Thoughts on our beloved Mavs tonight

[lurker]

lol, Mark and Kidd are pissy.

There's a debate going on, one that will likely last for a while, about who got the better end of the Devin Harris-for-Jason Kidd deal - the Nets or the Mavericks?

With just over two minutes left in the Nets' 121-97 win over Dallas Friday night at the Meadowlands, Nets fans shouted out their answer.

"Thank you, Cuban! Thank you, Cuban!" they chanted.

Harris had just left the game after scoring 41 points and dishing out 13 assists. Kidd had 17 points, seven assists and four rebounds.

One game in December may not put an end to the argument. But perhaps Harris' season-long dominance is the best indication of what the Nets received and what Dallas gave up. He went into the game averaging 23.8 points, sixth in the league.

After the game, I asked Kidd if he heard the chants about Cuban and he responded, "When they were talking about his dancing?"

Moments later, someone asked a follow-up question about that topic and Kidd said, "What's that got to do with me? You answer that question. Ask Cuban. Did you ask Cuban? Ask him."

So we did. And here's what the Mavericks owner said:

"I guess when you don't care about your own team you talk about someone on the other team, right? I guess that's what Nets fans are all about...I think the goal of everybody in New Jersey is to be a general manager. So I can understand why they want to share their expertise."

Then calling it a "single game," Cuban said he has no regrets about the deal and that he's not surprised at how well Harris has played for the Nets.

"No. They built the offense around him. The kid can score. That's what he does," Cuban said. "When he's like that he's very comparable to Allen Iverson. That's the way he's playing. He deserves a lot of credit; he's a great kid. But he just fills a different role than we felt we needed when we made the trade. We have a lot of scorers. We have a lot of shooters. So it's different. We don't run an offense where he would just dominate the ball. It is what it is."

I have to admit, being from New Jersey, I wanted to smack Cuban when he took a couple of jabs at fans from the state. But I have to give the guy credit, he's a good sport and obviously keeps things in perspective.

"Everybody's a general manager," he said. "But as long as people are having fun at the game, that's more important."

[Brickhouse]

Cuban is a that will never admit it. Why even bother with that. Just take a look at his face at the game...looked exactly like his expression after game 6 in GS.

"We have a lot of shooters"

HAHAHHAHAHAHA. Yeah that explains why Dirk and Jet have to carry the entire offensive load b/c you have incompetents like Erica and Breath who can't even handle the ball out there, and the second coming of Jerry Brickhouse in JHo.

[Roxsfan]

I'm disgusted. I know NJ shooting that well from behind the arc is an anomaly, and I know good teams lose to lottery teams here and there, but you will NEVER find a contending, elite team lose by 24. It just doesn't happen!

I don't think.

Bleh, very pissed about this loss. We need to bounce back against Washington/Memphis and then split @ Utah/@ Portland.

It's clear that this teams' talent level is not good enough to win a le... I know I know, most people have seen this for a while now.

We need a trade.

SOMEONE CHEER ME UP

all those arrogant s on Dallas-mavs.com--crying on the game thread--they're all going to commit suicide.

, Harris,Mac's Cuz, and the Nets ripped the mavs 12 new assholes per each player and coach tonight

[Ghazi]

I dunno what you just said, but I am crying on here, and there

But enough crying for tonight, for tommorow is a brand new day.

God willing our Mavs make a trade soon... and if not, I will suffer with them

Devin Harris, T-Mac's cousin-Vince Carter, and the rest of the NETS ripped the mavs players and coaches 12 new assholes each. (instead of just getting ripped a new one, they got ripped 12 new ones)

that was one violent ass whooping.

[Indazone]

I have only one thing to say to all the Mavsfans and a special shoutout to Mono.

[sribb43]

Anyone remember the last time J-Ho dunked the ball...was it in the 06 playoffs?

[Shank]

You know what I'd love to see happen?

Absolutely nothing.

I'd love to see this same roster play out the entire season and for Donnie/Mark to continually praise the fake hard work and efforts of this team. Then, when the Mavs end the season 40-42, they can all put on their replica jerseys and blow their ing brains out against the office walls. THEN, maybe they'll bring someone in that's not attached to the players as though they were their girlfriends and someone can shake up the rot on this roster.

Dirk stays. Terry stays. Kidd, if not able to get something back for that expiring, stays. Everyone else? Get ed in Oklahoma City or with the Clippers for the rest of your ty careers.

Oh, and Breath? He has the same clause as last year. That piece of isn't going anywhere unless he checks off on it.

[j-money24]

j-blunt smokes a blunt everytime before the game starts.
that is something the beloved mavs enjoy.

Did you think your song and dance and your supers ion would help you, Eli? I am the Third Revelation! I am who the Lord has chosen!

[Indazone]
