Mavs defense is underrated.

[Simon2]

I have been reading some other sites and the knock on this trade is that the Mavs still don't have defense. The naysayers describe the Mav defense as if the Mavs just stand around and let people shoot around them. I think people tend to forget at the end of games last year, Nash and Nick were the guards which meant that one of them had to guard the other teams sg. I think the defense will be better this year because 4 players on the starting five will be playing in their natural positions. Some would say that Duncan and Shaq's inside play was the one that killed the Mavs. So let Duncan or Shaq get his, shut the other people down. I think the Mavs will have a better defense this year. Dirk should also come back with better one-on-one defense.
