2007-2008 season

[SpursDynasty]

Which game is everyone looking forward to the most?

Phoenix and Dallas are old news...The game I'm most anticipating is February 10. Boston. Maybe KG and Allen and Pierce can make the NBA a competitive league again and become the league's second superpower. I haven't forgotten about Miami at full strength, and Detroit has declined. But the Spurs will remain the West's lone superpower until someone else does something about that. Dallas' chance has passed them by, as has Phoenix's.

I just don't see any team in the West giving the Spurs any problems this year. Too many fake teams out there that pretend to be good (Dallas, Phoenix, Houston) then end up sucking ass.

Phoenix and Dallas are old news..

As are your posts. You're slipping...(Insert team here) is fake...Spurs will cruise easily to a repeat...You used to be so good at bringing the crazy and the funny, but now you're just boring.

We expect more out of you SD.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I think the Suns's time has passed but I still can't count Dallas out yet. Everyone knows they had matchup problems with GS and they also had Don Nelson on their side. The Mavs don't need to make any changes. Even if they meet the Warriors again I doubt they will lose since they just traded away J-Rich which contributed a lot last year. I can definitely see the series back from 06 happening again if we meet, although I do think we'll win there's a very good chance of 06 happening again. I can't talk about Houston because no one knows how they will be with all these pieces to their team. Detroit I think only has one more chance left in them. Miami and Cleveland are done.

My job was not to bring the crazy and the funny, but to defeat these delusional views that this board had during the season. Now that the season is done and all of my viewpoints played out (Dallas lost in playoffs, Suns lost in playoffs, Rockets lost in playoffs, Dwight Howard and LeBron are overrated, Golden State is better than Dallas, Spurs finish at the top), there is no correction in delusional thinking to be made here. The playoff results don't lie and neither did I.

Greg Oden will get kicked out of the NBA on opening night.

I just want the damn season to start already.

I really miss it this year, I'm not sure why. But it seems like forever since we won and forever before the season tips.

Dwight Howard and LeBron aren't overrated. Houston, Phoenix and Dallas are all going to be formidable challenges to San Antonio next year. Nobody among the Spurs fanbase was arguing the Spurs were definitely going to lose in the playoffs to those teams, so you didn't prove shit.


Greg Oden will get kicked out of the NBA on opening night.

Ah, this is more like it. Oden is going to be a force in this league for a long time to come. So he's gonna get schooled by Timmy in his debut. BFD.

How are the Suns done? Explain that one. Nash isnt done yet. To say that Dallas is in better position than the Suns is comedy. if anything I expect the Suns to be motivated with a chip on their shoulder. That team has heart and a never quit attitude. It is hard to say the same about Dallas who just bent over and took it right up the asshole in game 6 vs Golden State.

JRich was nice for that team but he wasnt the main poison for dallas. It was B-Diddy and Jax. Now that they have Wright this still forces Irk to guard someone which is bad news for the Mavs. GS still have the guys to shut Irk down in Jax/Barnes. The Mavs biggest need was a player who can score in the paint and they didnt fill that need. Teams who live and die by the jumper NEVER win titles. I dont get how all of a sudden it is a possibility.

[Findog]

Dallas isn't the only team to ever quit in the postseason. Spurs did it against the Lakers. So your point is what exactly?

Jason Richardson for Brandon Wright means the Warriors took a major step back. Their owner is a tightwad and didn't capitalize on the momentum of the playoff run. GS isn't a threat to anybody next year.


To say that Dallas is in better position than the Suns is comedy.

Dallas is better defensively than Phoenix. I don't get how teams that don't play defense are threats to win titles. Dallas has a serious achilles heel with an undersized backcourt and no back to the basket scorers, but they've come a hell of a lot closer than the Suns and they can actually D it up. Phoenix has a tightwad owner selling off draft picks rather than addressing their biggest weakness (no bench). Nash is the only guy on that team that has what it takes mentally. They took a major step backward selling off their draft picks and exchanging Kurt Thomas and James Jones for Grant Hill and his antler ankles. Dallas is better than Phoenix period.

