Dallas is losing the series because of Dirk

[irishock]

I can see why they're 3-0 down when they should have come home up 2-0.

Dirk isn't 2011 dirk anymore. He has the scoring ability, but no go-to-guy mentality, just like his teammate Vince Carter.

[DAF86]

They are losing/playing this series because of Cuban.

[irishock]

Even with Chandler there they wouldn't do shit. Dirk can not will his team to victories like he could from 2006-2011.

[romad_20]

That...and Jason Kidd is beyond done.

[Stalin]

dirk is TOSB, tbh

[ducks]

dirk looked gas
thunder are to physically for him

[pass1st]

They are missing a little leprechaun running between everybody's legs and launching floaters

[lurker]

The combination of winning the championship, the lockout and Cuban gambling on Deron made Dirk lazy. He never thought they stood a chance and it showed.

[Venti Quattro]

Cubes should have just made smaller gambles rather than going for broke. He still had a championship team on his hand and the least he could have done for them is to give them a chance to defend it.

[Stalin]

^ dirk reached such TOSB level, he can't even drink water on his own

cuban told him his plan so the offseason dirk said fuck it
he saved FUCK YOU CUBAN I WILL BE A S.O.B then

[ElNono]

There should be a paragraph reserved for Odom here somewhere... dude really fucked them in the ass...

Other than the fact they would have been up 2-0 heading home with Chandler

Kidd is awful. And losing JJ/Stevenson was big

[baseline bum]

Nah, they'd have a great shot at taking the conference with Chandler. I fucking hate the Mavericks and even I cringe seeing Haywood on the floor; that guy is the most worthless player in Texas since Jefferson got sent home.

[NewcastleKEG]

^ Agreed

Even if they get Deron next year.....you still have no post defense & Marion is aging. Considering the season Chandler had... looks like Cuban will greatly regret the decision to let Chandler walk

[TDMVPDPOY]

i didnt watch game 3, but did cardinal get any minutes?

[Proxy]

Amazing how far the Mavs have fallen since last year. I would put it all on Cuban. Odom fucked them, but he would've been on a different team had JJ and Tyson been resigned.

[Jacob1983]

The Mavs are losing the series because Mark Cuban was an arrogant dumbass in the offseason and gutted half of the damn team. Stevenson and Chandler were great defenders and thug type players. JJ Barea was a stud and let's not forget about Peja knocking down the occassional wide open 3 pointer. You take those players away and what do you expect?

[mkurts]

The Mavericks suck that's why they're losing.

Dirk can't hit clutch or much of anything else, and Kidd the moron keeps passing when he has a good shot right in front of the basket. Marion isn't helping at all - the whole team is D League material right now.

I thought Terry said something about Game 7 mentality ? His woeful performance is more like a loser mentality.

I actually thought this might be a series, but bring on the BROOM :hat

[TDMVPDPOY]

if they g oing to give up game 4, hopefully they take a few thunder players with them

[LkrFan]

I hate Dallas but fuck you, Cuban!! You dismantled the team and took away their best chance to defend the title. You're exactly who I thought you were-an arrogant asshole.

[mavs>spurs]

Other than the fact they would have been up 2-0 heading home with Chandler

Kidd is awful. And losing JJ/Stevenson was big

yeah i agree with all that. i wanted so badly to bring stevenson back at a cheap price, but then they went and signed findog instead. brian fucking cardinal on your bench instead of lincoln :rolleyes

wrong trolling target imho, VC been their only guy who shows some ambition to win cuz he doesn't have a ring yet, but they rest of team seems to be VERY content with their ring and they're all playing like asses all season long tbh

[Kamnik]

With Chandler the west would be a fair fight betwen DAL, OKC, SAS, MEM and maybe LAL.

Without Chandler they don't stand a chance in the west. And the whole Odom thing certanily didn't help.

[rayjayjohnson]

Can't blame Cuban for the Odom thing. No one knew he was going to suck donkey cock.

[100%duncan]

Tbh, if chandler stayed, they can beat anyone in the league.

[Leetonidas]

Proof that Dirk was incorrectly overrated during the summer imo, dude has no drive anymore, it's pretty pathetic watching your so-called leader out there playing completely enthused like shit. His teammates, especially the ones who are new, must be pretty annoyed with this sad display of "leadership" :lol
