Stein: Dirk refreshed, ready to 'keep going' in pursuit of NBA le

[atxrocker]

i forgot about that pansy talking about dampier. damp is a piece of , no doubt but it's funny that dirk so publically criticised him.

[monosylab1k]

Was that a good Mavs message board? Most of the ones I have been too kinda blew. It has been over 2 years since I even visted any other message boards for the Mavs

It was the best one I've been to, but I wasn't a big contributor to that board. I've hated every other Mavs board I've ever been a part of tho.

it's a good thing Chris Webber never called out Peja....that's the only scenario I can think of with two bigger pansies than Dirk and Damp.

Why is that? There are virtually no good Mavs boards. the lone mavs forum is merely okay, but not a lot of traffic, and a virtual ghost town during the offseason.

Yea, It was a really good board. It was similar to this one. Not quite as much traffic though, because it was moderated more than this one. But it was cool. We have a new board, and have been trying to get more people to come by, and it was fairly busy for a while, but after that heartbreaking playoff loss, its been dead. I'm sure it will liven up a bit for b-ball season though.

2005 playoffs count just fine.

1) Dirk blamed himself just as much as anyone, or did you conveniently forget that?

2) Terry was fully to blame for that Nash 3 pointer. I was there at the game and 2 seconds before the shot I started to scream "MOVE UP ON HIM TERRY!" and he didn't. It may have not been right of Dirk to yell at him like that, but the Mavs had the game WON and Terry being a lazy ass wound up knocking them out of the playoffs.

3) Dampier sucks so much ass I don't care what anybody says about him. But Dirk NEVER said Dampier was the only guy playing like ...he said many times that he was playing like as well.

In addition, that was Dirk's FIRST year being the #1 leader of the team, he'd always shared that with Nash and Finley before, so for him to make a few mistakes in his first go-round is understandable.

4) I'd still love to see a time when praise is being heaped on Dirk and he took it all in without deferring to his teammates and coach. That was the original point of this anyways. Dirk has never been the egomaniac looking for personal glory (like a certain #24 in LA), if he gets praise, he gives that same praise to his teammates (complimented Terry and Dampier countless times).

Dirk acted like a little ! Even you have the adacity to blame terry, when terry kept you in the game. Dirks actions showed that he blamed terry although Marion was taking him to the hole whenever he felt like it. A classy player would have pulled terry to the side and said, that's alright terry, we still have overtime. But no, he carried a at ude in the overtime period and thru up junk whenever he touched the ball and shot the mavs out of the playoffs.

Against Houston when Dirkie made the statement about Dampier, he was being used and abused by Tmac and some unknown 6'6" player who's not even in the league now. Dirk's a pussy! If you live in a glass house, don't throw no stones!

[LakeShow]

The funniest thing here is, is that Lakeshow isn't even truly a Laker fan. He's a Rockets fan posing as a Laker fan, just so he can talk to Spurs fans about having more les. He posted on our old FWST board as Tex, or TxSucks, and all those other names he had cuz he got banned like 10 times.

Seriously Tex, I like you and all dude, and you are fun to debate b-ball with, and your opinion of Dirk is yours, but sometimes you really just talk out of your ass a little too much.

You must have me mistaken. I am a Lakers fan! How can someone with so much knowledge of their team not be a fan of that team? I bleed purple and gold!

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Stretch do you think you can send me the link? I am willing give it a shot. One board I was at there were topics like "who is hotter Dirk or Nash" or who has a sexier ass! If this one is a good board it wouldnt hurt to try it out.

[LakeShow]

There's a big difference between yelling at a guy on the court when he s up and throwing him under the bus to the press. Jordan chewed his teammates out on the court, so did Bird, Magic, among others. Your argument is disengenious. The only thing he's ever said about Damp to the press is that the Mavs are a better team when Damp plays up to his potential, which is absolutely true. That's a far cry from throwing him under the bus. Part of being a leader is sending a subtle message without completely trashing a guy.

If you're going to quote him at least do it correctly. HE SAID, "We need better play from our center position!" That said while he was being used and abused by Tmac and the unknown player!

Was that untrue? He took responsibility for his subpar play in that series, so I don't see what the problem is.

How many times has Steve Nash commented on his teammates' immaturity?

Unfortunately the FWST boards got shut down It is really a shame that the best place to talk Mavs basketball is Spurs Talk. Not that I don't love ST, it's just that it exposes the emptiness of the majority of the Mavs fan base.

I think most of the best Mavs fans are even on this board. We just dont have enough of them to make it feel anything close to a Mavs board because this site isnt intended for that.

ya that was untrue, what you needed was your so called Superstar to step up! Just like you needed him to step up against G.S!

Best mavs board I've found. Posters are pretty knowledgable, but just not a lot of traffic.

FWST stands for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. They used to have sports forums on their website but they got shut down a couple years ago.

Is Lakeshow that that used to say "partner" all the time and act like some Southern re ?

Lakeshow is no duche and he's no Southern re but I remember that guy. He owned the mavs fans on that site! I think he was just posing as a rocket fan to with the mav fans!

[jman3000]

You know what else he takes harder than anyone in the league?

The .

[jman3000]

I hope nobody did that before me.

[Fillmoe]

he had plenty of time to get refreshed

Q: Losing to Miami in the Finals after taking the 2-0 lead or losing to Don Nelson and the Warriors in the first round -- which hurts worse?

A: I still put them on the same level frustrationwise. That one year when we went to the Finals, we weren't the heavy favorites [in the playoffs] even though we should have won the Finals. This time, we were the heavy favorites and we said from the beginning that anything but a championship would be a huge disappointment. I rank them both on a high level ofrustration. But you gotta keep going.


Q: After the last two playoff endings, some of us find it surprising that the Mavs will go into next season with no major roster changes. Do you?

A: We had trouble with one team, not 29. We still have a good team. I don't think it's time to panic because we had trouble with one team over three years. To win 67 games was very, very special. We just met a hot team. I don't want to think that everything we're doing in Dallas is wrong because we lost to one hot team. I still believe we have some great pieces, with a great coach and a great owner and a great organization that will hopefully win it all one day.

Hey Dirk, if you haven't noticed by now, the playoffs are set up to where THE BEST TEAM WINS THE FINALS. No you were not "supposed to win the Finals". Whether you're the "heavy favorites" or not - You weren't in 2006 and you weren't in 2007, only to ESPN - You have to go out and play. The so-called "favorite" hasn't won since 2002 - Spurs, Pistons, Spurs, Heat, Spurs - the last 5 champs have never been the "favorites" by media standards. Lakers, Lakers, Pistons, Dallas supposedly, and Dallas supposedly again, in that order, we're the last 5 "favorites". Blame ESPN.

Had trouble with one team in 3 years? How about Miami in '06? You guys don't play too well vs. Utah either...Phoenix seems to have your number lately too. You all are at the bottom of the elite teams. Third best at the most.

I love that Phoenix and Dallas made no changes.

You are the biggest spurs homer ever. you cant show any respect for any other teams but the spurs. the mavs have a good team, so do the suns. your anti-anything not spurs. cut the and show some respect these are good teams who work their ass off, who cares if they havnt won a le yet, their getting there and are excited about bouncing back. look at the colts in the nfl. they always struggled(peyton just like dirk) and they finally won one. dont say a team sucks when they perform as well as the mavs and suns have done the past few years. a team may struggle but not at all does any NBA team "suck". id like to see you play against those losers named amare and dirk.

[mavs>spurs2]

I really believe this year WILL be the Mavs or Suns year. Not to take anything away from the Spurs, but it will be alot harder this go round if the Mavs get their together and Amare stays on the bench.
