right, missing one shot is "hurting the team".
I wish Dirk would stop shooting. He hurt the team so damn much last night every time he missed! He hurt the team more than anybody else on the Mavs!
Also, it's funny how you went from predicting they'd win 37 games in the preseason to going full blown "We love our boys in blue" once they get a 2-0 lead in the 1st round, and then you criticize m>s for not being a loyal fan

understudy, I know you're smart enough to know the difference between being a pessimist and going full blown "I'm openly rooting for a player on the other team to kick my team's ass".
I'm still not convinced Dallas wins this series. I just know that so far, Marion isn't anywhere near the top of the list of guys to blame if they don't.
So you're saying that missing shots doesn't hurt the team![]()
Who would be if he isn't? He's practically the one player on Dallas who isn't matching his regular season production or doing better so far against Portland.
And it's more than "hurting the team". When a player is playing passive, scared of the ball, and not looking to get involved offensively, you can't find a way he's directly hurting the team, but him being scared and hesitant on shots he would take without 2nd thought in the regular season is still choking, even if it doesn't happen to be hurting the team.
so you're saying Dirk hurt the Mavericks more than anybody else last night?
well you're more than welcome to proven that marion is playing scared on offense.
I see Jason Kidd feeling so confident right now that shots Kidd would normally pass up are now being taken, thus taking away opportunities from guys like Marion and Chandler.
I said missing shots hurt the team (do you agree or disagree?). I never said it hurt the team more than anything else.
Oh, and I forgot JJ has been his usual self in this series, I guess he'd be a lot more to blame than Marion.
Missing shots is part of the game. Name me one team that went 100% from the field.
Does missing shots hurt the team or not? It's a yes or no question.
tbh Jason Terry is playing within the offense but he isn't really a great defender or rebounder so if he isn't scoring he isn't really doing imo. At least he isn't chucking up bull and shooting us out of games (lol 7-25 in game 6 2006 finals)
Don't worry, chucking up and missing it is part of the game.
Shaq missing a shot in the 02 WCF sure helped when Vlade backtapped it right into Horry's hands. So in that case missing a shot helped the Lakers tremendously.
no no no, all those misses by Kevin Durant tonight nearly killed his team's chances to win![]()

Well, if he went 12-15 instead of 7-15, it would have decreased Denver's chances at winning even more.
but that's still THREE MISSES! How could OKC ever recover from that?????
You told me show you how Marion was hurting Dallas. You didn't tell me to show you how he was hurting Dallas to an unimaginable degree. Missing shot(s) hurts your team, whether it be a lot or a little, a missed shot still has a negative effect the greater majority of the time.
and "he missed a shot" was the best you could come up with. again, thanks for playing.
If I ever said in the first place he was hurting Dallas that would make sense. He's having a subpar series compared to his regular season #s. Sorry if that gets you angry for some reason.
Threads about to reach 300 pages, Marion choking is a VERY sensitive issue in Dallas
I've always said that the viability of the Mavs making a deep run in the playoffs hinges on Marion and Stevenson getting a lot of PT. I could care less what they do on offense just as long as they can play defense
