goodnight guys it was fun. can't wait for next thursday when tony parker goes for 60.
I know the Mavs lost, but how was the leadership?
Good. Kidd led them to a great ass kickin
They showed a lot of mental toughness out there. Unfortunately, we don't have Oscar Robertson at point guard or Bill Russell at center anymore, we traded them to New Jersey. What are we, 35-19 now? I predict a 35-47 finish. Worst trade ever.
yeah, he looms off the bench when he's not supposed to
I like adam8065. One of the best Spurs fans.
Chris Paul hung 33 on Devin the last time the two teams played in NOLA. Ask Baron Davis and Dwyane Wade if Devin can guard them.
yeah, and we're the ones that are overly sensitive, right?
Priceless
And they just got Bonzi and Mike James. If they weren't before, they're a serious contender now. Absolutely unbelievable how the West has ten very good teams and the East has only 4. There's about four teams with legitimate le hopes that are going to be done after the first round.
So basically, Chris Paul was just beating a team he was supposed to beat?
Well, I'm a Mavs fan, so my at ude towards the playoffs is more along the lines of Fear and Loathing.

He tried to shoot some shots on us.
I actually did watch the game and it certainly looked liked Kidd's first game. It seemed like he was trying to hard to get his team-mates involved instead of just playing his normal game. Kidd is a great player so it's only a matter of time before he gets the hang of things but the Mavs biggest problem is in the middle and with the west getting bigger they traded for a point-guard and will pay the price for it. I mean if they end up winning it all then hats off to 'em but i don't see it happening. Not this year.
Have you bunch of morons even taken a look at the standings ?, the spurs and mavs are separated by 1 game... Spurs can miss the playoffs as easily as the mavs can. Nothing is written in the west this year, every thing's up for grabs.
Also, you might want to talk about kidd's failures here after a few more games and a few more practices. he's practiced once with the team, so don't be so quick to dismiss this trade...
The "hole" in the middle is Diop's 17 minutes per game. He was in Avery's doghouse and wasn't playing much anyway. We got no offense from the center position at all with him and that was part of the problem with Devin out after that bone bruise. We were playing 3 on 5 when it came to offense. No doubt he can play defense and block a shot or two, but the Mavs made this trade because of how ty our offense was going, and Diop wasn't part of the solution there, he was part of the problem. And the only reason Jersey insisted on including him in the trade was because of his expiring contract.
As far as missing the playoffs goes in relation to this trade...if it hadn't gone done, the Mavs would still be without Harris for another 2 weeks. They still may have fallen out of the playoffs and looked much worse doing so. I'd much rather have Kidd in here at a time where you can make some moves in the standings than continue to see the mess that was the Barea/Terry PG mess.
You realize a Mavs fan started this thread right?
Who got Bonzi and Mike James?
EDIT: NVM i just saw the rumor
