Talk:Dallas's change of philosophy has San Antonio on the brink/@comment-93324-20060516150004

Actually, the 2004-05 Mavericks were better defensively than this year&quot;s group, allowing 103.9 pts/100 poss., as opposed to 104.7 in 2006... This year&quot;s offense is slightly better than last year&quot;s, though, scoring 112.1 pts/poss., compared to 110.5 in 2004-05. Avery slowed down the pace dramatically, giving the illusion that Dallas was doing better on defense and worse on offense.
