Mailing it in.
It deserved its own thread. What a string of gutless performances.
So is Frau Dirk just in a funk or is this some kind of "mailing it in" response to the astic team around him?
Discuss.
Mailing it in.
His teammates didn't really help him, the spurs are sending the house every time Dirk touches the ball
they only reason we lose this game is just we don't want to beat a weak spurs team that has Duncan and Manu both sidelined.
mavs are deeply disappointed with the absence of Duncan and Manu.
At least he has his sidekick in Kidd...another no show against a playoff bound team. What a surprise. Color me shocked.
And JHo, our smart, beloved Jho.
Who's the next scrub that will outplay Dirk? Malik Allen tommorrow night.
At least this reinforces one thing we all already knew.
Oberto > Garnett
I'm probably knee jerking when I say Dirk's mailing it in. Just like some knee jerked early in the year when Dirk struggled.
But he's not getting to the line, and he's not taking as many shots as he should with Terry out. i could live with an 8-23 performance with 6-7 FTA's, atleast he's taking shots... if they dont fall they dont fall. I dont have the statsin front of me, he took less than 15 shots tonight and didn't get to line often. Maybe the Spurs D is that good, i dunno.
Hasn't really played well since the All Star break. Is he aware of the team's mediocrity and has no desire to play on a mediocre team? Part of me cannot blame him, after getting cheated out of a 2006 championship and followed up with the heartbreak of Golden State. But the other part of me is agitated.![]()
JJ Barea treads a thin line between helping the team with his outstanding ballhogging skills, and hurting the team. Tonight he hurt them big time.
Dirk knows he's not getting any help until 2010, why should he waste the effort? Just stay fresh until Wade, Bosh, and Joe Johnson all sign with Dallas.
JJ Barea and Josh Howard will have decent scoring nights here and there, but make too many braindead and boneheaded plays. i can't fault Barea, dude's short but he at least he gives effort. Drawing some O fouls despite his defensive deficiencies.
Howard, I guess it's to be expected that he's a braindead player. That would be fine if he was 23, but he's 28. He's a veteran, and he plays like a dumbass. I hope his ass is gone this offseason. Again I love our beloved Mavs.
Maybe in' Carlisle should have done the same thing on TP..what a in waste of a coach
Josh Howard leaving the team is addition by subtraction. I don't know how many times I can say that before some of you believe it.
Watching JHo play makes me want to murder puppies.
Apparently Fabricio Oberto is such an offensive powerhouse that they can't afford to double team Parker ever.
Also, there's nothing that makes me laugh more than watching the Mavs switch on every screen like some JV high school team, and seeing JJ Barea on Kurt Thomas while Brandon Bass watches Parker blow by him.
Dirk will get owned by Charlie V tomorrow night.
What a great rationalization!!!

When Oberto scores more than 2 points on your team, you know your defense blows.
For all the talk that Carslile was a good defensive coach in Indiana and Detroit (partially true), his current team can't stop anybody.
PHX does the same thing...wasnt it fun watching Nash getting roasted by Pierce on sunday. Teams that switch typically are poor defensive teams, i.e. Mavs and Suns
Yao will probably sign with the Mavs too.
Donnie has already said that the LOCKER-ROOM AMENITIES is one of the perks that he knows will attract all the stars.
JJB takes too many in shots...that guy either shoots or turns the ball over. In other words he has been watching too muany J-Ho video
ehh dirk had a bad night. it happens. he's usually on fire vs spurs, i'll take it.
Agree. The midget always teeters a very close line between "fearless" and "brainless ball hog"
the midget either drives it to the basket for a shot or kicks it out to the other team for a steal
We need the Donnie Nelson troll to tell us what he thought of his boys in blue tonight...
