It doesn't help when Avery still starts Devean George and Howard proceeds to go 2/11.Nowitzki, Howard, and Kidd with a combined -34 for the game. Starting five posted a -47.
Okie dokie.
chris paul has been fantastic this season.

that's part of the Mavs' problem, they can't match him up with quicker guards on a regular basis.
when he and JET are on the floor, JET can play the point, but he's never exactly been known for his defense either.
Kidd is still a plus help defender, but in terms on on-ball defense, the Mavs are looking at having 3 or 4 guys on the court who are below average at crunch time. only howard can be counted on to stay between his man and the rim.
And I want you to explain why Kidd wasn't defending Paul...
You see...had you been an NBA Fan 5 years ago, you'd have seen Jason Kidd openly begging for help with Tony Parker in the finals...and asking to not have to guard him.
You'd have also seen...the Nets cease to guard Parker with Kidd and start guarding him with Kerry Kittles.
He can't guard speedy PG's...
FACT.
And he'll be the first one to admit it.
That's why we're happy...because Devin Harris guarded Parker better than any player in the NBA....and to make it worse, he scored on Parker while he was doing it...unlike Kidd.
You guys started giving us when you got Devin Harris to put on Parker.
This isn't spin...old school Spurfans knew this was going to happen and this is why no one cared about the Kidd trade, and if anything were openly rooting for it....if it meant no more Harris.
Vaya Con Dios Devin Harris...you ing pain in the ass.
Whatever makes Spur fan feel more secure in the pants..
One more time. With feeling.
u forgot erica
Why the would anyone watch a Nets-Spurs Finals? Kids from the Make-A-Wish Foundation would rather opt for a quick death than to have to sit through that. Nice try at your little insult, though.
All the credit goes to Paul. He hit some amazing shots tonight. The Hornets would be below .500 if it weren't for him. The Mavs switched off their screens a lot tonight and Paul found himself confronted with Dampier or George. From there, it was a walk into the paint for an easy shot. The high screen killed the Mavs tonight, as it has for most of the year. But it's not like we saw Paul bring it up, clear everyone out to be 1-1 on Kidd and then proceed to juke his ass or throw up a 3 in his face. Team defense on Paul was and yes - Kidd was obviously part of the team in these lapses.
So they wouldn't do stupid like trading away the key to beating the champs for a liability against them.
Then again...you are Mav and you wear stupidity with pride.

And I promise you....Kidd cannot guard Parker. I look forward to you finding this out the hard way...dumbass.
PS: The Spurs defense is predicated on disrupting the passing of dominant PG's...it does that better than it does anything else.
That's why they annually lead the league in fewest APG allowed...and flat own teams with high assist PGs...like the Nash Mavs, and Suns.
You guys started beating us when your offense stopped being predicated on passing and started being about one on one attacking...we didn't have the athletes to put on all of them.
Note the season you guys started kicking our ass was when your assists per game total fell substantially...
In short...if you get your dumb ing Mavs skull out of your ass you'll see why we are happy about this trade...and not, oh say....the trade for Shaq.
must suck to know the high pick n roll with tim and parker is going to be in full effect come playoff time
What's your ing problem? I answered your question of the Mavs defensive issues tonight and you proceed to act like a child. You think that maybe, just maybe the Mavs might be concerned about the 6 other teams that will make the playoffs in the West and not just your precious Spurs? Everyone is acting like Devin Harris is God's gift to basketball and that the Mavs wouldn't come close if it weren't for him. There's a 7 foot tall German that you seem to have forgotten about. He'll still get his against your guys. Get off the ing Kool-Aid for once and take a step back.
I love the bull around here that it's cool that Shaq is still a bit rusty in his first game back for the Suns but Kidd and the Mavs get on for losing. You ain't , whottt.
Chris Paul threw up 33 and 12 on the Mavs back in December, with defensive ace Devin Harris in the lineup. No doubt Harris was a matchup problem for the Spurs, but the Mavs made this deal because he's not the distributor that Kidd is. What good is it if you can beat San Antonio if you can never advance far enough into the playoffs to face them?
It's a risky move, but one the Mavs felt that they had to make. The Spurs are the defending champs, but last I checked, you have to beat four teams to win a le, not just them. Chris Paul makes a lot of people look bad, not just Jason Kidd. We just got a new PG, and it was obvious they weren't in sync because they had never played together before....not knowing where to set picks, where guys want it, a lot of turnovers because guys didn't know where Kidd was going to set them up. It's going to take time to build continuity and chemistry. The biggest potential drawback in the trade is that they have only two months to get that on-court chemistry going, not because they gave away a couple of matchup killers that cause problems for a conference rival. We still have Josh, Jet and Dirk, who are all Spurs killers, and now they have a PG who is going to make their life even easier?

So Dirk gets his and the Mavs can't get any stops against the Spurs. Brilliant trade.
Hahahahahaa...with feeling cabron!
smegmattt is the worst kind of fan. He's a frontrunner that jumped from the Mavs to the Spurs bandwagon. I think I'll turn in my MFFL shirt and go root for KG and the Celtics.
Um...Shaq hasn't played in a month...
Kidd played like...last night.
for the Suns but Kidd and the Mavs get on for losing. You ain't , whottt.
Yeah...we're just trying to on the Mavs...because we all love the Suns here.
Dumb .
Say what you want...Kidd can't guard Parker, Harris could...that's why we're happy about this trade.
Yeah, it's too bad we traded away Oscar Robertson in order to get Kidd. Beat the Spurs, and you win a le. Right? What were the Mavs thinking?
Stop listening to the bull ...I have never rooted for the Mavs ever.
ing idiot...if I was bandwagooner, I never would have been on the Mavs, becuase the've sucked worse than the Spurs except for like 2 years in the eighties.
Think about it for a second...
I wonder why your fellow Spurs buddies call you a "recovering Mavs fan" then. It's okay whottt, we know you didn't have the heart to stick with your team during all the bad times. Better to root for a team that gets the first pick in the draft every ten years.
*Waiting for the four paragraphs of nothing but profanity from whottt...*
Does whottt have tourette's?
Is it more difficult to be 7' tall, 300 pounds and camp out around 16 square feet for about 30 minutes after practicing with your new team for more than a week? Or to come to a new team and have to run the point with a bunch of strangers you haven't known for more than a day all while trying to learn offensive and defensive sets on the fly?
Go yourself, whottt. ing wannabe Internet tough guy.
Remaining Mavs Schedule: 15 home games, 13 road games, 5 back to backs.
15 games against + .500 teams, 13 games against - .500 teams.
where's that guy "ghost writer"? I'm sure he has some comical excuse for his boy Kidd, most likely featuring triple-doubles
It's okay whottt, we know you didn't have the heart to stick with your team during all the bad times....
You idiot..there was never a better time to be a Mav fan than a Spursfans....the Mavs are unbandwaggonable from the Spurs. Even when they were good in the late eighties, Drob was on the way to the Spurs.
The Mavs have been compared to the Spurs since the day they entered the NBA....when would have been this time I was a Mav fan and not a Spur fan?
When, when was this window of opportunity?
This Golden Age of Mav Basketball?
.
Better to root for a team that gets the first pick in the draft every ten years.
Better to root for a team that has only had like 4 losing records in it's entire history...as opposed to one that has been the joke of the NBA for 20 of it's 27 years....bandwaggoner, or not.
Seriously...there was no time for a bandwaggon jumper to jump from the Spurs to the Mavs....stop flattering yourself and realize how bad the Mavs have sucked for nearly all of their history.
