    if there was one good team i think the rockets could sweep in the western conference, i thought it was the mavs... before our back court was in trouble.

    Dirk has always been frustrated by a strong small forward guarding him. Van Gundy first exploited this in Dirk when he put McGrady on him face-guarding Dirk and forcing Dirk to put the ball on the floor where a second perimeter defender attacked his dribble, forcing him to throw up a crap shot or to hold up the dribble and have to pass out.

    McHale should already know this and have Parsons and Lee/Dragic ready to go. I full expect to see a lot of Goran/Lee/Budinger/Parsons on the floor together tonight.

    Mavs also run alot of zone, so we have to move the ball well and be ready for the shots. We can't have any turnovers!

    Who ever loses this game will be the owner of the 9th spot. Expect Dallas to come out with heavy mettle. This will be interesting, because when the good teams need a victory and they are better than you, they will win. Hopefully the rockets can take care of home court.

    I kind of hope they don't start out that way and then shock Dirk by doing it later.....

    Agreed. Start out man on man and then switch it up later in the game.....if need be. Scola should guard him tight though and force him to put it on the floor and take it to the hole.
