Can't really say. Depends if Butler can pick off where he left off, once he returns. Big if imo.
It was an honest question. You guys swap teams like TP swaps wives.I knew DMC would get butthurt off this thread. The guy brings GNSF to new levels.

And this post means hes officially gotten to the point where he just "wants all the other meanie fanbases to go away.
of course its only been the Cavs and Kings, but Peja has not been all that bad on defense. he seems to have gotten a hang of the zone very quickly, provides solid help defense, rarely seems to get out of position (he got ate up pretty bad once last night on a pick though) and does a solid job of boxing out on rebounds both in man and zone.
its early, but his defense hasnt been just atrocious or anything like that though. and once he starts getting his stroke back (which he will), the offense and defense both will become FAR more efficient. the spacing he provides is great, and he really knows how to move without the ball and use combos of picks and cuts to get lots of freedom. i think he will actually have a bigger impact on the team than any of us initially expected. his style of offense fits MUCH better than Caron's did with the starting unit. Caron's style fit better off the bench, IMO. He was somewhat of a streaky shooter, while Peja is about as good of a shooter as you can ask for, and suprisingly, a consistent jumpshooter to provide spacing is something that has been missing from the starting lineup for YEARS.
tbh Pejas jumpshoot hasn't been falling in his time with the Mavs, but he at least seems to be fitting into the offense. He had five assist last night.
tbh right now this team looks just like every Mavs team since 06. ty defense, overwhelmed by athletic players, and barely able to beat scrub teams.
1st round exit, guaranteed.
The NBA Forum would be boring as without the MalibuMavKrew, the Blessings bandwagon posse, along with the Mav/Laker fan lapdog 41, not to mention the good Reverend Hornet BR and the schizophrenic Laku,kool,Timvp. Its like going to a comedy movie. Good stuff.And this post means hes officially gotten to the point where he just "
tbh i think he was the perfect fit at SF for the offense. might not be as strong of a defender as Butler, but truth is, with all the length the team now has, plus Chandler (who has gotten better and better as the year has gone on) backing everyone up, i think the defense will be fine, possibly better not due to stronger defense by the players, but due to a more efficient offense putting more pressure on the opponent. peja seems like a better passer than Caron as well. Sometimes Caron would have really boneheaded turnovers.
tbh I wouldn't classify our defense as ty. I would say we have a solid defense. Offensively, the Mavs have some major issues.
I definitely wouldn't be shocked if we go out in the first round.
giving up 96 to the cavs and 100 to the kings isn't solid defense.
Ain't skeered. Mavs demand respect but never earn it in post-season. They're all diva punks and will never win a championship. Ever. They'll forever be the redheaded stepchild of Texas.
Caron's December was better than anything Peja will ever give us imho
samuel dalembert going insane for 20 points off of long jumpers isnt going to happen more than once in his career either
no question, it was damn good, but you cant expect caron to shoot the ball that well consistently is the thing. he always has been a very streaky shooter.
The two best defenses I've seen so far this season have been Boston and Miami. So Dallas, LA, and SA really don't have to worry about a seeing a really good defensive team unitil one of the above mentioned teams reach the finals.
im trying to figure out who out of denver, utah, portland, or new orleans is supposed to bounce the mavs in the first round. all 4 of them would be lucky to go 6. i think people still think that these teams are strong as they were 2-3 years ago, which they are not remotely close to being strong like that.
Always neat to see a clubber step out of that hole.
Thank Christ we can't have more than 2 capitalized letters per word on this message board. I'm glad we're spared from that.
Maybe we should kinda tidy everything up, huh? What do you say?
Just a thought.
so clever. Let me make you feel at home:
I don't want anyone to go away (ok maybe a couple of people). I was only pointing out the obvious. If I registered as a Spurs fan on a Lakers forum and started a thread commending the Celtics, i am more than certain there would be a couple of similar responses.And this post means hes officially gotten to the point where he just "
Are you going to be ok though? I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
Parade, banner, no rings, dirks ugly girl, golden state, trophy case, lol@, u mad, u butthurt...
the usual.
He can't hit 3's either...
Been a good stretch with a few wins over quality teams.
Peja getting integrated in the offense and Roddy coming back Wednesday.
Hopefully we stay healthy this time
