To Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle, the change in James Harden's position is largely semantics. But that might not be the only change. Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni went into Wednesday's game wanting Harden to more often look to shoot, an issue previous coaches did not have with him.
"It's a fine line," D'Antoni said. "I don't want him to fall into the trap of just playmaking. I don't want him to fall into the trap of just taking every shot. He has to tip-toe on that fine line. It's not easy, but I definitely have faith he'll do it really well.
