The Dice Man! Only for the reason that every time he makes a good play, I can throw down my favorite dance move. It never gets old. I swear it.
I thought you were just making a funny over the incorrect pronunciation; bummer..
And if you're throwing caution to the wind and not worried about wearing the proverbial tread off the tire, It's 'Dyess.
I don't feel the need for 'Dyess to be the starter for the whole regular season and playoff, just make sure he's fresh and ready to go when it's winnin' time.![]()

I vote for Dwight Howard.
Jacque Vaughn + Fabricio Oberto + Cash for Howard
Make it happen!
Dice
Bonner and DeJuan better off da bench
Finley.
Antonio McDyess. A larger issue than starting him is how much PT he should get. And there should never be a game where Matt Bonehead gets more PT than McDyess does. McDyess should be on the floor for most minutes when Duncan is out there.
It's turned off.
Dice for sure.
Bonner is much more useful off the bench.
Blair is foul prone and is undersized.
Ratliff is too slow and limited offensively.
Haislip and Mahinmi wear suits more than jerseys.
Men's Warehouse. Official sponsors of the DNP CD.
Dice is doing a great job and this starting 5 is beggining to look good. I hope Pop keep going with those players to start
Since we probably couldn't pry Brook Lopez from a struggling Nets team...
...McDyess is doing great.
IMO, better than anybody else the team has had since Robinson.
No brainer, Antonio McDyess.
I don't care who starts I just know that Dice needs to be finishing games.
san antonio mc dice! it makes sense all around, wait a minute.. if sheed is coming off the bench maybe dice should come off also since hes quick enough to guard the 3 and knows his former teamate like the back of his hand. and we start ratliff to keep our D in the paint. what do you guys think about dice on sheed?
did we really go after lopez?
The first, less talented but equally pussy Dirk of the Mavs...Senor Bradley
Without question, McDyess. He is the perfect compliment to Timmy, and Bonner plays much better off the Bench anyway.
Blair for two resons. First, it gives Blair more minutes which is the one thing he needs. Second, it gives McDyess more rest which is the one thing he needs.
No. I was making a justification mention that since the Spurs don't have a Lopez type player to start at C and won't have that prototypical center unless they trade for one, McDyess is the best we have at this point for the position.
But it will be interesting close to the trade deadline to see what the Net's record will be like and maybe capitalize on a situation that might occur if they decide to throw it in early for lottery picks and FA next year.
Memphis did just that and look where Gasol landed...for practically nothing.
In terms of box score listing, McDyess. In terms of on the court, Duncan (which he already is). But that's all semantics.
What's important is what the front court rotation should look like down the stretch and into the playoffs. Duncan should be playing (this is all roughly, not exact) 36-40 mpg, McDyess should be playing 28-32 mpg, Bonner should be playing 15-18 mpg, Ratliff should be playing 12-15 mpg and Blair should be the odd man out. This small ball and playing two undersized power forward's together nonsense can work against lesser teams in the regular season, but come playoff time that simply won't get it done. His role will be subtle and his statistics mostly minimal (except for blocked shots), but the Spurs aren't winning a championship without Ratliff being a key cog.
