How's Marion looked vs the Spurs so far?

[picc84]

He's not counted on to score 20 a game like vs Phoenix, so he should be having a good series.

Right?


:lmao :rollin

[NickiRasgo]

He's still pussy.

[hitmanyr2k]

Like I said before, the Spurs want Marion to shoot as much as possible. He probably has the worst touch around the rim that I've ever seen from a SF.

[sribb43]

Jefferson >>>>>> Marion

[nkdlunch]

Like Marion of allways. choking when it matters and nonexistent when it really matters

[TheChillFactor]

yeah but the things he does don't show up in the boxscore...things like sit on the bench the whole 2nd half

croflmao

[EmptyMan]

I said it in the game thread, but I continuously completely forget that Marion is on the Mavs (srs)

[DJ Mbenga]

LMAO. barrea>>>>>>>>>>>>>Butler, Marion

[timvpimp]

no matter how well or poorly he plays, I would be glad if he was played in Barea's place but he wasn't.

[timvpimp]

LMAO. barrea>>>>>>>>>>>>>Butler, Marion
That's exactly what Carlisle regards as highly as maxim.

[picc84]

The problem for the Mavs is they have 2 starters that aren't great scorers at all. If you keep Kidd off the 3 point line he becomes non existent on the offense end. And Marion for some reason against the Spurs just disappears.

If I were Carlise I would demand Kidd to attack the basket everytime the Spurs run him off the 3 point line, and I wouldn't play Marion in this series at all.

Thats not the problem. LA has 2 starters who can't score for shit too. The Mavs problem, as it has ALWAYS been, is that they have consistently had one first option player (Dirk), and a whole boatload of third option players (Howard/Harris/Stackhouse/Terry, now Butler/Marion/Kidd/Terry), but never an actual second option player.

[ElNono]

Marion, the Ginobili stopper? :lmao

[alchemist]

He's been a real Ginobili stopper. :wakeup

[ElNono]

lol

True. Mavs are a deep team but Dirk really lacks an all-NBA teammate or an all-star teammate for that matter.

Kobe/Pau
Duncan/Manu/Parker
KG/Pierce/Allen (not so great anymore)

The only player with the transcendence to get away with lacking a true 2nd option is Lebron.

[Trainwreck2100]

Marion, the Ginobili stopper? :lmao

Dirk's elbow>>>>>Marion

[nkdlunch]

well Barea and Turtle were hitting some bullshit shots. if they keep hitting them RC is forced to leave them on the floor.

[ShoogarBear]

You mean like a Steve Nash? Or a Michael Finley in his prime?

[NewJerSpur]

Cuban may just admit the mistake and eat his salary. 4 years was a bit much.

speaking of, is he still paying Avery?

[NewJerSpur]

Good question.

[m33p0]

he looked quick, athletic and skilled.....









































.... against Bonner.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol mavfans b4 the series who think his the defensive stopper top calibre player...this guy has always been the spurs bitch and hasnt even shut down anyone in his career....dont believe the shit you see when he played with the nash suns or wade heat, this guy is fkn overrated.

:lmao

how bout a Nick Van Exel off the bench?




I almost choked on my sourdough jack when I heard mavs thinking Marion was any sort of playoff stopper

[angelbelow]

who?

[pauls931]

Marion - Product of Nash™

[Muser]

I've not seen a lot of this good D mav fans talked about.

[easy7]

Well, there was a reason the Suns let him go. Talked a lot of shit and didn't back it up. :hat

[pauls931]

Well, there was a reason the Suns let him go. Talked a lot of shit and didn't back it up. :hat

Biggest reason I think is he cost and lot and could not create his own shot. Hench dissapearing in the playoffs especially against the Spurs who pay attention to him on D to prevent cheap scoring opportunities. I liked him on defense, but honestly, he was a garbage collector on Offense.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

He's not counted on to score 20 a game like vs Phoenix, so he should be having a good series.

Right?


:lmao :rollin


:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao


The best part of that is, he was never counted on to score 20 a game on Phoenix, he was supposed to let his offense come to him, he didn't and ended up throwing tons of possessions away with stupid shots, exactly what he's doing right now.

But anyway, good thread :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

His stats from last night

17 minutes, 3-9 shooting, and the lowest +/- of anyone on his team.....-17 in 17 minutes :lmao

[picc84]

Kobe/Pau
Duncan/Manu/Parker

The only player with the transcendence to get away with lacking a true 2nd option is Lebron.

Agreed. Lebron is good enough to make up for not having a true second option, but at the same time he still has the deepest team in the league. Really no surprise they were the best this year.

The Mavs have more talent on their roster than anyone except maybe a couple of teams, but lack that one ex-factor of a true second all-star. Instead they have a plethora of semi-all-stars.

And now twitter is tugging at the inner primadonna in him. :lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Inner primadonna :lol, everyone has known Marion is a primadonna for some time now. It was only a matter of time before he whined about not playing enough or getting enough touches.

[z0sa]

Marion is the Spurs' bitch, through and fucking through.

[Findog]

I've not seen a lot of this good D mav fans talked about.

It was there in the regular season against Kobe, Bron and Melo. They all shot very poorly matched up against him.

Why he pisses himself at the sight of the Spurs logo, I do not know. On paper he should be an effective option for checking Ginobili :bang

[Ghazi]

Also defended Durant well

But all of those guys are small forwards

GInobilis a 2 guard

Kobe has the speed of a small forward these days in my humble points which is why he was able to defend him decently.

[picc84]

Marion defended Kobe well because Kobe is a shell of himself. He shoots poorly regularly now, regardless of who defends him. Even Stevenson played good D. Its not like Marion is expected to shut him down because of history, Kobe used to routinely ABUSE Marion whenever we played the Suns to the point I thought he was scared of him.

[spursfan1000]

Marion has been doing solid on defense, he has had some nice post up moves during the series.

[ElNono]

I agree with Shawn, he should play more. All 48 minutes if possible. :tu

[word]

Players are traded for a reason.
