RE:Nellie on Barkley
I don't agree with a lot of what Barkley says (on the occasion I actually listen to him), but there is no doubt that the Mavs have a reputation of being soft. That goes for Nash, Dirk & Finley. NVE was the only "non-soft" player the Mavs had as far as the perception goes.
This year's team with the additon of Walker, Delk & Fortson (not to mention the new rookies) are moving towards erasing that perception.
Who knows, maybe even Barkley will start giving them credit. Then again, who cares?
