DMN - Improved defense unveiled

[V]

The trouble is the Mavs need to invert the performance. Defensive intensity was high in the first quarter but it seemed to fall off as the players tired. Dirk was noticably worn. The fourth quarter needs to be the Mavs best quarter defensively. When that happens we'll start to see this team put the oposition away early.

All together this was a great performance to build upon.

If this game is an indication of what we'll see more of from our Mavs, then I am truly excited.

I was just watching in disbelief as I watched our Mavs block shots and out-dunk the opponent.

Moreover, I was expecting less than good team chemistry, but what this team's chemistry seems already to be better than last year's team at the end of a whole year.

Again if this game will be the norm, then we will be treated to a year where easy lay-ups for our opponents are more a rarity than a given.

Furthermore, we actually have the makings of an inside-outside game. This is a year of true promise for our Mavs.

Mavs fans be excited, be very excited.
