1 unit....dallas under 204

tons of people on the over, but i gotta ask-- why? anytime you put a team in a must-win situation on their home court it results in a focused defensive effort, especially vs dallas.

and good teams learn from their previous games mistakes.

consider:

opening round dallas vs portland.
portland vs dallas in the first game at portland (game three)
blazers try to run with dallas.
mavs blow them out 115-103
what do blazers do in a must-win next game? 98-79 final

second round dallas vs sacramento
sacto vs dallas in the first game at sacramento (game three)
sacto runs with dallas.
mavs win and put sacto in a must-win game
what do kings do in a must-win next game? 99-83 final

clearly, this is a must-win for san antonio.
to me, there is no way in hell theyre gonna be stupid enough to trade baskets with the mavs again. even if dallas tries to suck them into that tempo, id be surprised if the spurs bite.

i understand the mavs play no D and over looks tempting, but a veteran team in a must-win situation (spurs) is not gonna get sucked into a track meet, especially on their home court

but then again, maybe this is a 113-105 game.

gl guys. under for me
