The Dallas Mavericks have a problem with communication.

Center Tyson Chandler said the Mavs don’t have a lot of players who talk on the court.

“We spent time working on that today,’’ coach Rick Carlisle said. “We’re a team of guys that I think have very high basketball IQ’s, but our personality isn’t to be outgoing and talkative all the time."

“I feel like as a big guy you see everything coming, so you’re the last line of defense,’’ Chandler said. “So I try to communicate to my guys when I’m out there -- make them feel comfortable."
