lol mavfans b4 the series who think his the defensive stopper top calibre player...this guy has always been the spurs and hasnt even shut down anyone in his career....dont believe the you see when he played with the nash suns or wade heat, this guy is fkn overrated.
how bout a Nick Van Exel off the bench?
I almost choked on my sourdough jack when I heard mavs thinking Marion was any sort of playoff stopper
who?
Marion - Product of Nash™
I've not seen a lot of this good D mav fans talked about.
Well, there was a reason the Suns let him go. Talked a lot of and didn't back it up.
Biggest reason I think is he cost and lot and could not create his own shot. Hench dissapearing in the playoffs especially against the Spurs who pay attention to him on D to prevent cheap scoring opportunities. I liked him on defense, but honestly, he was a garbage collector on Offense.Well, there was a reason the Suns let him go. Talked a lot of and didn't back it up.
He's not counted on to score 20 a game like vs Phoenix, so he should be having a good series.
Right?
The best part of that is, he was never counted on to score 20 a game on Phoenix, he was supposed to let his offense come to him, he didn't and ended up throwing tons of possessions away with stupid shots, exactly what he's doing right now.
But anyway, good thread
His stats from last night
17 minutes, 3-9 shooting, and the lowest +/- of anyone on his team.....-17 in 17 minutes
Agreed. Lebron is good enough to make up for not having a true second option, but at the same time he still has the deepest team in the league. Really no surprise they were the best this year.
The Mavs have more talent on their roster than anyone except maybe a couple of teams, but lack that one ex-factor of a true second all-star. Instead they have a plethora of semi-all-stars.
And now twitter is tugging at the inner primadonna in him.His stats from last night

Inner primadonna
Marion is the Spurs' , through and ing through.
It was there in the regular season against Kobe, Bron and Melo. They all shot very poorly matched up against him.
Why he pisses himself at the sight of the Spurs logo, I do not know. On paper he should be an effective option for checking Ginobili
Also defended Durant well
But all of those guys are small forwards
GInobilis a 2 guard
Kobe has the speed of a small forward these days in my humble points which is why he was able to defend him decently.
Marion defended Kobe well because Kobe is a s of himself. He shoots poorly regularly now, regardless of who defends him. Even Stevenson played good D. Its not like Marion is expected to shut him down because of history, Kobe used to routinely ABUSE Marion whenever we played the Suns to the point I thought he was scared of him.
Marion has been doing solid on defense, he has had some nice post up moves during the series.
I agree with Shawn, he should play more. All 48 minutes if possible.
Players are traded for a reason.
