I think having another big would definitely help. Greg Smith has played decently in a backup role, but it seems like he has the Dalembert pizza hands syndrome at times. Jermaine O'neal, hurry your *** up!This, all of this. Mavs need another big man before the playoffs.
We also just need a better effort in the rebounding department. We're consistently getting outrebounded. It hurts when we can't finish defensive possessions with a defensive rebound. With Dallas emphasising less wear and tear on Dirk (read: less focus on him getting rebounds), Parsons needs to step up his rebounding game.
Defensive rotations have also been bad. Seems like opposing offenses can quickly get us out of sorts with a few extra passes. This might just take more time, as the team continues to gel. Again, I believe Parsons can step it up here as well. He got playing time as a rookie and sophomore because of his defensive effort, so the ability is there. He's just gotta get back to it.
