The “Vet Dallas team & their favorable matchup” I eluded to before Game #1
Looked & sounds far more dysfunctional than first imagined
The Mavs Game 1 questionable shot selection & fading bench production
Was proof-positive that the reports of Dallas’ turmoil are at least partially true
Most of Dallas supposed key advantages vs Houston were turned on their heads in Game 1
1 Turnovers Game 1 HOU -4 (17-13)
Dal #3 NBA Regular Season | Hou #28
2 Bench HOU +4 Pts (Brewer & Smith changing HOU Bench stylistics)
Dal #8 Regular Season | Hou #23
Yet, most of the things we always expect from Houston
Came thru in robust manner
1 FT’s | Hou +18 FTM (32-14)
2 Three Pointers Made | Hou +4 (10-6)
Liking Houston to twist the knife here
