46-1 is tough to beat

Since November, 2003, the Mavericks are now 46-1 when holding opponents under 90 points. 46 of 47 times, if they hold a team under 90, they get the 'W.' I could reiterate that statement a few more times, but you get the point.

There's no question they're far from a perfect defensive team, and when Dallas faces a PG who can slash and shoot, they usually cough up a great many points. Still, if they can get a handle on the defensive end per AJ's demands, the Mavs may wind up as the most dominant team in the league. 46-1 should send alarm bells ringing throughout the NBA: if the Mavs can defend with authority in the playoffs, SA and Detroit beware.
