I hope for a close game late. Make Minny make the winning plays late if they get the Win. Maybe they feel the pressure and you leave 2-0. A tight game late is where the Mavs really have been good.
As I said after last game, my biggest fear is an aggressive Minny team with a friendly whistle where PJ and/or Lively get in early foul trouble.
I'm sorry but you don't hang 33 on a team in the first quarter when you're exhausted from the previous series, either mentally or physically. The Mavs didn't play to their potential either so I think they find out tonight that the Mavs are the better team and we go up 2-0. Had they ended up beating us, none of the exhausted or effort stuff would have ever been mentioned. It's an inexperienced team that doesn't know what it takes at this level and just because they want to play better doesn't mean that we can't also. Mavs go up 2-0 tonight!
