Looking back this could be a good loss. It tests the “Weisbrod Character Theory” that he used to build this team. I am sure it was also a date Okafor checked-off on his calendar. His setbacks since the NCAAs include the Olympics (which he was not a factor) and his drop to second choice in the draft (which pundits are now saying was good choice by Orl).

This game doesn't really worry me. If anything, I think this loss gives us a better chance to beat Dallas in the next game.

I’m of a similar opinion! It may temper some of the expectations the Mavericks had coming into tonight’s game. With Dallas coming off an OT game last night (similar to the Magic’s situation going into Charlotte), it may not be a good game for the Mavericks…or, as a WeisGM once said: pucker-up.
