If this is true, then his minutes are being seriously mismanaged by Avery Johnson. Running your players into exhaustion is just plain poor coaching.
I haven't watched enough mavs games to know, how much trust does Johnson have in his bench?
Great take
your takes are always awesome, keep up the good work![]()

BTW, Pippen's defense >>>>>>>>>>> Howards, it's not even close. We are talkign about one of the best perimeter defender of all time vs. a potential top-tier defensive forward in the game today.
If you think that way than Pippen is one of the most overrated defenders of all-time.He was a solid defender though but no Bruce Bowen.
I think you haven't seen Pippen play, Pippen was as good as, or better than, Bowen, Cooper, Moncrief, Payton, or any other perimeter players. He got great lateral quickness and long arms, so it is almost impossible to drive past him, yet he has the length and strength to defend the post if larger players (see 91 Finals) try to post him up, he also plays the passing great superbly
There is not one thing Pippen could not do defensively on the perimeter.
I don't remember Pippen ever being stupid enough to call a time out when his team had none left at the end of a game, much less a finals game.
I could respond with "Six rings, no rings" smack but I'll save that for after the Spurs win two more.
Sorry I disagree. THe bulls were so great because Jordan was unstoppable and Pippen complimented his game very well. Pippen was not great at anything but he had no weaknesses. He was a solid scorer, defender, and rebounder and ran the floor well on fast breaks. Jordan was just as good of a defender as Pippen was as well. Jordan>>>>Pippen.
Are you not contradicting yourself?
And also, no one ever said that Pippen >>>> Jordan.
I also don't even remember Pippen calling out to the league that someone is out wanting to sprain his ankles.
Josh didn't do that in the Finals, he did that in college. He called their last timeout in the Finals which made them have to bring the ball the length of the court. He's a mutton-head.

No I'm not. Pippen is getting highly overrated. He was riding Jordan's coattail along with some other solid players the bulls had like Rodman and etc.
It must be said again.
I was a huge bulls fans in the 90's. Try again. Put Josh Howard with Jordan and something special would happen.
I'm sorry but now your overrating Josh Howard. Put Josh Howard with Jordan and Jordan has about three rings. Josh Howard couldn't hold Pippens Jock strap.
Although their games are somewhat similar, I do not see how anyone could make the statement that Howard is a Pippen clone. Howard is a very good player, but hasn't proven to be in Pippen's class yet. The Mavs have to win at least a ring or two before he can even be considered.
Howard stated that Pippen would be No.1 on another team without Jordan.
Howard couldn't be No.1 on another team. He's just not that good.
He manages to make a couple of shots here and there, but overall, he's pretty weak.
The LeBron/Jordan, Dirk/Larry Bird comparisons have been the stupidest ideas I've ever heard.
The only comparison that comes close is Kobe to Jordan.
Something special, like Howard wasting a crucial timeout in a championship-determining game?
Ginobili can take over an entire game.
Josh Howard can't do anything without Dirk Nowitzki by his side.
3>0, enough said.
And Ginobili has how many nba rings w/o Duncan by his side?
He's got an olympic gold medal, beating Tim Duncan. How many mavs did the same?
Why limit it to nba championships? Let's open it up to all sorts of compe ions... I mean, if you're good, your resume probably has many les and championships... Olympic Gold Medals, Euroleague championships, multiple MVP awards, NBA rings...
The only thing Howard has in his resume is one All Star Game appearance: That's the only similarity he has with Manu.
None, but I do know the Spurs never beat the Phil-Shaq-Kobe Lakers or won three in five years until Ginobili showed up.
As for Dallas, lost without Howard and Howard arrives and they still lose![]()
