Mavs would've won if Howard and Harris were playing.
Mavs would have won if Dirk didn't disappear down the stretch...
Stack and VH were clutch, Dirk not so much...
Stack choked. What are you talking about? Dirk would've shot the ball if given the ball by Stackhole.
What did you think of Prince's masterful block on Dirk in crunch time?
Chauncey > Dirk
Maybe you don't expect much of Dirk in crunch time anymore. I understand...
What did you think for Stackhouse's masterful choke. Even when Stackhouse plays well he finds a way to hurt Dallas at the end. Stackhouse=most selfish player ever.
I jumped out of my seat when Tay blocked that shot. It was like the perfect ending to an amazing ball game.
Ok, we'll start a pe ion to the NBA to officially give Dallas the win since they would have won with Howard and Harris.
It seems the game fell apart for the Mavs after the altercation between Delfino and Stack. Next time down court Rip knocked the ball off of Stack's leg and the rest is history.
Stack and Van Horn did keep you in the game though.
Stack had a couple bad turnovers and a couple bad shots down the stretch.
But, 11-18 for 25 points.
Dallas is blown out without Stack shooting so well most of the game.
Stack played great until it's crunch time or playoffs that's his MO.
Would of could have should have just get ready to go fishing once the playoffs start.![]()
Yep, and the reason why Joe Dumars shipped him away for Rip.Stackhouse=most selfish player ever.
BTW Way to go Dirk and Avery, by fighting on the bench.
Really professional there assclowns.
Lol, the guy with that sign was like two rows behind me. That's awesome. What a of a game that was. Just got home a couple minutes ago and my throat and palms still hurt, lol.
LMAO That doesn't sound good.......
Lol, don't judge me man![]()
Mavs fan. He's the only one.
stackhouse is a thug wannabe. hate that . Mavs are lost if they require him and Vanhorn to win.
ok,, this is now nba forum bait.
get rid of this .
...like nips in a cool midwest breeze...
Why is everyone so hard on Stack all the time? The guy was the sixth man when asked to be (He should've started over Dumars in 1998 and 1999), he was the side-kick to Hill when asked (Only Kobe/Shaq scored more points than Stackhouse 23.4 and Hill 25.6 in 2000), he jacked up 25 shots a night because it was the only way to win (29.8 ppg in 2001, the highest in franchise history), and he backed off when Carlisle asked him to (21.1 ppg in 2002).
His 'posse' has a run-in with Allen Iverson in 1998, and he's a punk. He makes comments that Jordan makes 30 million, so why can't Stack re-sign for 15 a year in 1999, and he's a punk for the rest of his career.
I can name 5 game-winning shots off the top of my head. I can name 4 other game-tying shots that Stack made. When he got to Detroit, he couldn't pass and he couldn't do anything but get to the rack.
So let's recap: He was stupid when he was younger, and it haunts him to this day. No matter what the role, he may have ed, but he went on the court and did it.
When people bring up the fact he's played with Allen Iverson, Grant Hill, Michael Jordan, and Dirk Nowitzki he always pipes up and says: "What about Ben Wallace?"
Jerry Stackhouse wasn't a maximum player. But when no one wanted to come to Detroit, when Cliff Robinson and Jon Barry had to be talked down from the ledge because they went from contending teams in Phoenix and Sacramento to the doledrums of Detroit, guess who stuck by the Pistons? He didn't demand a trade or quit like Carter did in Toronto, or McGrady in Orlando. Who still praises Rick Sund (who traded for him) and Joe Dumars for believing in the player he could be? Jerry Stackhouse.
He is gone because he wanted a big payday, and because the Pistons' potential backcourt of Chauncey Billups and Jerry Stackhouse wouldn't have worked; they are too similar. The Hamilton/Billups backcourt worked because Rip isn't constantly trying to get into the lane like Stack. He is a better mid-range shooter than Billups, and where both Stack and C-Bill thrive is off the dribble in the paint and at the 3-point line. It just wouldn't have worked, but Billups was needed because Chucky Atkins couldn't continue to be the starting point guard. He couldn't defend larger guards, his shot was streaky, and making Stack the initiator of the offense was problematic because he just doesn't have the physical skills to see the play develop, and too often his man knows where the ball is going.
He was, for about 5 seasons, the offensive machine for the Pistons. I'm not saying he's a great player or should be starting over Josh Howard or Adrian Griffin. 6th man on a contending team seems the perfect place for him. But the guy is tough, he hates losing, he's a great singer, and has been working in the area of diabetes research as long as he's been in the league.
He was the opposite of Grant Hill in almost every conciveable way. Their games, on-court mentality, and the way they reacted in pressure situations. Who was the first guy to say "I want Rasheed to be a Piston. He's struggling in Portland, and he'd love it here. Just don't trade Ben."
Mr. Jerry Stackhouse in December, 2001.
