I have one question for you, KG ... re the use of the zone...

... I dont have tape on the game, so I cant go back and look ...

...but, my sense as I watched the game was that the Mavs were in a zone when they went super-small. Now that I sit here and ponder, I am wondering why I didnt focus on zone early in the 3rd, before Dirk went out, but only after he left.

Maybe I am wrong, but did they really play a zone the whole 2nd half? Now that I think about it, I really wonder. Did they play a bunch of man, or switch between man and zone, til they finally went small? I dont have any way to go back and look, but I wish I could.