Your anti-Mavs bias is because you know they're the only team in the League capable of beating the Spurs and they scare you. On paper I'd say Houston has a shot now too, but unlike the Rockets, Dallas has actually gone out and done it.

[Switchman]

I don't really look forward to any regular season game over another but I am praying the Spurs get to go against the Suns again in this years playoffs with both teams at full strength for all 7 games. A WCF against Dallas would be great too.

Spurs and Heat in the finals, or a Duncan and KG showdown in the finals would be icing on the cake.

We got to see them win a title, 4 in fact, now let's see them pushed to the absolute maximum imo.

That was against a championship team and most dominant playoff team ever in NBA playoff history. The Mavs was against a non-elite team.


Your the last person who should be dogging teams moves. You still havent addressed your post game issues. Reminder...teams who live and die by the jumper (like the Mavs) DONT win titles. That has been a proven fact throughout NBA history.

[Findog]

The Golden State team Dallas faced was a 50-win team after the trade and having everybody healthy. Quitting is quitting, I thought Spurs fans were above making excuses? I guess not. Now that J-Rich is gone in exchange for a rookie, the Warriors are back to being not so hot.

As an observer and fan of the league, I can comment on whatever I please. Direct your criticism to Donnie Nelson. I'm just glad this team didn't panic and overreact to the Warrior series. I'm sure you'd love to see this team broken up and dismantled. The Mavs' FO isn't stupid enough to go into that briar patch. Considering the weak FA class and our cap situation improves next year, this wasn't the offseason to make a major move. Mavs did the right thing staying pat considering a slam-dunk move wasn't available.

Mavs cant play D worth a shit when they face the Suns. The Mavs scare me?


:drunk :drunk A team who choked in the finals and got their asses kicked in the first round dont really scare me. They finally had their big run to the finals in 06 and they couldnt get the job done. Being unable to stop Wade while true isnt why you lost that series. You blew a 13 point lead midway through the 4th quarter of that game and never recovered. You choked when you had every opportunity to have that 1 and done special season and couldnt take advantage of it. Miami then took advantage of the Mavs lack of a post game and Wade took over. The Mavs pre finals 2006 I will admit were determined but this current team is becoming a shadow of that crew. You really need to get over that fluke of a season because things have only gone downhill since.

[Findog]

The Mavs scare me?

Every post from you is Mavs-obsession. If they didn't concern you, then you'd never mention them, like the Grizzlies, Bucks or Hornets.

[Findog]

Being unable to stop Wade while true isnt why you lost that series.

Being unable to stop Wade is why we lost the series. It's really that simple.


You really need to get over that fluke of a season because things have only gone downhill since.

Are you talking about the Mavs or the 1994 Sonics? Yeah, things are really in the toilet. That's why we only won 22 games last year and finished in the lottery. Oh wait...Dirk is 29, Josh is 26, Devin is 25, Diop is 23, Jet is 30. We're going to be around for a while.

[spursreport]

13 point lead with 6 1/2 minutes left in game 3. Choking plays a factor as well.

Any team can come out motivated as hell but it doesn't do any good if you don't play the game the right way (defense). For example, Cleveland came out pumped up, motivated, ready in the Finals. That doesn't mean they played the game the right way. They still lost. Having a good attitude isn't enough to win. Talent has to be there, mostly defensively.

[SpursDynasty]

Yes, it is.

They are young, yes. They will be around for a while. They are athletic. Still, that doesn't mean they play the game the right way in the playoffs. Why there was no Dirk for Garnett trade is beyond me. As someone else said, they will be around for a while, but will also lose for all that while.

