You want some proof that the Mavs fear the Warriors? If going to Nellie-like small ball wasn't resonant enough, how about this revelation from The Dallas Morning News' Mavs blog:
Talk about being rude hosts: the AAC had the heat on full blast in the visitors locker room! Now I know the visitors aren't supposed to be comfortable, but this was ridiculous.Okay dudes, let loose with those "it backfire and made the Warriors red hot" jokes. To yourselves. I'm sure this stuff goes on more often than we hear about, but it is a little unusual that the Mavs would need it against the eighth seed. It's a little premature to call this one a series. But when you've got the best team in the league taking this many precautions, it's obvious that the Mavs are worried about it heading down that path.
One writer and a Golden State manager were talking, and the writer said, "Why don't they just throw broken glass all over the floor, too." That's actually not a bad idea if the Spurs come to town. But needless to say, they found the thermostat and quickly got the AC running.

Can we at least shelve the idea that Avery Johnson is the best coach in the NBA? Immensely talented team but until they win a championship, let's hold off on the best in the game. I am still predicting a Dallas Detroit final with Dallas winning it all, however it wouldn't surprise me to see San Antonio make another run (despite their poor performance in game 1). Not too surprised by the Nets victory and still believe Miami will take out the Bulls. Detroit, Miami in the 2nd round should be a good one if for no other reason than to see Flip get massively outcoached as usual. Is there a more overrated coach in the NBA than Flip Saunders?

Last night, I was thinking that Cuban would mess with them while at home, but didn't think it would be this early.

I have been devoted Dallas fan for the last 6 years or so and last night was some of the worst team ball I have ever seen them play. I think they actually matched up better when Dirk was out of the game. I thought I would never say this, but It looks like the Mavs are scared to play GS and rightfully so, they havent beat them in over a year. I can see this has got inside their heads and is affecting their game. Dallas just needs to come out and do what they have done all season long and play Mavericks basketball. where is that hungry team that always finds a way to win? You gota crawl before you can walk, and Dirk whats up, did the regular season totally drain you? the playoffs are here boys, it time to answer the bell.
