Sitting three starters and losing the second game of the season against the Clippers is only a sign of what's to come this month.
As the Dallas Mavericks continue to integrate their injured players into the lineup (with Chandler Parsons eyeing his season debut Sunday and the status of Deron Williams now somewhat uncertain), they will receive little mercy from the schedule makers.
After bringing an undermanned squad to the court Thursday night against the Clippers, Dallas will likely have to do the same thing on Nov. 11, when they host DeAndre in Dallas for the first time since the debacle, once again on the second night of a back-to-back.
