No, Parsons was a better fit for this team and is a better player than Ariza. He was the best facilitator and tied the loose ends. The rockets are gonna get exposed in a bit. That atrocious bench and lack of movement on offense is becoming more and more glaring.

If Parsons shoots 3pt as good as the prime Peja and with even better athleticism he'd be well worth 15m a year, but sad news is he isn't.

Not yet. But players usually improve their shooting the longer they are in the league. But yes he probably won't ever shoot as well as Peja. But if he is close, that would be huge. He was the leading scorer for the Mavs last game. That's a good sign. And it's not like the Mavs are relyig on him. They got plenty of others that can take up the slack when he is struggling.

Meaningful? Sure.

Um, no.

Keith Van Horn is a better comparison. Similar size, similar skill set.

Parsons may have an argument for a higher ceiling though. He seems to be a bit more naturally talented and athletic, while KVH was a more polished player. It's a bit surprising how solid of a shooter and ball handler he is with his strange fundamentals, but I suppose that is a testament to his raw talent. If Parsons works more on his fundamentals and polishes his game up, he will have a very nice career.

[Franklin]

Ellis is the better player overall than TC at this moment, i mean his market value might be higher but apparently big daddy TC is more valuable to our team since he's our defensive anchor and our primary rebounder. We could start Devin or even Felton at SG if Ellis went down, but if TC suffers a serious injury and misses considerable games we'd be no better than what we were the past seasons since 2011.

[mavsfan1000]

40 point first quarter. Not too surprising.

[mavsfan1000]

If only we could perform better in the 3rd quarter. I guess I understand we put great effort in the 1st half. But Harris and Wright help us when our starters fail.

[GuerillaBlack]

ariza was good, I'll eat shit if he even maintains 16ppg on decent shooting though.

I don't know how you said he is a worse fit than Parsons. Plays better D than Parsons (Parsons does not play D, look at what Jeff Green did against him last night), and is a better three point shooter. Mavs are playing like the Rockets last year with him in the lineup. They just try to outscore the opponent and not play D because they can't. Parsons is a good player, but not at that price.

[Phillip]

Plays better D than Parsons (Parsons does not play D, look at what Jeff Green did against him last night), and is a better three point shooter.

Parsons defense had little to do with Green last night. Parsons wasn't on him for much of the game, and he got probably 2/3 of those points by running a 1 man fast break and somehow hitting a bunch of pull-up jumpers and 3s in transition.

I'm not saying Parsons is some great defender, although he certainly has had times so far this season where he seemed to play better defense than he did in Houston, but last night's explosion by Green and Avery Bradley didn't have much to do with him. They just couldn't miss anything, and Boston got an absurd amount of offensive rebounds leading to wide open 3s.

[djohn2oo8]

won't be a better fit once Harden enters choke mode and they need someone to create shots.

Except Parsons doesn't create shots. They will need a PG for that.

[djohn2oo8]

i know. i was responding to Sook, who is upset at Parsons leaving, while i've been arguing Ariza fits just fine anyway

Parsons was not going to be content with being the third option with the Rockets. Complaining about shots last year so he could get a contract.

[Phillip]

Except Parsons doesn't create shots. They will need a PG for that.

It's an early season sample size, but so far he has done a solid job in Dallas of creating shots for both himself and others. But tbh with the superior coaching and superior overall balance of talent, it may be easier to do it in Dallas also. It's probably not particularly easy to do when you have a moron for a coach, a ballhog chucker SG, and a big man who can't even hit a 10 foot jumper consistently and clogs the paint up.

Either way, we need more time to really see what Parsons is going to be all about in this system, but so far, it appears to suit him very well. He has lots of open space to work with and make things happen.

True.

[Franklin]

Agree with Phillip. If what you need out of your SF is just dirty work and some cheap shots (like Bruce Bowen used to do), Ariza is apparently the better "fit". But when you're playing a system where the SF needs to contribute significantly to your offense in the forms of points, assists and else, an all-round player like Parsons is surely the better fit, and that's also why Parsons is so much an upgrade over even the 11' Marion tbh.

[Roxsfan]

Parsons is NOT worth that money. Period. Glad he is working out for you all, minus game one. lol

[Franklin]

Parsons is worth about 10m/yr in today's market imho, so 15m/yr doesn't look too bad. Dirk took paycut so we had the space to sign him, just like Dirk said, the extra 5m is Dirk's money. With TC coming off the book next summer and re-signed for about 5m/yr we'll still have some space to work with in the FA market imho. I heard some Texan team offered Dirk max last summer yet still got rejected straight away, enlighten me which team that was?

