Rockets crushing Mavericks under their boots
BTW, how's all that depth helping Dallas, tbh?I still remember those arguments during the season with you slobbing the Mavs balls. You're lucky I don't feel like searching, you had some horrible takes son.
Rockets crushing Mavericks under their boots
I do. They need a PG to replace Lin and Nash. The Lakers can move Clarkson to SG and Kirby to the bench.
Duncan, Dirk, Kirbs.
Shaq is an inbetweener, so I don't count him with that gen.
Their bench outscored Houston's tonight, and their current bench is markedly worse than it was before they traded for Rondo. So the issue is not their depth, but their starting 5, primarily Rondo and Jefferson.BTW, how's all that depth helping Dallas, tbh?
C'mon bro, don't make me go searching. You thought the Mavs were contenders and said they were the deepest team on the league. None of those claims are even remotely close to being true.

Manu 0.2 is 2-0 up on Dirk, tbh.
Dirk has an alpha ring, Manu doesn't.
That was before the Rondo trade, which admittedly I was on board with since the Mavs needed to roll the dice on a PG. They crapped out.C'mon bro, don't make me go searching. You thought the Mavs were contenders and said they were the deepest team on the league. None of those claims are even remotely close to being true.
And they were statistically the deepest league team in the league at the point. Brendan Wright was playing terrific, Barea was consistently solid, as was Harris. The Mavs were averaging like 110 points during that stretch. Also, Dirk found the fountain of youth and Monta was on fire. They were undoubtedly contenders (contenders=/=favorite).
Then they traded for Rondo.
Can't tell if you're agreeing or disagreeing, but the big German has Kobe beat in nearly every statistical measure known to man (both reg. season and playoffs) aside from ulative "all time stats" (which are worthless) and rings. Remember, once Dirk got a decent center on the team (Chandler) he won a ring. While Kobe has played with 4 all star bigs (one of whom a top ten great) over his career.
I honestly thought you were thinking Harden
what a ty place this thread devolved in to ...Manu over Dirk, Dirk over Kobe? LOL.
I said the same and Parsons injury doesnt help but that defense (parsons just OK on that end) there are no words.
Oh and LOL i picked Mavs in 7 ...
I hope Harden drops 40 points on 2-9 shooting, 25+ FTA's again.. Mavs fans at AAC and on twitter will be so salty
From ESPN ...
What I said before Game 2, almost word for word ...
For all his X's and O's brilliance, Carlisle hasn't been able to figure out a way to hide Rondo's biggest flaw -- his inability to force defenses to respect him as a perimeter-shooting threat. As a result, Rondo's presence on the floor screws up the spacing for the rest of the Mavs. And Rondo isn't a good enough defender at this point of his career to make up for the messes created by having him run the Mavs' offense.
It's a minor miracle that the Mavs managed to make Tuesday's game compe ive for more than three quarters, considering that Dirk Nowitzki shot 3-of-14 from the field, Rondo really contributed nothing and two key Mavs (small forward Chandler Parsons and Harris) were sidelined by injuries. Parsons might be out the rest of the series due to a sore knee that refuses to heal.
Dallas actually led early in the fourth quarter. And then the Rockets' highlight reel started, with Josh Smith suddenly morphing into a hyperathletic version of Magic Johnson and Dwight Howard looking to be every bit the dominant force that the Rockets and Mavs thought he'd be during their recruiting battle for him a couple of summers ago.
^people were saying that on the day the trade happened.
I haven't been following the opinions of the vanilla media and casual fans, but I really hope Carlisle isn't receiving the blame
Rondo sucks..he isn't a good basketball player, he looks like a Black Pablo Prigioni(to Prigioni's defense, at least he's like 40 years old)..
Nah, I didnt take that excerpt as a shot at RC, it was at Rondo. The implication HH, is that if RC cant figure out a way to integrate Rondo ... who can?
And Mono is right realist Mav fan were questioning the trade from the jump, but the homers kept banking on playoff Rondo.
I will give HH credit he has been trashing him for over two years I also didnt like him but thought he still had some value prior to his injury if he could be surrounded by shooters like he was with the Celts in 2008-2010
Please dear god no but would anyone give him a max deal? His last good season was in 2010-2011
Nobody will even think about it, obviously
As funny as it would be to see him with the Lakers(and it really would be extremely funny), I kind of hope they don't further destroy their franchise by doing it, the league is better when the Lakers are competing..
For some reason, antisocial cancerous s tend to bond together. Rondo and Monta have that going for them. They should both go to the Lakers.Nobody will even think about it, obviously
