Golden St. came into Dallas and won all three games last year with Mike Montgomery at the helm for the Warriors. Remember who is coaching Golden St. now? If you need a refresher, it is Don Nelson. Yeah, that same Don Nelson who resigned as Dallas coach with 18 games left in the 04-05 season. He is still not on speaking terms with Dallas owner Mark Cuban. The Mavs lost to San Antonio in their home opener, and got trounced at Utah, and are off to an 0-2 start. Do you think Cuban has had words with the team regarding how bad he wants them to destroy the Nelson led Warriors? I'm not sure how much he has to say, after an 0-2 start this team is gonna take it out on the next opponent. Pietrus has replaced Adonal Foyle in the Warriors lineup, and that has caused Nelson to move Dunleavy to the 4, and that means Murphy is now the 5. They have had trouble adjusting to the role, and the new positions, as the team is shooting a horrible 43.1% from the floor, and just 63% from the line, and a miserable 30.3% from beyond the arc. The run-and-gun gameplan that won 3 games in Dallas last year will get blown out of the building with a focused Dallas team, and shooting like that. We have a game featuring triple revenge, an owner that wants revenge on the opponents coach, and a very good team that is off to an 0-2 start. We are not one for big numbers, but if there is a place for one, this is it!