So saying that teams who live and die by the jumper wont win the title is seeing into the future or hating? I just look at the history and jumpshooting teams dont win titles. That isnt hate or trying to be a fortune teller. It is a fact. If you want to throw the "anything can happen" bullshit card at me then the Wolves have a chance of winning it all next season. If something is broke fix it. No low post game for the Mavs means they remain the same offensive team who lives and dies by the jumper which will result in another playoff exit. I just get a kick out of people who tend to think that jumpshooting teams can all of a sudden win a title.

Who on the Bulls was a back to the basket low-post scorer? And on one hand you say the Mavs can't win a title without a low-post scorer, then on the other hand you say they should've won a title but they choked it away, Miami didn't win a title so much as Dallas lost one. Pick a lane please.

[mavs>spurs2]

Not only that, but he calls the Mavs a "jump shooting team" when all of our scorers outside of Dirk are slashers, not spot up shooters. Howard, Harris, Stackhouse, etc will all take it to the rim before settling for a jumper.

[Dalhoop]

Actualy, the Mavs don't even have a "spot-up" jump shooter. The closest that we have I would think is now Jones and without seeing him play this year, he may still want to go to the rack.

Not only the Bulls teams, but the Pistons a few years ago also didn't have a "Low post player" Rasheed is more known for his jump shot then backing someone down and Ben was not even the fifth option when he was on the floor.

People like saying "Jump shooting teams don't win in the playoffs" because Charles says it on TNT so it must be true, but the truth is that every team is a jump shooting team when the shots are falling and every team is a slashing team when the shots are not falling.

When Duncan shoots his 10ft bankshot ... Thats a jump shot. When Parker cut to the rim and finds a teammate for an open shot ... Thats a jump shot.

ANYTHING other then a dunk or layup is a jumpshot ... I say no team that cannot hit a JUMP SHOT will ever win the NBA trophy. Did Bowen make a shot last year? Jump shot. Did Manu can a three last year? Jump shot. Did Duncan hit a Jump Shot? Most of hit shots are.

Please stop repeating stupid thinks that commintators say.

[Findog]

Not only that, but he calls the Mavs a "jump shooting team" when all of our scorers outside of Dirk are slashers, not spot up shooters. Howard, Harris, Stackhouse, etc will all take it to the rim before settling for a jumper.

Yeah, the guy falls into that segment of the Spurs' fanbase that is absolutely terrified of Dallas because we're the only team in the League that has been able to send them home, so he denigrates the Mavs any chance he gets. Like 29 other teams that didn't get it done, the Mavs have fatal flaws. Having said that, given our cap situation improves next year and the FA class is much stronger in 08, this was not the summer to make a major shakeup. Although now that Juwan Howard is asking out of Minny, I'd rather have him than Chris Webber. As a backup for Dirk, he is low-post scoring in the paint personified.

We ran into our own personal kryptonite in the Warriors. Up-tempo teams like GS and PHX give us problems.

[icem]

didnt appear that way against Golden State.....

[spursreport]

Slashing only does so much. It doesnt make up for the lack of a post up game. Plus when teams get real physical with the Mavs slashers, they stop slashing and revert to clanking jumpers. That is when the lack of an inside game bites them in the ass harder than ever. Oh and dont compare the Mavs situation to the Bulls. MJ was/is the best player of all time as he was able to win without a dominant bigman. That is a rare exception. Dont compare the Mavs to the Pistons either. Sheed had the strength to play down low as he did that during the later part of the finals. Plus the Pistons had a GREAT defense which is something the Mavs also lack. They are a good defensive team but nowhere near a great one. If Irk is one of their interior defenders, it doesnt really scare anyone to drive on them.

