    Sorry I think this should be on the Dallas game thread but I can't wait.

    2 main pts:

    1. Perimeter defense. Come on we can't let Finley's 3 pointers kill us again. Mobley please be ready.

    2. Get the ball to Yao. Dallas simply can't matchup with him. Play to our strength please.

    I'll be happy if we lose to Dallas for less than 10 points.

    Everyone has to step up for this game.

    SF hasn't brought his A game in the last 2 games, but the rest of the team is stepping up.

    EG really needs to be consistent. I'm really disappointed in this soph rook. I think MoT needs to start in place of EG and provide that muscle underneath.

    Ming can keep doing what he does...

    Mobley is very inconsistent and jacks up shots left and right. He needs to think smart and get everyone involved in the game.

    Posey hasn't really been the help that's he suppose to be. I think Rice should step up in his position and get some offense going (you better back me up, Rice!).

    I would rather have Franchise get better and have Moochie play...

    I agree with Playing PD and giving Yao the damn ball...

    Last night was amazing and I can't understand why they don't bring it every night...

    :confused:

    Is it an irony that Moochie runs the point better than Francis?

    I think limiting Steve Nash's penetration is the most important thing on defense. Not only does it result in wide open 3's for Dirk and Finley, but it's going to get our big men in foul trouble. With Steve's terrible defense and his sore back, there's no way Steve can keep up with Nash. Put Cat on Nash, let Posey guard Finley and Steve can guard Raja Bell or whoever they have at the 3.

    On offense, just dump the ball into Taylor and Yao every time. They've got noone that can stop Yao. Let Taylor wear down Dirk and his hurting ankle.

    No we won't, no they won't, because we weren't offered any good deals, and yes, Rudy needs help. Coaching.

    I think the name of the thread should just be made the Game Action thread.

    BTW, we can win this. MoT and Yao can ABUSE Lafrentz, Bradley, and Nowitzki all day (offensively). We put Eddie at the 3 for a lot of the game, and on D, make him chase Dirk around, while MoT defends the 3 (Walt or Bell).

    We can win this, providing we go inside a LOT.

    You need help more than Rudy. You can't make trades for the sake of making trades. If we are offered good trades, sometimes the best move you do is no move.
