    I am sure Jason Terry is licking his chops at that idea.

    That means that we will have either Yao or Deke guarding Dirk and the other one guarding Howard. I dont like how that sounds at all. No way Yao or Deke can guard Dirk one on one without fouling him or giving up easy pts. Additionally if Yao and Deke are on the floor at the same time then the Mavs will be able to get some fast break pts really fast if they do get a defensive rebound.

    If the Mavs start out really hot and the Rockets get down early then I wouldnt mind trying this but I just dont feel that it will work. Our best bet is to get back to playing solid defense and not have stupid TOs like we did the past two games. It would also help if someone other than T-mac steped up in the 4th quarter.

    Arghhhhh I think Jason Terry is my new favorite player to hate along with Dirk! Terry looks like a little pre-pubescent boy pretending to be superman when he tries to flex.

    The problem isn't our interior defense but stopping their outside shooting.

    if we play yao and deke together then one of them will be forced to run to the corner and guard the 3 if the ball is swung there. that isn't good for us.


    we should play man to man with the bigs hedging on the pick and rolls.
