W/ us having our very own Mavs Fan in Funky. I'd like to know what Funky thinks of the first round match up. I believe the season series was tied at 2 a piece, or may be dallas was up 2-1, not sure. But, this will be a very exciting series that i think may go 6 or 7. Both teams match up pretty well. But, does Dallas have good enough D(not harping on past seasons, harping on what I've seen from the mavs this year). I've noticed they miss rotations, and still don't seem to be able to close down the lane enough. They have been playing much better D lately, and are peaking heading into the play offs. But, the biggest question mark w/ dallas is, is there defense good enough? Obviously they've got scorers.
As for Houston they've got alot of good defenders, and some great team defenders. Lots of experience and defensive minds. Mutombo, T-mac, Spoon, Padget, Wesley, James, Sura are all good team/individual defenders. The question is will they be able to score enough. They tend to go through severe scoring droughts at times, relying on their defense too much.
This will be a good series to watch.
