"Little General" Led The Charge
Does beating the 2005 NBA Champs help qualify Dallas' Avery Johnson winning this seasons "Coach of the Year Award?
Why not? He only helped get his team past the one squad who has historically given the Mavericks fits. When the Lakers beat the Spurs back in 2004, San Antonio's glaring weakness was shooting. The Mavs showed that this year it was footspeed (on offense and defense).
Credit Johnson for realizing that Dallas didn't need to become more physical defenders to win, just quicker ones.
