Cuban should fire Carlisle this offseason and hire Larry Brown. Hey, it worked for the Pistons.
Out of those, KG is the worst offender yet Peirce was the leader of that team, and KG was not the franchise player.
also;
Garnett dunking over Gasol and chest bumping >>>>>>>>>>> Dirk Shooting over nate robinson and fist pumping
Allen draining a three over Bowen then getting pumped >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dirk fadeing over Beno Udrih and sticking his tongue out.
Peirce driving in on Kobe and Bynum for a jam, slamming the ball getting a te al and revving up the crowd >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dirk making an off balanced hookshot over Tony Parker and making a mean mug.

if you're going to celebrate, do it proportionate to the defender who guards you. It's like Mono starting a thread over schooling Ducks in basketball knowledge.
I was just countering Findog's "Mavs were two possesions away of winning the NBA championship" argument.
But if you want to get something out of my comment then the question could be: Would Dirk legacy be the same if he wouldn't have lead his team to the finals?
because you have too many re ed dummies who jinxed the Mavs pretty badly, featuring mono lab1k and... you know who.
You forget the Mavs were one Terry nutpunch from ending that series in 6 games. The Spurs were lucky the series went that long. Besides, they still had overtime in G7 to right the ship and they couldn't do it. Just like the Mavs still had a game at home after the Salvatore call at the end of G5 and they couldn't do it.
If the Mavs had wrapped up game 3 in finals that year, I say they would have secured the championship with 3-0 over the Cheat, considering no team has ever surmounted a 0-3 deficit in a 7-game series so far in the history of NBA. Mavs could have won this game, but Mr. Stern didn't want it this way, hence we saw the refs lent their hands and tacitly helped them with the next 2 games. Losing the 2-0 lead harshly ravaged the confidences of those feeble s, and you know what happened next.
That whole coulda, woulda, shoulda is water under the bridge. Spursfan could argue that their team was .4 seconds from extending the series against the lakers in '04, or a bad call away from taking the WCF in '08, or as DAF pointed out, a boneheaded play from the Finals in '06.
Dallasfan could argue that should they have gone past the Warriors, they could have won it all in '07.
Back in the real world, Miami won fair and square. Dallas was the better team in the '06 series against the Spurs. Lakers beat us and we moved on. And Dirk just couldn't get it done, much like other greats like Barkley, Malone or Stockton.
I'm not one of the psychotic morons who have been living in delusions/imaginations for nearly four years since 2006. Miami HEAT were the champions that year and I've never denied the truth. It makes ZERO sense to refute it, on the other hand however, it also makes little sense to call that series "fair" or "square" or . Those games were nakedly rigged and you have to be blind to say otherwise. The games videos are still available on Internet so you can easily go for a search if you need something to convince yourself of the truth.
The Mavs-Spurs series wasn't rigged, but I had to say there were some bad calls made in that series like that Duncan got a foul for Dirk's stepping on and then falling off his foot. I can't disagree the Mavs-Spurs series that year was evenly matched and could have gone either way, the Mavs just got better luck and qualified. You can't expect refs to make every call accurately and their mistakes made in Spurs-Mavs series were well tolerable, but that's not how it was in the finals that year. Mavs 5 men lost to Miami 6, which is fair to say.
If you believe the NBA is rigged and you still watch, what does that say about you?
The more I think about it, the more I think starting Roddy might be a good idea.
Hes an instant offense kinda guy who guy start the game off with a roddy-oop and get the crowd into it. Maybe fix these 17 point first quarters we've been having. Also, he is probably the best option on Hill that we have on this team.
Kidd
Roddy
Marion
Dirk
Haywood
Just thinking out loud. I would definitely start Haywood though. That shouldn't be a question.
It says we are basketball addicts that can't stop watching.
It says you are s for cheering and going on about something you think is fixed.
Haywood is starting tonight....but still, Carlisle
You serious?
Like our chances a bit more
Took him 5 damn games to make the switch, however a little to lateYou serious?
Like our chances a bit more
Did the refs change the size of the rims when the Mavs were missing key FTs? Did they telekinetically guide all those amazing shots Wade was hitting? Did the refs turn into Moses and part the Mavs defense allowing Wade to penetrate them at will? Where were these refs that were out to get the poor Mavs the first 11 quarters of that series? The Mavs had the series won and they choked it away plain and simple. Sure there were some 'phantom' calls but alot of superstars get those calls, Dirk himself benefitted and to this day still benefits from that...how many ing FTs does he get because he goes flying after a fadeaway despite little to no contact?
The NBA had no agenda against Dallas that series, nor were they looking to make Wade an NBA poster boy. The Mavs were clearly the better team but once they went into choke mode that changed. Heat > choke mode Mavs. The better team won.
Keep your stupidy out of this thread. This thread is about Rick Carlisle being a face.
Says the guy that knows jack about basketball. You guys are like those idiot Spur fans that think theyre a better coach than Pop. Quit acting like Bowlbwall is some savior or that giving Shawn "I dissapear in the playoffs" Marion more PT would change the outcome of the series. Carlisle isnt some legendary coach but he's solid, not his fault the Mavs are notorious chokers.
Carlisle and his 3 guard lineup
for starting Haywood
lol at Dampier never touching the court. good job carlisle
In scrub time he should be able to play.lol at Dampier never touching the court. good job carlisle
Whatever we did tonight, it worked. Maybe it was simply the Mavs hitting their shots. Obviously Butler played great. It was also collective that the spurs played like garbage. Ive said from game 4, this series will go 7. Just need the same dosage of Haywood and Dampier that we had tonight. Terry and Butler need to show up. Dirk and Kidd will, that is a given. I like our chances. Believe.In scrub time he should be able to play.
My biggest gripe with Rick Carlisle when he was with the Pistons is that he put players in the doghouse sometimes... His benching of Jon Barry, for example, killed any outside chance of extending the series against the Nets in 2003. It was total posturing and ego with that move.
But his in-game adjustments are generally top-notch.
