He chose Phoenix.
Phoenix would be dead without him signing with them in March. He is killing Dallas, had 26 pts so far( Six three pointers).
Spurs could have used him this year.
When Kurt Thomas got hurt Suns told him he'd get lots of playing time so he went with them. Otherwise he likley would have signed with the Spurs. I'm still pissed.
Cause, he said
"Im signing with Phoenix"
Any more gems senor jinx?
He fits better in Phoenix and he knew that.
He refused to consider the Spurs because he knows Pop can't coach.![]()
They tried.
Dirk Nowitzki doesn't whine after foul calls.
One of the regrets of the season, in my opinion. I don't know how seriously the Spurs looked at it, but Thomas felt he had more oppty. to play in PHX.
No...just when they DON'T call them on every trip.
wellOne of the regrets of the season, in my opinion
if he chose phoenix and the Spurs went after him, there IMO is no regrets.
Can't talk a guy into it.
Dirk got called for a foul? When?!
Tim Thomas has been the Mavs MVP so far...
Game 2 - Walks thru the Mavs huddle like a thug when the Suns had control of the game...Mavs completely turn it around and blast them the rest of the way
Game 5 - Thomas calls Dirk a pussy and blows him a kiss just before halftime...Dirk blows up in the 2nd half and outscores the Suns by himself in the 4th quarter. Dirk outscored Thomas 29-0 to end the game...
The Mavs also feed off his gay hand gesture after he hits a shot...ie, see the Rockettes lame hand gesture in last year's playoffs...
I am a jinx.
TT had 0 pts after my post.

Funny, I thought the Dallas halftime adjustments, failure by PHX to run and their failure to exploit the Diaw/Marion matchup with Diop out on the floor were the primary reasons Dallas won.
Thomas' 6 threes weren't too shabby last night.
I think Pop was a halftime consultant for Phoenix.
Because you can't see him.

Dude has too much "dog" in his game. He can be a superstar one minute and a scrub the next.
Spurs did all they could to get him. Even trade to make a trade with the Bulls for him before he was released.
Oh well. Should have signed someone like Matt Barnes, Noel Felix, Chuck Hayes, Theron Smith or any other number of decent long threes/power forwards to matchup with Dirk.
Don't forget Maurice Evans. Spurs could have signed him before Detroit snagged him.
Tell me why Finley picked SA instead of Miami huh?
That's it. He's playing for his next contract and has stepped up huge in the PO's. He would have been buried on the Spurs bench at 15-18min/game; if that.
Spurs wanted him, but it was a better situaton once KT went down.
Actually he would have ended up getting a ton of playing time for the Spurs and it likley would have guaranteed him and the Spurs a berth in the finals. But he and the Spurs wouldn't have known that he'd end up with all that playng time when he signed with the Suns.
SIgning Thomas for next year still wouldn't be the Spurs worst option.
at Manny and the parrots!
