Sitting at a winless 0-4 record, the Dallas Mavericks host a talented Portland team headlined by their star-studded back court. Looked at by many to be fighting with Portland for playoff seeding, Dallas must get back on track to gain their first win of the season.
Leading the charge for Portland is their Head Coach Terry Stotts, who comes from the coaching tree of Rick Carlisle in Dallas. Stotts spent four season in Dallas under Carlisle and was an assistant on the championship team in 2011.
Stotts, at shoot around on Friday morning before the game, took time to talk with reporters about the Dallas Mavericks.
