Well, actually, it does . . . . Yao's performance in game 1 got the Mavs' attention. . . Raef LaFrenz replaced Bradley in game 2 based on Bradley's inability to stop Yao. . . . Bradley elevated his game in game 4 based on his benching in games 2&3. . . . . . The Rox might have caught the Mavs' in a weak position in game 4, a back-to-back, but the Mav's had the added incentive of Francis' dissing the team after the first three losses. Francis dissed the Mavs for playin' a zone and not being all that good. Don Nelson said about Francis: " He is sometimes dumb as a rock." To the Mavs, the Rox look like a vulnerable first round playoff opponent. They hope we are 8 and they are 1. WildArkieBoy
Of course not. You think Nellie is that dumb? Nellie ALWAYS carefully chooses his words. Sometimes it get boring.
