Rethinking the Mavs-Hornets series

For what it's worth, I'm thinking the Dallas Mavericks looked better against the New Orleans Hornets than the world champion San Antonio Spurs have in their first two games of the second round series. Advancing age appears to be catching up to the lads from the Alamo City. OK, the Mavs lost game No. 2 by 24 points, but at least they scored 103 against the Hornets in that game. The Spurs have yet to break the 90-point barrier in this series.
