Are you sure you're a Rockets fan? Get of the Mavs' nuts.

I think hes some little kid who really is a mavs fan. And hes scared to put the mavs as his favorite team. Its hard to believe that a rocket fan would suck so much mav , and not trump his own team.

Are you kidding? Except for DeSagana Diop in OT of Game 7, everyone guarding Tim Duncan got destroyed.

True!

I have to agree with this article. The Mavs had a good offseason, but it was not great. Their best offseason acquistion was Anthony Johnson. It appears he is a good player when he is given mins and starts. I remember someone stating that he really only did good when he started games. After reflecting on this statement, I believe it is true to a certain degree. As for the other offseason moves, I honestly dont think they are that great. When I saw George play for the Lakers, he seemed more of a liability then an asset. The guy is only good when he is on, but is usually banged up with injuries. As for Buckner, many people think is a very good defender. From my perspective, he is a decent defender. Croshere (i have no idea how to spell it), he equals KVH. Need i say more? Ager is a good player, but probably wont see much minutes when it counts. I think the Spurs had a quiet offseason with some pretty offseason moves. I love the physical play of Elson and his ability to run the court. I think Butler can prove to be a big signing. Vaughn, is a good defender and thats about it lol! The best thing for the Mavs is that they have another year under their belt. However, they wont catch people by surprise anymore with their style of play. People forget that we also have a pretty good bench. Finley, Horry, Barry, Bonner, Beno. Some maybe old, but very experienced. It should be a good season for both teams. However, with a healthy Duncan, Ginobili, Parker I give the Spurs a slight nod. Im not stating this because I am a Spurs fan. Its my honest opinion.

Personally, I'm concerned about the one area that the Spurs were very weak in all of last season - REBOUNDING. This weakness, was evident in several regular season games (on the road vs PHI and MIL) and was further magnified during the Dallas series, as they outrebounded the Spurs in virtually every game. To date, I'm not sure that the Spurs have properly addressed the issue.

While I still feel the Spurs will outlast the Mavs next season, this weakness worries me just the same. I sure hope they have at least one more transaction left in them.

I also agree. Maybe they can address it soon.
