Utah in the second round ran it at them, not walk it up and use boozer. Also UTAH obviously had a point guard (and a coach) who could get the ball to their big man closer than the 3pt line.

Yeah Dallas has troubles scoring when slowing the game down. Thus why they seem to give up leads as they try to use clock and it hurts them. Golden State being able to set up their defense. Their defense wasn't that bad unless you have a low post player. A player that can be physically imposing like a Duncan or Boozer can overcome the quick hands and speed the Warriors had. Deron Williams also did matchup well with Baron Davis as he could match his size and speed. Also you gotta mention that the Warriors were on fire to end the season. Just a perfect disaster waiting to happen.
