No ones going to drop their heads here, Ill make sure of that.The injury toll continues to mount for the Mavericks, who received a huge scare with J.J. Barea went down in the second half of Wednesdays 90-83 loss at Boston.Barea was in great pain initially and thought the injury could be season threatening. It turned out to be a calf strain that will likely sideline the combo guard for several weeks.It was awful, Barea said. I never felt that before in my entire basketball career. I thought it was over. I thought it was the Achilles. Its a little bit of good news that its my calf. Hopefully I dont need surgery, but well just wait. I never felt that feeling before. It felt like you got shot in your leg.Barea is an integral part of Carlisles rotation, both coming off the bench or starting.

Were starting to come around. Guys are getting more comfortable.Gasol is becoming comfortable in 3-point territory this season. After only hitting 12 from deep in his first eight years in the NBA, the 7-foot center has already knocked down 16 this season.Hes the best 3-pointer shooter on the team, no disrespect, Randolph quipped. Ive been saying that for a long time.The Grizzlies four-game trip ends in Dallas. Memphis coach David Fizdale has seen an uptick in team chemistry during the last week away from home.Were really starting to become more connected as a group, he said.
