The Mavs defense has been suspect in all their games. They really have no "Defenders" outside of Tyson Chandler. They will probably get away with winning today but it'll be interesting to see if they can play defense when they need to against better teams.
We are 4 games in. Leverage? You guys have played the 4 worst teams in the league. You are feeling your oats right now, but don't get ahead of yourself.
Did you see the WCF playoff seeding last season? Losing to bad teams you aren't supposed to really stings when the difference between teams is one or two games.
Spurs lost to almost every WC contender and won almost every single game against the scrub teams which got them a 60 win season. won a championship. winning against scrub teams matter.
Yep exactly. I say if you can beat up on the bad teams enough then the wins you get against the good teams are just a bonus. If the Rockets dropped the game against the 6ers then the b2b with the Heat would have been a tougher pill to swallow and left us at 3-2 instead of being 4-1. Now if we beat the Heat it's like "Oh hey, look at that...5-0..." Good fight by the Celtics though. Jeff Green took a stupid shot they had the full 24 seconds on the clock.
exactly. we have to make the most of the opportunity...let okc lose some games and we'll see if what keeps his mouth running. the rockets have a weak bench; we need to put teams away while we can, because it'll be tougher with upper echelon teams if we have a shot at the playoffs, each game counts
