hey avery how about running a pick n roll with dirk and kidd/terry to actually make the defense work instead of isoing dirk on 1 ankle late in the game....oh ya and great inbounds plays there late
double teaming kobe at half court? damp is the slowest player on the floor so he cant hustle back from half court and get back into the play....double kobe when he has the ball on the wing and the floor isnt so spread out....this dumb coach keeps out doing himself
oh ya and leave a gimpy dirk under the rim with odom and gasol taking it to him 2 on 1...genius avery
the floor was so spread when u double that far from the basket its sickening....its just inviting layups at the basket
your only defender at the rim is sent 40 ft from the basket to double team....how dumb is that

Nope, the defense is better. If you watch the games, it's obvious, and the stats back it up. Mavs defensive efficiency is better with Kidd. For every charge Devin draws, Kidd creates two turnovers.
Well, well, well.....all I heard today from most of the mav fans was that the lakers will lose...oh well good work. Yes a close game, but we didn't play to well and still won. You have no answer for our big 3 and hope to outscore us. Good luck in the playoffs.
Dirk played great....but that's all I see you have. Luckily your jump shots were falling or it would have been a lot worse.

Black Napoleon will be gone this summer and hopefully Del Harris will be installed in his place.
Dell Harris...seriously...go for Larry Brown instead.
hahaha, you shot over 50% and executed well, yet you "sucked ass."
Not when Dirk has to guard Odom on one leg. Catch 22, we're not getting into the playoffs w/o him, but he can't guard guys like Odom..You have no answer for our big 3 and hope to outscore us.
No, it's more like Jackzen>Avery.Sasha>Dallas D
great game.....avery still sucks, thats all
Del Harris > Avery. Del was in charge of our defense last year when we locked teams down and won 67 games, and Avery banished him to the luxury suites:

I just remember Dell coaching us back in the day and not getting it done.
wasnt there an avatar bet on this game?
Dirk and Howard both choked.......
Howard with his tantrum....although that was a horse crap call, no one touched Odom on that rebound airball tip of his.
And Dirk losing the ball on the drive late is inexcusable....Star players have to either :
a. Get a shot
b. set up a teamate for a shot
Because turning it over cost them a realistic chance at winning.

That doesn't mean he was a ty coach. I assume by "not getting it done" you mean win a le, right? Do you have to win a le to be considered a good coach?
From what I remember he won 50+ games every year with the Lakers. He's a good coach. He took a Rockets team with a losing record to the Finals.
off. Dirk turned in a gutsy performance on one leg. is wrong with you?
Del Harris was great for the Rockets....got a 40-42 team to the finals....
DD
del harris is not the answer....some new blood is needed
Woah there hoss, no need to get all upset.
Dirk may still be hurting some, but that doesn't excuse his turnover.
He lost the ball on his own.....it was a piss poor play in crunch time.
Just keeping it real Findog.

Yeah, he came back after a week and a half from an injury that usually keeps people out 3-6 weeks because his team needs him, and he committed a turnover. So what?
I've seen the games. Your interior D is the worse I recall from a Mavs team since Avery took control of the team.
Del Harris is much better than Avery, right? Don't you think Del would sit down once in a while and exercise some common sense?
I looked at the stats and opponent turnovers are actually down. One of the real bizarre developments in looking at Kidd's impact and Harris' departure is that the "better floor general" Jason Kidd has hurt the offense, while the departure of the "best defensive point guard in the league" Devin Harris has helped our defense. In fact, the impact on the Mavs defense has been the single biggest change since the trade: The Mavs are giving up 1.7 fewer points per 100 possessions than they did before the trade. That's a very significant drop, and is nearly double the hit we took on the offensive side.
In terms of specifics, the Mavs have improved in practically every defensive category but turnovers: The opposition shoots worse, the Mavs allow fewer offensive rebounds, and are fouling less. The loss of Harris' taking charges certainly has had an impact on opponent turnovers, as the opposition commit over 2 fewer turnovers than they did before the trade.
the coach deciding to run an iso play for a player with 1-leg is just blame dumb.. he set him up to fail. hey avery how about running a pick n roll with dirk and terry/kidd that actually make the defense work and have to communicate and gives you more options offensively. with jet he can come of the screen dish to dirk or shoot the J. same goes with kidd and he can definetly get it to dirk or drive and kick out
its not rocket science avery
We win a le this year or Avery's gone. Either way, happy ending this summer for the Mavs.
Oh give me a break, he sprained it, but it was not near as twisted around as Gasol's was.....
Sure he is hurting but who isn't at this time, how does that excuse him dribblng the ball down his jersey down 1 and a chance to take the lead?
Dirk may be hurting but you guys are making it sound like he is coming off of a major injury....watch the replay again, he didn't even twist it that much...
SHEESH.
