Poll: Most important in this series?

[magnifier661]

I voted rebounding, or more importantly, not allowing Dallas to get the offensive boards. You can't give second shot opportunities to a team that shoots so efficiently; especially a "jump shooting team". And more importantly, how in the fuck is a jump shooting team able to get that many offensive boards?!?!?!?!

Pound the hell out of their midget backcourt in the post.

Speaking of which... Does Barrea piss you off? I seriously dislike that guy in a bad way. You could almost hear Mike and Mike disliking him as well (watched the last regular season game and they were poking fun at him). He is definitely a player that gets under my skin.

I like him on the floor against us. Andre abused him in the post two straight possessions. We put Rudy in and Barea was able to hide on D again. As long as Barea is giving up points to us, I like him. Like him a lot.

Hahahahah, yeah that's a good way of looking at it. Also, no way Kidd has another performance like he had on Saturday. We may see more of that midget as the series go on.

I voted Other. I believe it's our outside shooting. If we can shoot as accurate as an average NBA team then I think we'll win the series. But we were the 5th worst 3point shooting team in the league during the regular season and even spent some time in the bottom spot. If we can't hit 3pointers Dallas will pack it in on LaMarcus, Miller and Gerald.

I agree with this to some extent; but I like our game plan. It's much better scoring in the paint because when times get tough, that's a much higher % than outside. Dallas will live and die on the perimeter. If their outside game is suffering, they lose probably 90% (IMO) of their games. Kinda like it was for us last year.

This year we are doing a much better job scoring from the inside. We should have gotten to the line more often; which would have taken their big men out of the game. Also, if we control the offensive boards; then when Dallas misses, we can put a choke hold on em. All they need is a streak of bad shooting and this series is ours; as long as we protect the glass.

I am not fully opposed to Roy but I do want to see more Matthews and GW needs to get more involved in the offense this time.

Matthews was our best 3 ball shooter all season and he got ONE attempt in game 1. I want to see him in the game, if he is open he needs some 3 point attempts. If he isn't open that means LaMarcus or Wallace has single coverage and they need to attach inside.

Not getting fucked over by the refs.

They have no one that can play positional post defense one-on-one. Not Nowitzki or Haywood on LMA, not Barea or Kidd or Terry on Miller or Wes or Batum (or Roy, for that matter). They aren't going to be fast-breaking if they get a rebound. Go inside, crash the boards hard, foul out their guys and hit open shots if it's kicked out to you.

No Roy, lots more Rudy and Wes.
