Mavs Afternoon Drive: Another 'Flier' On Roddy?
More injury stuff: Drew Gooden (ribs) did not participate in full contact work for most of this week and should be considered questionable at best for Saturday’s game against Toronto. Tim Thomas (knee) worked out but is not ready to make his debut. Quinton Ross (lower back) also missed the workout. Which makes me want to bounce back to TAKE 1: If the Mavs are without Ross, Gooden, Thomas and Josh on Saturday night … wouldn’t it be wise to take another "flier’’?

Dallas Mavericks searching for offensive consistency
The consistency isn't there yet for a team that has added six new players, three of whom have already started. "Everybody hasn't clicked on all cylinders yet," said Marion, the 10th-year pro. "It's like one game it's one person and the next game it's somebody else. It's not all five or all 13 just yet. We're ready for that to start popping. Once that starts popping, it's going to be great."

I bet Dallas will look for Josh Howard to test his ankle at this morning’s shootaround and then make some evaluations from there.
