Pizmo,
yes it is the first half....
Scrubbo,
Good call on the nets game tonight I am a fan of that division and have watched the nets before( in fact last year I played them often) You are right they are for real, and with that rebounding advatage I will circle the calender when they play the pistons. Thanks again...
Last minute Dallas note:
Before the trip started, Nelson disclosed that: "I don't even know who we play after the Lakers," only for assistant coach Del Harris to politely remind him of the next opponent: Michael Jordan at home Saturday.
The Mavericks have gone to the press the past two games as a means to get some early energy after a string of poor starts.
"We're still giving up some points," Harris said, "but it makes the guys know that, to please the coach, they're going to have to come out aggressive. We're just trying to use whatever works, for as long as it works."
It's safe, then, to assume that the Mavericks will try a variety of defensive looks in a quest for confusion, in spite of Nelson's prediction that "I'm probably going to bore a lot of people" with his strategy. He'll only get specific about the pressing, which Nelson cautions "gets harder as the other team gets better."
See the late team at halftime.