[Phillip]

Parsons is NOT worth that money. Period.

No one said he is. Why do rocketfans always have to bring up his contract? Everyone already knows he is overpaid. It's like they have some personal vendetta or something against him. Or perhaps deep down they know that Ariza is a clear downgrade but they don't want to admit that they are upset over it. I can't quite tell.

Well last year when that happened, the "best SF in the series" got taken to the woodshed by Batum, who later said that gave him motivation. Parsons in the media is hilarious. Last year he says that Dwight was his favorite player while growing up in Orlando. This year, Dirk has "always" been his favorite. Parsons is a damn fool. Match him up against a good team or someone at least as athletic as him, and he shuts down.

Mavs have been the most overrated team entering the season.

Nah son, he wasn't held back. He had the 3rd most shots on the team. I can't tell you how many times the ball was passed to Parsons to give him freedom to create. Same thing with Lin. Without those two, there is a lot of ball movement now. No one trying to prove anything, or be a player that they clearly are not.

Last year he says that Dwight was his favorite player while growing up in Orlando. This year, Dirk has "always" been his favorite. Parsons is a damn fool. Match him up against a good team or someone at least as athletic as him, and he shuts down.

Mavs have been the most overrated team entering the season.


lol taken to the woodshed

how easily impressed are you?

Basically every game he got shit on. Dirk/Monta/Parsons core is just a first round exit tbh.

But a team with 2 mental midgets, 1 of them being a massive choker is primed for playoff success? :lol

Yeah, one mental midget with some deep playoff runs and lead a team to the Finals. The other who was the closer against the Spurs and Mavs when the team he was on, you know the one that was actually stacked, went to the Finals. Choked on the biggest stage, but he was 21, I'll let it pass.

[dirk4mvp]

Just so we're clear that both are mental midgets and one is a massive choker :tu

The texas 3 step should be awesome. All 3 teams are playing well maybe this forum will return to the glory days of smack talk, real hoops takes and "clever" subtle trollin'

And Rocket fans need to stop being so defensive (myself included). Until they prove it in the playoffs, they shouldn't shed the choker label.

Portland is stacked as well.

They had one bad series last year. Both Howard and Harden have been successful in the playoffs on previous teams. Let's see what they do in their second year together. If they don't advance this year, then that choke label can really be applied.

I'm talking about the Rockets organization. Being past the 1st round once since the 90's is old. Verry old and it is indicative of management.

I would love to see a Mavs vs. Rockets playoff matchup this year.

That matchup in 2005 was fun to watch besides game 7.

[Bulaien999]

Rolling 20 deep to rockets vs mavs on the 22th

It's going to be nice

[Franklin]

Parsons in the 3rd quarter last night was playing at superstar level, dude single handedly kept us afloat, I still don't know why RC subbed him out when he was damn hot. I think dude just needs to play with more confidence and a stronger sense of responsibility, just like Dirk said this season is on him.

[Roxsfan]

That was probably our worst game of the season. Enjoy it while it last.

I was surprised at that stomping tbh

[Roxsfan]

You're trying too hard. We get it, you hate the rox. STFU now

We match up horribly with the Blazers. Aldridge owns Dirk.

[Bill_Brasky]

Basically every game he got shit on. Dirk/Monta/Parsons core is just a first round exit tbh.

Well when you allow Aldridge to iso in the post against literally any smaller player you have and never adjust, you tend to get shat on and let him have a career series.

[Franklin]

We shouldn't have assigned dirk to guard Aldridge imho. Dirk was pretty much worn out at the defensive end through the first half that was why he sucked ass offensively in the 2nd half, which cost us the game. Maybe we should try starting Aminu or RDJ, moving Parsons to 4 and Dirk to the bench so we'd have a fresh-legged Dirk owning the opponents' 2nd unit. Dirk's better suited for a 6th man role at this point of his career, he ain't Tim Duncan imho.

[GuerillaBlack]

He had two career games and then came back down to earth. Rockets lost because Harden disappeared for four games and Parsons/Lin played like garbage 90% of the time. They let LMA get away with a lot of push offs too that they started calling against SA.

Gotta disagree. Rockets lost primarily due to McHale not double teaming Aldridge at all in the first two games. They had the lead in a few 4th quarters and lost because of team defense. Harden didn't show up on offense nor defense, he was assisting and setting up others.

