Eddie Sefko, Mavericks beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions from readers during a live chat Monday. Here are some of the highlights:
Question: Do you see the game in Houston as a jumping off point for Wes Matthews' play to gain some traction this season?
Sefko: He's so much better already than he was last November that it's already a successful start to the season. He's moving better and he's diving on the floor and active around the defensive perimeter. Just because his shot hasn't fallen yet, if you can't watch him and see that he's passing the eye test with flying colors, you're watching the wrong game.
