If the Mavs win the finals...
They should give Kobe a HUGE thank you.
It was after Kobe torched them with his huge game that they truly understood and committed to playing defense. That game was the turning point for them in changing to become a championship contender. Until Kobe embarrassed them, Avery Johnson couldn't get that team to play defense seriously.
Last night's game against the Heat, Dallas played outstanding defense. They doubled Shaq, while constantly rotating out and giving Wade different looks. Nice to watch.
So I hope Avery sends Kobe a gold watch or something, because Kobe is the guy that got Dallas playing D. |