[Franklin]

Blazers before new year look just great like the Spurs but when the playoffs begin they'll once again turn out to be first round fodder.

Dirk needs to start. Just play him less minutes in the first half.

[mavsfan1000]

Some serious blowouts lately. Our offense can be incredible on some nights.

[Robz4000]

Spurs/Mavs WCF for the chip

[Kyle Orton]

Best offense in nba history imo

[TampaDude]

Wow...Lakers getting fucking worked by the Mavs...

[Franklin]

And we're only becoming better offensively with Parsons adapting to our system gradually.

[Stalin]

nice lakeshow beatdown

[sook]

I called it Frank. I told you guys that your offense would take a big step forward. Someone actually prematurely ejaculated calling the signing stupid but I bet he feels differently now. Tomorrow might be a repeat of tonight TBH.

[Franklin]

Gotta thank the Lockets for letting him walk, 15m/yr well spent tbh. It's not good news for men in Dallas though (except my nigga Jacob, of course, it doesn't matter to him at all :lol), because they now have to face double threat of being cuckolded by either of the Chandlers.

I credit our centers as the result of our improvement. But it's nice Parsons is in a good rhythm lately.

you mean every rocket fan on st besides yourself tbh?

I watched Chandler Parsons when he was a Gator...worth every penny, IMHO.

[LkrFan]

Mavs look good.

[Franklin]

agree TC also makes enormous contributions to this team tbh, he & Dirk complements each other perfectly. But I don't think TC has much to do with our improvements at the offensive end, at least he doesn't make much direct impact on our offense imho.

Key word: SOME

Always annoying to play a serious rival on the second day of a back-to-back. We kept it close. But just not good enough. We can do better.

[SPM]

Yeah....... 3 games in 4 nights will do that to ya.......... Lol Dirk 0-8 from 3 and Monta 7-21. Settled for jump shots all night, tired legs.

Stop with the excuses.

Youre right...... The back to back and 3 games in 4 nights had nothing to do with it. Dat Rockets D made Dirk shoot poor and Monta miss layups.

Had Mavs won it wouldn't of mattered...... Until teams are at full strength.

Missing free throws in the final minute and Parsons getting abused on D had a lot more to do with it than tired legs.

lol Parsons playing hot potato with the ball when he had a wide open was funny. Point is Dallas didn't look right all night. A win is a win

Wow really. A game where Dirk played 21 minutes and no other Mavs starter played over 30 minutes. A game where the starting Rockets front court was out and then the starting PG went out in the 4th. Excuses, excuses.

[Sean Cagney]

Mavs looking very good this year.

BS. He just wanted to get paid. Frankly, he didn't gaf who paid, as long as he got paid. He got the cash, and he is gone. Fuck him. Great to see him lose his first against Houston in Houston.

Can't blame him for getting paid. The reason why Rockets fans aren't fond of him is for the shots he took after getting paid. The reason why Mavericks fans are getting tired of him is because he is tweeting about getting pizza hut the day after he is made a fool against his former team.

bump

we stacked once again boys

[monosylab1k]

Too bad they’re really not in a good position to make any trades. They’re one more 3&D guy away from being contenders. But the goal this season was to compete for the 8 seed, and they’re already way ahead of pace.

[FkLA]

lol one move away from contenders

[horseshue]

These blowout wins are hurting Luca's MVP chances.

Yeah, plus this next FA sucks. Gonna maybe have to wait until 21 or see if donnie can pull off a 3 team trade or something

[Dirks_Finale]

Carlisle for COY? At the beginning of the year I heard everyone saying 8 seed at best for the Mavs. If they finish top 4 he gets serious consideration.

But i don't like how Porzingis has been turned into Matt Bonner for us. He really needs to be utilized better.

[Ghazi]

Staaaaaacked

[endrity]

Carlisle is an all-time great, and we really should be praising him a lot more. The man is a genius at adjusting lineups and hiding weaknesses. He was doing the same since Dirk's prime. I am happy the Mavs never got rid of him during these lean years.

I don't think bigs and 3-and-D is what the Mavs need. We need an extra creator/ball-handler. Luka is either overdoing it, or there is simply on one else the coaching staff trusts. But he is handling the ball wayyyyy too much for us to have success in the playoffs. In fact, I think CP3 would be a huge asset to this team.

I hope the young wings they have collected continue to grow and progress, to become important assets for another important trade down the road.

They have another creator/ball handler, they’re just saving him for the playoffs. I’d bet Barea takes Brunson’s minutes come playoff time.

They need more defense and another shooter to be title contenders
