A valid point. It was a conscious decision by their brain trust to go that route. Utah made the same decision in '87. It proved fatal in both instances.
You're just mad because the Mavs have a championship and the most recent championship from a Texas team. It just eats some fans up especially Laker, Spur, and Heat fans that the Mavs have a damn championship. I love that . I love the fact that no one can ever ever say that the Mavs and Dirk are ringless. I love the fact that haters had to finally shut the up in 2011. It was awesome.

Interesting. Unfortunately, cuban is their brain trust and donnie nelson is his yes man. I'm sure donnie is ready to write a book on the offseason leadin up to 2012, with cuban putting all his eggs in the D-Will basket and it not working out. The next step was, "we have to make this thing look good on paper in order to appease season ticket holders."
Congrats on the Pacific Division le bro. Your boys get to play a week longer than the Mavs..... SCORE!
I'm sorry to hear about Manu and Parker broAnother early flameout coming.
Hate away but at the end of the day, the Mavs have a championship and you cannot take it away from them. And the reason why Mavs' fans were pissed about the refs because Stern took out his hatred of Mark Cuban on the Mavs by screwing them in certain games. Thank you. And again, if you are a fan of the Spurs, Lakers, or Heat, you should not be talking about officiating. Thank you again.
Congrats on getting into det Mexican medical school bro... you get to work in ty third-world hospitals for pay and use leeches and instead of modern medicine.... SCORE!
It's still unbelievable how Cuban just let Chandler walk. You could criticize the Spurs dynasty for not repeating, but the Mavs were so pathetic they didn't even try defending that ring. Until now, I cannot believe it.
It defies logic. Upon gross examination even to an adversary it sickens the stomach. And it highlights the incestuous relationship twixt Media and select figures. Cuban should have been outcast. Instead, a veil of silence was afforded him.
Well said, Cully.
This has to be a troll..I mean come the on
Burke is so plain it renders her gorgeous.
The smart basketball people understand a championship formula and the importance of tweaking it, not overhauling it. They won with one inside guy, an average perimeter defender and a few murderous mid-to-long-range shooters; choosing to let them walk in order to sign D-Will. I guess shark tank was a more important issue. Good thing they won when they could in '11. If I were a mavericks fan, I would not be happy about who is in charge of my basketball team.
The 2003 run was a lot of fun too. Loved that second-round series against the Kings and even the first-round series against Portland had some good games and drama after they nearly choked away a 3-0 lead.
Great stuff, but I gotta go with this
LOL Nash with the worst defensive play I have ever seen in the NBA at the 3:20 mark. Looks like the only thing on his mind was 'lets get the season over so I can duck my kids some more' tbh.
The Mavs were heavily playing a zone defense that year. I believe that when he doubled, Van Exel was supposed to come down and get Kerr, Finley was supposed to rotated to NVE's spot, and Nash was supposed to go out to the opposite side wing where Finley initially was.
Nash has never been a good defender, but I don't think that was his fault. I think they wanted him to double Timmy, but the rest of the defense didn't rotate properly.
I don't know tbh, Nash has made a career out of playing help defense when it's neither called for or needed. He freelances and wanders off his man constantly and he's done it his entire career. Which is funny because he's probably the worst help defender in the league but he tries to do it so much.
