the mavs are called soft because they cant stop anybody on D.

i dont think it has as much to do with race as it has to do with the fact their defense at times is absolutely attrocious, and instead of bearing down and trying to shut ppl down on D, they try to outscore their opponents. they also rely strictly on an outside game on O, and dont have any solid post players. this is why they are called soft.

sacto has a ton of white players as well, but they can actually guard. ppl call david robinson soft, and hes as black as they come. lets not make mountains out of mole hills.