Oh and Findog it was a mix of choking and getting outplayed for the Mavs. They were in perfect position to go up 3-0 but choked away that 13 point lead. That win gave Miami new life which gave them another opportunity to expose the mavs weaknesses on both sides of the ball. Riley ball was a nightmare for that entire dallas team because they knew they were hitting the ground hard anytime they took it to the hoop. That put fear in the Mavs slashers which resulted in clanking jumpers as they were wearing down mentally and physically. Wade was also able to get any shot he wanted not just cuz the Mavs couldnt stop him on the perimeter, but they werent that great inside. When you have 1 player who cant defend worth a shit inside the paint or at all like Irk, aggressive players like Wade,B-Diddy,Amare etc are going to have alot of success getting to the hoop.

[Findog]

Oh and Findog it was a mix of choking and getting outplayed for the Mavs. They were in perfect position to go up 3-0 but choked away that 13 point lead. .

Again, pick a lane. Either Dallas gave away a title, in which case they can win as constructed, or they can't win as constructed and Miami won the title, Dallas didn't lose it. You keep contradicting yourself.

[monosylab1k]

Dallas doesn't have a spot up jump shooter? What the fuck is Jason Terry then?

Then again, I guess you have to make shots when it counts to be a spot up jump shooter.

Calling Dallas a team of slashers is laughable homer-talk. If they're slashers, they fuckin suck at it.

[monosylab1k]

didnt appear that way against Golden State.....
exactly what I was thinking. didn't appear that way in Miami either.

[SpursDynasty]

We call Dallas a jump shooting team because jump shooting is all they do. Of course all teams take jump shots, but Dallas relies on the jump shot too much.

Spurs can get their points in the paint, Dallas can't.

With Dallas on the decline and getting older, we should expect to see the Spurs repeat as champs. Their chance has passed them by, as they pass the torch to SA.

With San Antonio on the decline and getting older and not capable of repeating ever, we should expect to see Charlotte become champions. The Spurs chance at repeating has passed them by, as they pass the torch to Charlotte.

Love me some Jeff!! :lol :lol :lol

[Dalhoop]

Just so that you all know the correct stat to talk about when trying to bring the Mavs down, its Points in the paint, that is the one stat that will have the Mavs win or loose.

With the Spurs is not that important, with the Mavs it is EVERYTHING.

When the Mav win the points in the paint battle, they WIN THE GAME. The Mavs were 32-1 in those games (35-14 when loosing the Points in the Paint)... For those of you that are keeping track, that means that the Mavs had a better inside game then their opponite in 33 of the 84 games ... So much for the idea that we have no inside game.

Just to compare, the Spurs won the points in the paint in 45 games going 33-12. They suffered their other 12 losses when loosing the points in the paint battle ... It really isn't a good berometer for the Spurs, but for the Mavs, it is as good as a "W"

The best points in the paint team? Orlando, they won the inside game in 68 of the 84 games. Worst? Toronto, they won the battle in only 24 of the games last year.

[SpursDynasty]

Dallas is the worst points in the paint team. Who drives the ball inside other than Devin Harris?

We have Dirk the so-called "MVP" of the league who jacks up a bunch of shots and is just a really good shooter. That shit didn't get him through Golden State so now after losing he had to go travel the world to find himself or something.

Jason Terry just jacks up shots and happens to be a streaky shooter only on occasion. The rest of the time he throws up bricks.

Same with Jerry Stackhouse and Josh Coward. They just get the right shots to fall at the right times, making them seem better than they actually are.

I would be willing to bet that Brent Barry has more variety in his scoring than half of that Dallas team doing the same shit over and over.

With no intention of making jokes, I STILL believe 100% that 20% of Dallas' 67 wins last year came when their opponents had off nights.

I think that if there was one skill that I would want in life, that would be it.

Getting shots to go down at the right time.

Players have had very good careers and have won many championships with just that skill (Kerr is the first name that comes to mind, Horry would be a close second, though he had other aspects of his game)

I that it theat sense the Mavs have two players on their team that "Gets get shots to go down at the right time", that they are in good shape ... I think that was a complement .. Wow, thanks SD ... What you just said was that Howard and Stackhouse are about as Clutch as it gets .. If thats the definition (Getting shots to fall at the right time)

[SpursDynasty]

Thank you, thats all we are trying to say. Dirk was Clutch in one series and not in the next ... I have no problem with that.

