    Mavs just don't seem to miss jumpers in the 4th quarter...Mavs guys are getting wide open jumpers, and they are knocking them down. Small ball is winning right now. Mavs up 6 with 1:45 left in the game.

    Well, if they get close to Dirk, one of them is going to foul out

    So really...they haven't had a single shot all game that was as wide open as BOTH of their last attempts...

    WHY NOW? OBVIOUSLY it was a change to the defensive scheme...

    OK, some of you guys need to understand the following...

    YOU CAN'T GUARD FIVE SHOOTERS AT THE SAME TIME!!

    Dallas has Stackhouse, Finely, Terry, and Nowitzki in. ONE OF THEM must be open. So choose who you want to eb beaten by

    We are just outmanned guys! Dallas is alot deeper, keep in mind we're playing without a PF and a PG.

    Guys, as much as I hate to say it, Dallas is the better team. They have too many dang weapons....Terry/Stackhouse/Finley/Nowitzki will all hit shots in crunch time. The Rockets have Tracy McGrady and Yao and tahts about it...I'll give the boys credit, they played their hearts out tonight.

    Again, Tracy can't finish point blank.

    We'd be up right now if he could.

    Rockets have missed 5 free throws in the 4th quarter alone.

    TMac misses another layup, but gets Dirk's 5th foul in the process. TMac / Yao pick and roll needs to be the play each and every time down the floor from here on out.

    One positive to take away from this game regardless.... we need to realize that the pick and roll between Yao and T-mac CANNOT BE STOPPED!

    If we lose, it's missed free throws, TMac's missed layup, and Dirk's phantom blocking call on TMac...but more than anything else, unbelievable looseness again on defense. It's our calling card, and we're not getting it done on D.

    Why hasn't Van Gundy tried more of an extended zone since they're doing nothing inside? It may let TMac rest more, too.
