We got a very talented team. Unfortunately, Carlisle doesn't have the right rotation out there to get the most out of this team.
It's actually gonna be a bad sign if Roddy gets burn in this series, cause that will mean we're down 2-1 and the Spurs are ahead by 13 points late in the third quarter of Game 4. That's when you'll see Roddy - when it's "time to throw against the wall and see if it will stick" mode.

I just want to know what he's thinking when he has Barea in at the 2, or Barea/Haywood in at the same time and they can't guard the p'n'r.
Beaubois-tomatic!..
Real talk though, I legitimately fear seeing Beaubois on the floor if Carlisle puts him in for rotation minutes..I love his game..the Spurs have a lot of trouble defending quick players like him(most teams in the NBA in general have a tough time defending these types in today's game, but the Spurs are poor at it in general), so I hope Carlisle holds him until next year TBH..
Beaubois next meaningful minutes will occur in late Oct/early November of this year. He and Matt Carroll are DNP-CD's for the playoff, baring a massive blow out
And the reason for that is our coach is a rookie hater. He also is very ignorant which kind of go together with many coaches. But especially ours.
I bet the more the media asks him about Roddy, the more it fuels him to never play him.
Don't forget he lost his job in Detroit over not playing Tayshaun Prince enough. Nothing new with this turd of a coach we have here.
yup. Thats really is what it seems like, as sad as that sounds.
Stevenson and Roddy need to see some time on the court. Also, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to try and get Haywood involved offensively. Hopefully we won't witness the suckfest that was the Dallas Mavericks last night, tomorrow night. We can only imagine what would happen if this team shot well for once, or even refrained from shooting themselves in the foot.
Youre a ing idiot. Beaubois started the FIFTH game of the season and Carlisle is a rookie hater?
Just another useless post from bullsfan1000, no surprises here.
Fact of the matter is Carlisle is a successful NBA coach and we're all spectators. There's probably a decent reason why Beaubois is not getting minutes.
Keep in mind Beaubois has been at his best in free flow games this year... playoffs are more about half court.
Anyway, when Kidd/Dirk shoot 10/31 and the Mavs defend the PnR like that, and ing Jefferson has a fluke ass game like that, it doesn't matter who is getting the backup PG minutes.
I would like to see Beaubois play but it's difficult the way thingsplayed out. The last time Beaubois got meaningful minutes was the OT win against the Grizzlies. Now you throw him into a playoff atmosphere?
anyway Barea wasn't too horrible yesterday anyway with a nice 3-pointer and tip pass to Haywood, and barely played.
And Roddy is one of the only Mavs that can create his own shot. He gets easy buckets.
In Carlisle we trust
I thought the Mavs did a decent job getting looks yesterday, just missed their shots and missed a lot of shots in the painted area.
The defense on Dirk wasn't much different.
I don't know who this Beaubois fella is, but the fact that he's scored 7 points per game in 12.5 ing minutes only, shot >50% from the field, >40% from 3, and had a 40 point game with a monstrously efficient stat line makes me glad that we're not seeing him.
with those sorts of numbers, there's strong indication that he could be a star player in the league in 3 to 5 years, under the right coaching/development, though.
Might turn into the new Ginobili once Gino is retired. Drafted low like ginobili (though not quite 57th), international, slasher that can score ultra efficiently. He sounds a lot like a Ginobili jr. minus the wiles/veteran I.Q. at the moment (duh, he doesn't have the years of experience yet) to me.
For your JJ Barea at the 2 turd, I double down with RMJ getting minutes at all for us. It was good enough to see a DNP-CD right next to Bogans.
We all have our complains. I still think this series will be decided by the top, experienced players and their production. There might be a small lift here and there from a newbie (like Roddy or Blair, when given a chance), but overall, I expect both coaches to go to their more experienced lineups as the pressure mounts on every game.
Rick should take some notes from Scott Brooks on rooks.... Brooks isn't afaid to play Ibaka who brings spurts of energy to the team. While I think Roddy can't get alot of PT in the playoffs, Rick should give him a chance and if he fails them pull him but sitting his ass next to Matt Carroll is ridiculous
I can't argue with that. I don't think Roddy deserves a ton of minutes, and he isn't some secret weapon we're sitting on, but what is Barea doing to deserve those 9-14 minutes that Roddy doesn't? You have to at least give him a try at some point to see if he can help in this series. If he doesn't do anything, quickly yank him and then that's that.
I could understand if this was Mo Ager we are talking about but it's Roddy freakin' Buckets
Don't worry. When Dirk is about done, Roddy will get his minutes and score a lot of points on an old team that is no longer a threat.
If the Mavs lose this series and Carlisle is so stupid that Roddy doesn't see one meaningful minute on the court, that is a fireable offense as far as I'm concerned.
Why are you so ing spastic about Roddy's usage? Carlisle knows the team better than you do, which you have to admit. It's clear that you've concentrated all your opprobrium on his distrust of Roddy, but do you really believe playing him considerable minutes will make a big change?
Dirk says Roddy has been impressive in practice and said he wanted Roddy to play. Carlisle is just ignorant.
Agreed. I thought he should have seen the last 2 minutes of the half last game. Mavs were likely to head into the half, down double digits. Why not give it to Roddy, let the kid run wild just to test the waters? What would the difference have been? Mavs down 14 instead of 12? Or, to the other side, he gives a spark, picks up the crowd and some momentum and the team has a chance to believe they can come back from a 6-8 point deficit and the Spurs start thinking about how they adjust if he's put back in the game later.
Obviously, the kid isn't French Jordan. But we all know what he can do and how he can change the landscape of a game. Rick is playing this series very tightly, very close to the vest with a small rotation. I think Stevenson needs to get some time opposite Kidd. I don't want to see Terry and Barea out there at the same time. Less Najera unless he's on Blair. Give Roddy 5 minutes.
Why Najera on Blair?
Because teh Blacks and teh Messicans don't like each other. Najera is an annoying pest who would get on Blair's nerves.
