Mavs getting physical

The evening scrimmage is over and coach Rick Carlisle said
the Mavericks he’s seen one crucial positive aspect of the early
five-on-five sessions.
 
“We’re
showing signs of being a more physical team and more a more active team,’’
Carlisle said. “Right now, that’s where we’re at and
we’re going to keep working at it.’’
 
Not
surprisingly, the aim of becoming a more physical team starts in the middle
with Brendan Haywood, Tyson Chandler, Alexis Ajinca and Ian Mahinmi.
 
“Our
big guys are a big part of it,’’ Carlisle said. “We got
athletic big guys and they’re setting a nice tone for us.’’
 
The
Mavericks have one practice scheduled at SMU for the next three days.
