Mavericks...

Dallas in Five over Houston.

The Mavs always seem to be able to contain Yao, they also have more talent coming off the bench (Houston's missing their J-Ho), and Houston has no defensive answer for Dirk.

Which means that T-Mac is going to have to do it himself, and I don't think he can.

 

yeah i agree, the guys on the ticket said that you can match dirk for t-mac.......but after that, we have more weapons than they do

 

I think that Houston did itself a disfavor by getting the #5 slot. The Mavs are a much tougher assignment than Seattle in my opinion. Conversely, I think that the Mavs would have preferred the Kings over Houston. The problem for Dallas is that T-Mac can get on a roll and hit everything in sight plus he drives and dishes well. Tough assignment for the Mavs to contain him. But I agree that the Mavs have a deeper bench. Should be a great series.

 

Mavs should win the series....but I definitely think that Houston poses the most problems for them outside of a healthy San Antonio because of McGrady. At least you know who you are playing
