I think he's referencing that AHF thinks Tony should shoot 43% from 3, which as I noted, is pretty unreasonable.
WTF are you talking about?? AHF just said Tony improving his three point shooting would be far more profitable than merely dunking. Just because you think it would look "cool" doesn't mean . The dude isn't hating, he's right. Besides, Tony can already score in the paint at will, why would dunking be a priority???

He took some huge steps last season, so I anticipate his jumper will continue to improve. If I have to pick an area where I'd like to see some change, I agree with those that would like to see more assists. Last season is difficult to judge by in that category though. He pretty much had to carry the team in scoring for most of the season, so I can't fault him for not being the assist king.
If he can "score in the paint at will" then might I ask why he didn't do it a couple more times in Games 3, 4, and 7? The French.
True. When your coach is telling you to shoot the ball 20-25 times a game, averaging 6 or 7 assists is pretty good.![]()
that I agree with, %43 shooting is something Bruce or Brent should aspire to![]()
Umm.. Tony was injured badly in the Mavs series if you don't recall. He could barely walk and a few games wasn't even expected to play. And he still averaged 20ppg.
no ones saying its a priority. it would just be cool to see. hes acting like he would yawn if it happened. like two points is two points is two points. true enough. but i remember people going ape in this forum when tony dunked last time... because its fun to watch!
and it doesnt mean if you look cool, you're right. but i watch the game to be entertained and you are a sad sad man if you dont want to get up off your chair for an exciting game
Maybe if he did less Evatime, he'd have fresher legs for this.

So was Timmy.

Tim wasn't hurt in the Mavs series.Tony had a bad thigh bruise and a pulled groin, resulting in no lift.
Do you dumb s watch the games?
It was funny.but i remember people going ape in this forum when tony dunked last time... because its fun to watch!
Reminded me of Vinny Del Negro.
The only good that could come from his dunking more often is the opposing team might not be able to continue the game because they are all doubled over in laughter.
It's a chicken/egg thing. Tony's strength is scoring and always will be scoring, and Pop has admitted he's not going to make him pass-first.
I think if Tony worked some more on his court awareness and the coaching staff worked a little more into taking full advantage of the times he's drving the lane and drawing three guys on him, he could average 1-2 more assists a game.
He was "supposed" to be hurt.![]()
I watched the games, and I saw the Mavs you yall's asses![]()

Who was supposed to be hurt?
Your ignorance is showing.
Once again, mavfan flies the flag of ignorance.
I'm starting to see some peoples' point.
Just think, the Spurs-Mavs series might have actually been exciting if Tony had thrown down a few dunks.
More like it's tattooed onto his tongue.
That's true. Last year was a weird cir stance, which as Spurschick alluded to, didn't help Tony's development in the assist area. With Manu/Tim banged up all year, Tony was just instructed to score more points than the other team.
Hopefully this season will be different. I'd like to see Tony average 18/8 while improving his jumpshot.
Oh, yeah, if Tim and Manu are going to be banged up all year, screw the assists and get the wins any way you can.
Now that Tony's finger is broken, maybe he is in the gym doing left handed layups all day.![]()
7 games and overtime? Yeah, that's handing us our asses alright. Does that mean that Miami handed it to you worse since you only took them to 6 games?
On the bright side, Eva has a date for tonight. I assume she's going even though the show wasn't nominated?
Just ignore him. He's like 12 years old, I'm sure he wasn't allowed to stay up late and watch the games.