I would like my star player to be clutch when facing all teams, but if I listed the teams that I would most often want him to be clutch against, Spurs would be on the top, followed by the Rockets ... You can go ahead and clump every other team in a different group.

Its like the Cowboys, we want them to win all the games, but more so against the Giants, Eagles and Redskins.

Clutch means making shots to help your team win. I have hardly seen that of Dirk lately. He makes shots yes, like everyone does, but not in the manner of saving the game. Although his shots do save the games sometimes, his shots don't say "THIS IS CLUTCH".

why not? who's to say that won't happen? the Colts were never going to win a championship with that roster. who are you guys to say that a team will never ever win a championship? especially after we've already been to the Finals. the Spurs won a championship in 1999 but for the next three years they failed to do so. im sure Laker fans said they were over the hill and were done. turns out they weren't. will the Mavs win 3 titles? who knows? thats the thing, you cant count a team out just because of a bump in the road. especially a team that has already shown they have the tools to win it all

why not? who's to say that won't happen? the Colts were never going to win a championship with that roster. who are you guys to say that a team will never ever win a championship? especially after we've already been to the Finals. the Spurs won a championship in 1999 but for the next three years they failed to do so. im sure Laker fans said they were over the hill and were done. turns out they weren't. will the Mavs win 3 titles? who knows? thats the thing, you cant count a team out just because of a bump in the road. especially a team that has already shown they have the tools to win it all

Colts didnt lose in the Superbowl, Spurs didnt lose in the finals, Lakers won 3 in a row and then broke up after losing in the finals in 04. I call losing in the finals/championship round in heartbreaking fashion more than just a bump in the road. All those teams lost in non-championship games (excluding the 04 lakers) The first 3 rounds is one thing to lose/fold under pressure but it is another thing to lose like the way the Mavs did in a championship round.

Hey, but they(they being,all fans incl. many mavs fans) say that about the Rockets too. B/C of the 04-05 rockets-mavs series loss and the next year with all the injuries and then this year losing again in 7 games.

The Mavs need a dominant low post scorer, and then bingo....NBA rings. Had Shaq gone to Dallas and not Miami.....bingo. Who else can you all get b/c Damp, Diop and Mbenga are not the answer.

[monosylab1k]

The Mavs need a dominant low post scorer, and then bingo....NBA rings. Had Shaq gone to Dallas and not Miami.....bingo.

Yes, but if you treat the word of Donnie Nelson and Mark Cuban as Gospel like every other pom-pom waving Mavs fan on this site, then you'd have to say "PFFFFTTTTT, the Lakers were NEVER going to trade Shaq to another Western Conference team!"

Funny how two games into the 2006 NBA Finals every Mavs fan was saying "LMAO we're so fucking glad Mark Cuban didn't want to trade Dirk for Shaq" but a few months later that got turned into "LMAO they were never going to trade Shaq to Dallas"

But for pointing out all the fallacies of the Mavericks, I'm a bad fan. So fuck it.

[SpursDynasty]

Since Dallas is on the decline, this will be a rebuilding year as the Dallas Mavs will probably look to trade off Dirk, Howard, and Terry for more badass players.

blame Cuban for that. he refused to trade Dirk out to LA for Qhaq. :bang

im still not sure if that would've done it. Miami clearly needed another superstar to get the job done which is what Wade did in the Finals. if we did a Dirk for Shaq trade, we still would've lacked a true superstar.

(you're probably the first guy on here to use the word bingo, two sentences in a row ;) )

Refusing to throw the entire team under a bus doesn't make anybody a blind homer. Like 29 other teams, the Mavs came up short this year and the year before. You keep distorting the arguments others make into convenient strawmen. I have yet to see a single Mavs fan insisting everything is okay and this team is without flaws. You don't really seem to enjoy being a Mavs fan.

