This is from the AP sports Mavs/Blazers preview...
"...Blazers coach Mike Dunleavy said he would be paying close attention to whether Mavericks center Shawn Bradley is playing a legal defense.
Last week in Dallas, Dunleavy made a point of alerting officials every time Bradley was not guarding a Blazers player. Zone defenses aren't allowed in the NBA, meaning each player on the court has to be guarding another player. Bradley was called for three illegal defenses during that game, in which the Blazers defeated the Mavericks 96-88.
"I think it is frustrating for teams if Bradley is cheating it, because they are already getting an advantage and one that they don't need because the guy is already 7-feet-six," Dunleavy said..."
Bradley will drive Portland to distraction tonight... Expect a big game...
