It should be noted that the Mavs have stayed the highest scoring team in the league this year but added enough defense to be considered one of the top teams statistical wise on the defensive end. The result is the best record in the league so far. We need both offense and defense. I don't think I can remember a championship team in the NBA that didn't have a fairly good balance. Even the Pistons could score points. The Mavs don't have to be the best defensive team to win a championship, but they do need to incorporate a good deal more defense into their playoff run than they did last year. We need more and better balance. Teamwork is the key. We cannot afford to play as a group of individuals, we need to play as a team.