Edit: I'm not saying you're a bandwagoner or a fair-weather fan, I know you have the bona fides to prove otherwise, but you portray anybody that disagrees with you as a head-in-the sand Pollyanna and you're negative way out of proportion to how this team has performed. What exactly would you have them do personnel-wise that they haven't? What dominant playmaking PG would you have them trade for? What back to the basket low-post scorer do you want them to bring in? Since you rag on this team endlessly, put on your GM cap and tell us what you would do.

SpursDynasty is STONE COLD. Memo to Cuban: Fire Donnie and get the IP address of SpursDynasty. We need to hire the sharp young brain behind this handle.

so you're saying that since the Mavs lost in the Finals instead of one round before it means that they cannot win a championship because of a one round difference? if you believe that, then i will have to disagree with you. if the Colts continually lost in the Super Bowl instead of the AFC championships, i think they would've been in the same position, no?

spursreport is a retard, I've bothered with him way too many times. He can't even keep his story straight: one minute he's arguing that the Mavs are a jump-shooting team and thus as constructed are fatally flawed to win a title. In the next breath, he says they choked away a title and Miami didn't win one so much as Dallas lost one. I wish he'd pick a lane and stick to it. He's one of those Spurs fans that prayed and prayed for somebody to take care of Dallas so the Spurs wouldn't have to face us. He only shows up on Spurstalk when the subject is the Dallas Mavericks. If the Mavs were as insignificant as he claims, then he'd never talk about them, ala the Grizzlies, Hawks, Bucks, etc. It's just fear since we're the only team that can beat San Antonio.

[BUMP]

It's just fear since we're the only team that can beat San Antonio.
im worried if we can beat anybody else.

right now San Antonio is far from my mind, i just want to be able to win a playoff series again. it would be nice if other teams grew a pair and knocked out the Spurs atleast once (Suns)

[Findog]

According to SpursDynasty, we should trade Dirk for Sean May. He's a dominant low-post back to the basket scorer. And we should get rid of spot-up shooter JET for playmaking Raymond Felton. Of course, Charlotte isn't stupid enough to make that trade, so we're fucked.

[SpursDynasty]

Dallas can't beat the Spurs in the playoffs and didn't this year. Otherwise, the Spurs wouldn't have the trophy if Dallas beat them, right?

It's not that we're afraid of Dallas, I'm just trying to downplay the significance of Dallas in the NBA right now since everyone thinks they are still the #1 contender. They just lost in the first round. Same with Houston. They just lost in the first round, and everyone is picking Dallas and Houston give the Spurs problems next year. It could take some time before some of you gain some sense back. The Spurs are headed for a 65-70 win season if they feel like it for the 2007-2008 season.

I would expect SA to run over any and all competition next year. They might get bored a few nights and accidentally drop some games, but it won't be a big deal because it will be the regular season, not the playoffs.

That's how LeBron got his 2 wins vs SA, and Dallas got their 3 wins, and Houston and Utah got their 2 wins, and Lakers got 3 wins. If the Spurs had felt like playing in those games, that's 12 more wins. Spurs would have finished 70-12.

[Findog]

Dallas can't beat the Spurs in the playoffs

That's right, Dirk's Mavs have never beaten Tim's Spurs. Who are these silly fools that keep insisting otherwise?

It really isnt fear. I love arguing with Mav fans. It is fun. I get a kick out on how a low post game isnt needed to win a championship. 2006 is over findog. The Mavs are 8-10 in the postseason since game 7 against the Spurs. A lot has changed since that day so maybe you should move on. You dont think the Mavs need a low post game and thats comedy to me. Then you claim all these teams went backwards while the Mavs are a step ahead everyone else which really doesnt make any sense. Is it really retarded to say that teams who have lost in heartbreaking fashion when a championship is on the line dont recover? Look at the history especially as of late on that.

