    Dallas signed Don Nelson to a new 3 year contract to continue as coach and GM. The coaching part of his old contract was set to expire today - he had 3 more years as GM under that old contract.

    good point.. because Nelson never really focused on defense... but hey.. the game is about scoring more points than your opponent! [​IMG]

    But Nellie just likes the run & gun game... he definately should stick with that.. because they are the best run & gun team in the league...
    they just need to add a little toughness on defense to be a championship caliber team... imho
