DALLAS – It’s safe to say that saving Chandler Parsons for the second half isn’t the solution for the Dallas Mavericks.
Consider this the NBA equivalent of a science project that had a pretty interesting hypothesis but blew up and caused a big, ol’ mess in the classroom.
The idea, which Parsons suggested after watching the Mavs’ miserable performance down the stretch of a loss in the home opener, was to make sure the point forward was available for crunch time despite his strict minutes restriction as he recovers from hybrid microfracture surgery on his right knee.