You want me to pick a lane on the 06 finals then I will. Riley ball and d-wade killed the Mavs. When Miami showed no respect to dallas, the Mavs became intimiated. That team was scared shitless to drive at Shaq and Zo because they know they would get put on their ass. Why didnt Irk want the ball on that final possession of game 6? A true leader would have demanded the ball especially with a title on the line.You will disagree and start calling me dr.phil or a fortune teller.

You must fear the Suns. You have yet to eliminate a healthy suns team in a 7 game series. Last year you beat a depleted Suns team so you really didnt prove yourself against them. When the Mavs eliminate a healthy Suns team in a 7 game series, then you can start to talk shit about them. They beat you in 2005 and if they stay healthy they can do it again.

[spursreport]

so you're saying that since the Mavs lost in the Finals instead of one round before it means that they cannot win a championship because of a one round difference? if you believe that, then i will have to disagree with you. if the Colts continually lost in the Super Bowl instead of the AFC championships, i think they would've been in the same position, no?


No the colts wouldnt of been in the same position. Dont compare the mavs to teams who actually won in the championship round and lost in the non-championship rounds to get to that point.

[SpursDynasty]

The Suns at full strength in the playoffs beat the Mavs in 2005.
The Suns lost to the Mavs in 2006 only because Amare was gone.
So the Mavs haven't really proven anything. They beat SA in 2006, but by how much? 1 point? A lucky fake fluke shit overtime win? That win doesn't mean shit.

So Dallas fans need not argue here anymore.

[Findog]

It really isnt fear. I love arguing with Mav fans. It is fun. I get a kick out on how a low post game isnt needed to win a championship.

And I love arguing with Spurs fans who equate us with the Hawks and give no respect whatsoever. Never said we couldn't use a back to the basket low-post scorer. Would love to bring in Webber or Juwan if the price is low. I would prefer to wait until next year when our cap situation is better and the FA crop is better to address that weakness.


2006 is over findog. The Mavs are 8-10 in the postseason since game 7 against the Spurs. A lot has changed since that day so maybe you should move on.

Of course it's over, and like 29 other teams, the Mavs came up short and have flaws to address.



You dont think the Mavs need a low post game and thats comedy to me.

Find the quote where I said the Mavs don't need points in the paint. While we're picking apart Dallas' weaknesses, what about better perimeter defense? We've been ripped repeatedly by Nash, T-Mac, Wade and Davis. I'd love to bring in a low-post scorer, I'd also like to get a perimeter stopper, which is more important at the moment. As constructed, the Mavs can win a title. I would feel better if we got a Bowen-like stopper (Buckner and George have failed miserably in this role), or a Sean May or Juwan Howard-type to punish up-tempo smallball teams like Golden State or Phoenix, but the Mavs have beaten a championship caliber team and made the Finals. After Golden State, it's a case now of walk before you can run, nobody is going to make the Mavs favorites to win anything next year. But this team is still young, talented and dangerous whether you want to admit it or not.


Then you claim all these teams went backwards while the Mavs
are a step ahead everyone else which really doesnt make any sense.

Where did I say that? Golden State got worse. They dumped Richardson in a salary dump and got a rookie in exchange. Brandon Wright will probably make a good pro one day, but as a rookie, will he equal or surpass what they got from J-Rich last year? I highly doubt it. Houston got better. Phoenix in my opinion took a step backward dumping Kurt Thomas and James Jones. San Antonio stood pat and when you're the champs, you can't really argue with that strategy. Denver stood pat for the most part. Utah didn't do much but they addressed perimeter shooting with Morris Almond. Am I missing anybody? The Mavs stood pat. It's a weak FA class, we're way over the cap, next year the FA crop is better and Finley and Bradley's dead money comes off the books. If next year results in another disappointing playoff finish, then I'd like to see a major shakeup. Dallas stood pat and that's the right move to make for now, aside from bringing in Webber or PJ Brown for the MLE or LLE.


