1. The defense began to slip several games before the both Dirk and Caron went down.
2. Last year's collapse could also be blamed on injuries and poor rebounding as well. At one point, Gooden was our starting Center and Eddie was our backup because Dampier was having heart and knee issues. And than their was a stretch where Eddie and Nowitzki were the centers when Dampier and Haywood were injured.
