Avery still likes for Dallas to play into the hands of their opponent... case in point, playing small ball against a small ball team.
in other words, he never learned his lesson.
Avery only played Damp for a measly 12 minutes? Does he realized it led to us getting outrebounded by ing Golden State? Not to mention he had a +/- rating of +10 when in the game (although a lot of that was attributed to the hot start they had, but still). There is no reason we should have gotten outrebounded by those guys.

I think I counted about three times where Baron Davis got an offensive rebound while surrounded by 4 blue shirts.
The thing is, all of this is going to get swept under the same 'We are missing Dirk' rug.
This is something I pointed out when Dirk got injured. Nobody will remember that Dallas was sucking big time since the trade, way before Dirk's injury.
Yea, there was one in particular i saw in the second quarter where he got a rebound and a putback, and no one bothered to do crap.
actually, i havent heard any excuses for this team despite dirks absence. they are still losing games that they should be winning.
and if they are playing this badly without Dirk, it shows just how awesome of a player that Dirk really is, and should earn him some more respect. it also proves that it was his teammates the past several years that let the team down, far more than Dirk ever did. these guys (except for once in a while Terry and Stack) can never seem to deliver when the team needs it most. their only chance at anyone making big shots these days is for Dirk to find a way to shed a double team, or to hit a crazy 3 over like three guys, because no one else will hit anything, even despite him drawing the double team and finding the open man.
Interestingly enough, outside of Dirk the person who has mostly benefited from Kidd and his style of play is Dampier. I've never seen Dampier running so hard back on offense and catching slick passes from Kidd for easy transition baskets. They should run the uptempo game a lot more than they do.
And Mav fans are highly overating the effect of Terry and Stack on the team. In fact, I'll go as far to say that those two players are a big part of the reason why I never think of the Mavs as serious contenders. You can always count on either of them to take a bad shot, lose their cool, or mess up on defense in the clutch. They are not reliable players or even good role players.
Terry & Howard cannot be on the team next year. I don't care what we get for them, they have to be gone from the team.
Really? You must have missed the constant crapping on them all year long.
Avery has no clue still. His lineups are never consistent. How can they ever develop chemistry when he changes it all the time. Even before Dirk's injury the lineup was always fluctuating. Unbelievable. Does anyone know why Stackhouse wasn't playing?
Stack was hurt and not in uniform.
not that he would have determined whether we won or not...but for stack not to step up and play through and injury when the team is missing Dirk and playing a team that is right there with them for the final playoff spots, tells me alot about Stack and his lack of toughness that he is so often praised for
oh ya and not playing Damp last night is nothing new...at least avery is consistent in is inability to coach
that sounds like "just blow it up".
what do you do after the smoke clears? any "feasible" thoughts?
how is that? I didn't say anything about Dirk or Kidd. You think trading away some secondary players who aren't getting the job done is blowing it up?
Stack missing would've helped us except Terry was having a bad shooting game in his place. About time we give Wright a chance to start. He is the only that isn't one-dimensional unlike Stack and Terry. Also I agree that Dampier should've been playing but it was an extremely difficult defensive assignment having to guard Harrington on the perimter.
I was referring to Stretch's post in which he claimed that Terry and Stack were the only ones that sometimes claim thru in the clutch for the Mavs when it's the opposite.
dirk is jumpshooter. kidd looks like a deer in the headlights, lately. i didn't see last nights game, but i've seen him afraid to shoot in others, which is strange for a guy who seemed to have nerves of steel.
kidd and dirk would be great if they had teammate that played in the paint. it couldn't be just any player. he'd have to be a beast for it to benefit kidd and dirk.
who is going to give us that or how in the do we get there?
Yup, can't disagree with that. I was just answering another poster asking about Stack's whereabouts though.
Stack hit a buzzer beater earlier this year. Terry has hit several clutch shots for this team in his tenure here. But that was in the past, they've been spares for the most part this season.
You didn't watch the Mavericks before this season, did you?
Stack & Terry have been awful for most of this year, but they came through big many, many times before this season. Nobody expected this big of a drop-off by both of them.
They don't hustle? Stackhouse *isn't* a good passer? Mother er, have you ever seen Stackhouse play? He's not the ballhog his rep makes him out to be. His passing ability has what has made him so dangerous throughout his career.
They've been spares this season, but they've brought more to this team than "just scoring" in the past.
Avery has no clue what he is doing, He better be fired in the offseason...
and they have at times, especially more in the past. but lately, more often than not, they are the ones messing up.
i think you completely misunderstood/misread my post, which shouldn't be suprising to me.
Hmm... sounds like Tony Parker. Good for his speed/driving ability, but cant shoot, cant defend, average passer at best, too small to hustle, etc...
