his defense on dirk was sloppy... the fouls in the beginning were bs but his defense later on was definitely sickening.
Not being used correctly, 1st half slump or is he just done?

He's a bench player now..
He had 2 critical misses..the open J he missed when we needed momentum down the stretch + getting blocked by ing Dirk Nowitzki at the rim a few plays later..
LOL @ people criticizing a bunch of us for saying our frontcourt isn't good enough to win ..it's pretty clear that we need a legit big..McDyess can't start anymore and Blair isn't anywhere near starter-caliber at this point of his career..
btw, I wouldn't have wanted 'Sheed instead before people say that, he's a bench player too..
How I feel about McDyess so far.
How should he be used?
If Dice wants his ring, he needs to play for it. It seems like his heart is still in Detroit.
I was baffled at the excitement most expressed on this forum when we signed Dice, he's a bench player, like that of Matt Bonner. When RJ guards Dirk with more tenacity than Dice, something's wrong.
McDyess was benched after every foul. Never got into a rythem and I'm getting a little sick of these defensive pick and roll rotations that seem to leave at least one Spur out to dry.
My only defense for Dice right now is that he's not playing with a lot of intensity. I'd prefer he'd turned it on about 10 games ago but for whatever reason he's still just cruisin. I understand anyone's criticism and low expectations at this point but still believe he's got some good basketball left in him.
towel boy?
If you'd been watching what he did at the end of last season as a starter for Detroit you'd know why peole are high on him. He had a couple of 20+ rebound games and was scoring. That McDyess has yet to suit up for the Spurs and no one's more pissed about it than me.
my initial fears about giving him a multi year ml deal this off season have come true. he just cant bring it a very high level anymore consistently
Sounds good.
He still looks lost...or he lost his aggression.
He's old. That's all there is to it. He can't bring it like he used to.
Dice is not much of a defender at his age. It wasn't even worth signing him. The spurs would still be where they are now with or without him. Anybody who thought Dice was going to be the saviour in the paint is kidding themselves.
refs... and Dyess has never been known as some great defender. he just had quite a few untimely fouls tonight.
He sucked tonight, point blank. That said, the Spurs didn't create even one open shot for him. I blame him for his bad defense. Offensively, I think the team shares a lot of the blame.
at this point, what ever little offense he provides isn't worth the Spurs getting scorched on the defensive end.
McDyess is automatic from mid-range..that's his specialty..players that have such specialties are much better suited for the bench..McDyess can be a high-end bench player, one of the better bench bigs in the NBA, but in no way can he be a starter at this point..
It's similar to Bonner..his flaws won't be exploited if he's going up against other bench players or just playing an amount of minutes that would be suitable for a bench big..
And for that, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. My main problem with his play...is not that he can't get that much talked about "automatic J" going but that he looks lost on rotations, and seems to lack effort.
Dice sucked ass tonight.
Bad game does not a season make.
The first two games against Dallas Dice was fantastic.
short term memories as always here.
This was just a bad game in a series of bad games...call it a slump. There's no way that I'm giving up on this guy after less than half a season.
I seem to recall Dice being the best defender on Dirk in at least one of the last two games (even blocking him straight-up on one possession).
