, this may result in various cross- matching problem . Remember, Marion is a 35 -year-old striker , so this is an extension to think he can keep up with the lightning-fast point guard in their prime .

If you forget to watch Curry championship again. Marion ended the turn after he did not get picked for the hot hand for any help. The result is predictable : Curry create his own shot , dribble to the scene a few feet above the right elbow , pump fake to get Marion fly ball , swishing jumpers .

Shane Larkin has the potential of small pests , but a rookie generously listed at 5 feet 11 will be utilized in the expansion extends the defense .

Help with Harris in the way . He hopes to play before Christmas , the Mavericks will immediately become the best defensive point guard , but he who has not played a game in May , is coming off toe surgery guy. Harris, 30 , may also be better suited at this point in his career to defend shooting guards .

This is not a problem , the Mavericks can be avoided. Look at all the scoring threat quarterback West: Oklahoma City 's Russell - Westbrook , San Antonio's Tony - Parker, Clippers - Chris Paul , Denver Nuggets Thailand - labor Tucson, Phoenix Suns Golan - Dragic and Eric - Bledsoe , Grizzlies - Mike Conley , plus four Mavericks faced this line.

If the Mavericks can not figure out how to slow down a good point guard , it will be very difficult to move up the West standings .