Is it really retarded to say that teams who have lost in heartbreaking fashion when a championship is on the line dont recover? Look at the history especially as of late on that.

Enlighten me as to this history. Seattle recovered to make a Finals. Like a lot of teams, they were unfortunate to playing the same time as Jordan's Bulls. The Pistons overcame Isiah's bad pass against the Celtics and blowing a 3-2 lead to the Lakers in the 88 Finals. The Bulls themselves came up short so many times against the Pistons. The Spurs overcame .04 and blowing a 2-0 lead. The Rockets had plenty of disappointing playoff finishes before finally breaking through. The Heat had their 05 series against Detroit in their grip and blew it. If we go outside basketball, the St. Louis Cardinals racked up 100-win season after 100-win season and lost in heartbreaking fashion before winning one. Same with the Colts. You don't have a fucking clue what is going on inside that lockerroom. Five years from now when the history of this team is written, it may turn out that way. But you don't have any evidence to back that up. So, yes, it is quite retarded on your part to prematurely write off Dallas in this fashion.


Why didnt Irk want the ball on that final possession of game 6?

Maybe when you're triple-teamed, the right play is to pass? Nobody complained when he found Dampier underneath the basket with three heat players draped all over him to send G5 into overtime. Or what about that tough runner over Shaq to put the Mavs up by one before Bennett Salvatore bailed Wade out? That was clutch and that was "wanting it."



You must fear the Suns. You have yet to eliminate a healthy suns team in a 7 game series. Last year you beat a depleted Suns team so you really didnt prove yourself against them. When the Mavs eliminate a healthy Suns team in a 7 game series, then you can start to talk shit about them. They beat you in 2005 and if they stay healthy they can do it again

I have a healthy respect for the Suns. They're 7-5 against us with both Nash and Amare so it's not like we're their bitch. I wouldn't call the Spurs our bitch even though we took the last playoff series and have won 8 of the last 12. We can beat the Suns, they can beat us. The Spurs can beat us, we can beat the Spurs. If we apply your logic, then the Spurs have no right to talk shit about the Mavs, and we both know that's not the case.

Your original contention was that Dirk put up a fifty spot because of Amare out and Raja out/ineffective. Neither one of those guys can guard Dirk. Raja is two-guard and Amare is about as effective as a matador when it comes to "guarding" opposing players.

It was Mr. Defense Marion that got lit up.

Mavs will never win a championship.....

why not? who's to say that won't happen? the Colts were never going to win a championship with that roster. who are you guys to say that a team will never ever win a championship? especially after we've already been to the Finals. the Spurs won a championship in 1999 but for the next three years they failed to do so. im sure Laker fans said they were over the hill and were done. turns out they weren't. will the Mavs win 3 titles? who knows? thats the thing, you cant count a team out just because of a bump in the road. especially a team that has already shown they have the tools to win it all


Actually, there was some merit in that criticism/analysis. The 1999 and 2003 Spurs teams had some overlap with the starters, but those were two entirely different benches (other than Kerr). The Spurs did get younger in the interval.

I think the Mavs could win if they had the Holy Grail: a reliable low post scorer. However, how many teams in the league could say the same thing?

The Mavs are an elite team, but stuff happens. Look at the Pacers. Who really thought that they could go from a perennial EC contender to perhaps the worst team in the league in only two seasons? Sure, you might say that this is a bad example, given the circumstances (Auburn Hills brawl, Miller retires, "whitewashing" the team, etc.), but catastrophic injuries aren't anomalies. They can happen at any time in any game.

From what I can tell, Cuban is not adverse to spending over the cap, and Finley's salary drops off his books after next season. The Mavs need at least one more piece, and I think they are capable of winning it all with a premier lows post scorer. They need to act quickly, becuase it seems like the window is ALWAYS smaller than we think it will be.
