Marion's role in this series is to play defense on Wallace, Batum and Miller. Scoring is nowhere near as important, as we've seen. For the few chances he's getting, he's still doing a good job on making the most of the opportunities. With the options Portland has and the way they run their defense in crashing the boards to rebound, it's hard for Marion to pick up some of those same garbage buckets we were seeing late in the season. Now, tonight, if the Blazers show a commitment to stretching out to the 3-point line to close out on the shooters, then Marion will see his numbers increase as he'll be able to roam around inside, cleaning up like he's apt to do. When he's on the floor, I'd say he's about the last option on offense.

if anything, I'll admit I was wrong about Stojakovic
I had no idea he had a game like that in him the other night. I guess that's one good thing about having depth. Random role players will have a breakout game here and there while others suck it up
Peja is a perfect backup for Dirk. When Dirk goes out, they still have a PF that can go in, score points consistently and keep the defense stretched while drawing an opposing forward out of the paint, similar to what Dirk does. Last time the Mavs had a player that could do that was Keith Van Horn, and that was the year the Mavs went to the Finals.
Peja is very key for the Mavs to succeed, because when Dirk goes out, the Mavs don't have to worry as badly about filling in the missing scoring threat, like they have had to do in the past with guys like Najera, Hollins, and Croshere backing Dirk up and doing nothing.
Tbh if Dallas were playing the Suns (lol Suns in playoffs), Peja would go into 2002 form. He is to the Suns what JET is to the Rockets. He'll still be able to drop 20+ on the Suns even after he's a 50 year old with chronic back issues.
For some reason Carlisle has no problem signing a veteran, letting him play like with consistent minutes during the regular season and letting him play through it to get his confidence for the playoffs, but he refuses to do it with young players.
Unfortunately, JET doesnt even do anything to the Rockets these days...
Wallace is way better than Marion and will outplay him in this series. Having said that, it doesn't mean I'm rooting against the Mavs.
solid numbers for a 5th option.
his tattoo means 'demon bird mothballs'

tbh you should change it before an actual mod on ST bans you.
Continuing my appreciation of women, around Mother's Day, tbh..
Jeeeeeezus Christ.
father's day appreciation isn't necessary, imho.
tbh, Marion is like the ing lottery... would anybody be surprised if he lays a turd in the Finals?
Just ride that gravy train while it lasts...
