Sixers@Mavs GAME THREAD!!!!!

Howards too foul prone. Looks like Dirk showed up in the 2nd half, I saw the boxscore at half and it was pretty ugly.
See you guys Thursday, spurs win!

Howard may be the best player on the team right now. And Dirk would have had the ugliest triple-double ever if he had pulled it off. It seriously looked like he had a table reserved at Applebee's that he couldn't wait to get to.

Makes sense, kids eat for free on Tuesdays.

That's why I keep saying that the team needs to run more plays for Howard. I think that he needs at least 15 shots a game. There is no reason why not. And not just shots off of rebounds or kickouts, I'm talking about plays run exclusively for him. They need to run less plays through Dirk, and more through Howard and Harris, as it will help free up Dirk to do what he does best... shoot the J. And Dirk needs to keep doing what hes doing, by making smart reads and passes when he sees the double team... he has improved on that vastly this season, and now the rest of the team needs to utilize that by making better cuts for Dirk to get easy shots.

I agree, with Dirk's improved passing and everybody trying to double him, this team needs to stop relying on iso and get alot more movement in their offense.

Although there are still times where Dirk just needs to grow a sack and beat the double team. I still would rather see Dirk take the big shots than pass out to Harris or even Terry.

What the do we gotta do to get Dirk to play with just a little fire out there? That got has such ty ing body language out there, he's playing with ZERO confidence.

His PR person deserves a raise, because Dirk said all the right things this offseason about his mental state.....and right now it's EXTREMELY obvious that this little pussy has no desire to be a leader and play with some ing balls.

Again, I thought you said you were going to find it hard to care about the season.

Agreed.
