To those that argue that the Kings are a considerably better defensive team, consider this. If you throw out the first matchup of the season where the Kings blew the Mavs out and the Mavs didn't have starters on the floor in the fourth quarter (unlike the Kings), the vaunted Kings defense has given up 121 points per game against the Mavericks, as compared to the 120 points per game the Mavericks defense has given up against the Kings. My point? Aexchange is exactly right. Neither team can stop the other, and this series will come down to which team rebounds better, makes better in-game adjustments, and is able to make more shots.
Period.
