you must be ing dumb. i love Dirk, but he doesnt give NEAR the presence that Duncan gives, especially on the inside. Dirk cannot open lanes the way Duncan can. he draws double teams, but only when he drives or is on the perimeter. Duncan draws attention and double teams any time he goes inside, whether he has the ball or not. Dirk does not, because he doesnt have the post game that Duncan does, and not many players in NBA history has.

Yeah Dirk doesnt draw double teams.

and the thought of harris scoring 20 ppg for the spurs is laughable. running point for tim duncans team doesnt automatically make you an all star. Parker has improved significantly every year and earned his AS spot this year. The day that devin harris is a significant part of any championship team is the day i will eat my own

not really. Id take Nash, Kidd, Billups, Arenas, Iverson, Bibby, and Harris all over him in a heartbeat. Parker is a choker, below average shooter, average passer, average defender, weak, soft, and falls apart under trap defenses. i mean holy , he has tim duncan to pass it to, and he can still only average 6 APG??? and 5 of those come from passes to duncan. he cant create for himself, and cant create for others. he is not a good point guard at all. he is a good penetrator, and good finisher, and a decent basketball player, but thats it. without Duncan, he averages maybe 12, 13 points a game, and no one will give a about him.

Yeah because your takes are very knowledgeable.

AI's not even a point guard genius. You completely contradict yourself by saying TP is a decent player and then go back and say he's week and soft. Calling me a homer after you just said you'd take Devin Harris over TP is pretty hypicritical of you.

Well, he was a pretty significant part of the Mavericks Championship run this year. And he will be even more significant next year when they win it. prepare to eat , .

Nah you guys wont mentally recover from this years finals. To go that far this year going 2-0 in the FINALS blowing a 13pt lead with 6 1/2 minutes left and losing 4 straight after that is gonna be something that will haunt them. You will contend but alot of things will have to fall in place to go back to the finals (bull calls against the Spurs that even your Owner Mark Cuban admits that played a major role in them winning that series,Amare to be hurt etc etc). Key to stopping Harris....Riley Ball/staying big!! and he folds like the soft pussy that he is.
