Second honeymoon for Crowder
BOSTON -- At the start of the February, it felt like the honeymoon was over. Jae Crowder, acquired in mid-December as part of the deal that sent Rajon Rondo to the Dallas Mavericks, had raised eyebrows early in his Boston tenure and, when Jeff Green was dealt away to Memphis in early January, Crowder elevated to starting small forward. But his production waned and, in a 10-game span beginning on Jan. 14, Crowder was a team-worse minus-71 in plus/minus and his advanced numbers were an absolute eyesore (team-worst minus-16.

ESPNDallas.com columnist Jean-Jacques Taylor and MavsOutsider.com editor-in-chief Bryan Gutierrez join Tim MacMahon each week to run a three-man weave on a few questions on the minds of Mavericks fans. 1. What kind of production do you anticipate from Amar'e Stoudemire? Gutierrez: Stoudemire should be good for scoring in double figures or close to it every night.

Rondo, Carlisle must make it work for now
ATLANTA -- Rajon Rondo is a renowned pain in the butt to coach. Plenty of players have cussed Rick Carlisle, either to his face or behind his back. So it can't be considered too much of a stunner that this pair combined for the most explosive coach-player fireworks of the NBA season to this point. Now what?

Rondo's tenure with Mavs might be short
DALLAS -- On the day the four-time All-Star point guard arrived as the headliner of a blockbuster trade, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban made it clear that he didn't consider Rajon Rondo to be a rental player. A little more than two months later, Cuban might want to check in with coach Rick Carlisle on that. Actually, perhaps it'd be best to wait for cooler heads to prevail. Carlisle predictably wasn't in much of a mood to chat about Rondo after Tuesday night's 99-92 win over the Toronto Raptors.
