You know, there were a bunch of people - we'll call them experts - who said Dallas was just too good for New Orleans.

Too much, what do they call it? Oh yeah, experience.

Chris Paul and his friends have stepped on that theory and crushed it pretty darn good.

And their feet aren't off the pedal.

This game is completely in New Orleans' control. It's shooting 64 percent and holding the Mavericks to 45 percent. On most nights, 45 percent would keep you in the game.

Um, not tonight.

So, fans, what do you think about this team? Have they turned you into NBA fans? Is Chris Paul the MVP?
