oh, and dont forget defense. that could help some too. and passing, since he is a point guard.
Spurs dont really need him to do all that , cept the shooting, which has improved over the years.

At Mav Fans. Sensitive much? I'm calling it like I see it. Blame Avery, Dirk, Kidd etc all you want, but when your role players don't know their roles and continuously don't show up in big moments or do the little things to help the team win, ur bound to keep losing.
Case 1:
After the Kidd trade, in the game vs. San Antonio. .35 sec left, Mavs have the ball, Avery takes out Kidd (which of course was a mistake), but instead they do a pick and role..Terry attempts to go one on one and shoot a fadeaway jump shot behind the foul line (which I believe was partially blocked) and misses. Meanwhile, Stack is standing wide open at the 3 point line. Wrong play at the Wrong moment.
Case 2:
Next game against the Spurs. Spurs lose Dirk, however, are still in the game in the 3rd or 4th quarter I believe. They're starting to get the momentum back after the Spurs go on an 18-0 run to take the lead. Stack loses his cool, commits a bad and cheap shot at Ginobili, gets a technical foul, Ginobili goes on a tear after he gets mad by the Stackhouse play, scores the Spurs next 5 points, momemtum and game back on the Spurs side. Wrong play at the wrong moment.
These are just 2 examples I saw against the Spurs. You know in close games as they usually are in the playoffs, it's little things and little details to execution that often make or break a team. Guys like Stackhouse and Terry often don't pay attention to little details like that.
Bottomline, Terry and Stackhouse have consistently failed. Their time is up. We need new blood. Build around Kidd, Dirk, Bass and Howard for another year. I really believe they are so better off tanking this year and saving that draft pick. I do want Avery gone also. Next year would look so much more promising.

Overtime of game 7 of the 2006 WCSF. Stackhouse hits a couple jumpers and Tim Duncan gets bent over & raped by Diop.
You're right, Stackhouse never comes through in close playoff games. And the Spurs always do.
This season, yes they have. Their time in Dallas has definitely run it's course.
But let's not forget that those guys DID make some huge plays for us.
Stretch it is all good brother. The Mavs are going to run the table once Dirk returns. They will beat the Spurs round 1 and go onto win the 2008 le. Relax bro these guys are champions and they are going to prove it over the next couple of months. Doom and gloom wont be the theme of the Mavs much longer. Im being patient but I have so much faith in this team that I just KNOW deep down inside they are going to shock the world when it is least expected.
Guess we dont have to worry about that anymore, huh? Well, you still got Damp, and he's raped the Mavs for years.
The abysmal regression of Josh Howard HAS to be partly to blame for this. He took 3 steps back this season.
How many rings and Finals MVP's did Parker have handed to him on a silver platter from Tim Duncan?
I don't care what any of you guys say, without Tim Duncan, Tony Parker is just an average point guard. No all-star selections. No 50% FG shooting. Just another PG. At least Terry and Stack have proven themselves to be good basketball players with horrible ass teams.
haha, wouldn't that be an interesting 1st round matchup? I don't think anyone would have thought that they could be meeting in the first round.
You're kidding me right? I look at that as completely different:
Case 3B:
Terry loses his cool in Game 5, with the Mavs having a 3-1 lead in the series, punches Finley, gets suspended for game 6, Spurs go on to win Game 5 as well as Game 6 and if not for a tacky and bad foul by Ginobili in the closing seconds of Game 7, Mavs fans would be singing a different tune.
I love how Mavs fans continually look at the 2006 defeat of the Spurs in the Semi-Finals as their idea of a "championship" They didn't go on to win anything, they didn't completely dominate the Spurs in that series, it came down to one tiny possession in a Game 7 that could have gone either way, and they managed to collapse the following year as well.
Where was Stackhouse and Terry in the GS series? Where were Stackhouse and Terry in the Heat series for games 3-6?
Is this guy serious or just trying to be positive? Or is he on drugs? Dude, give it up. Time to admit this team is done. This team will not get better until parts are replaced. Period.
Actually, Stack gave us some HUGE buckets in the Heat series, especially in game 6. In fact, he was the only one making plays aside from Dirk. He hit a couple very big 3's there toward the end for us.

Seriously, you're the one getting over-sensitive on this subject. We all agreed with you that they haven't been huge for us when we needed them most, mainly this season. But since we didn't say that they are the two most garbage, POS players that the league has ever seen and that they deserve to be chopped and fed to the hungry, you get all butt-hurt and start talking out your ass.
Most all spurs fans here would agree that those two guys in the past have had some big games and hit plenty of HUGE shots for us previously. They would also agree that they have sucked this year. So what is your problem?
As a fan looking in from the outside, I would have given Damp some more minutes.
But look at it this way, we did not have Dirk or Stack, and the game IN golden state was still pretty close.
I'm convinced that these mavericks are 1 solid penetrating guard away from a championship. A guard who can drive to the rim for an easy basket or get to the free throw line. Didn't Dywane Wade and Baron Davis give us a schooling on this?
The thing is---Stackhouse is now our best penetrating guard. Yeah the senior citizen who just happens to play for the Dallas Mavericks.
I love Jason Kidd, I really do. But whatever intangibles and distributing skills are just not good enough to cover up for what Devin Harris brought to this team.
AJ might get fired because of general outrage we all know about. Or he might not, Cuban's shirt might have said it all.
Either way, I think the Mavs still need to get that guard if they want to have a legitimate shot at Larry O'Brien.
FWIW, April's Fools day is tomorrow.
Yep we're one Devin Harris and Desagna Diop from winning a championship.
His intangibles and distributing skills are not being used because of Avery's terrible coaching, and love for a half-court, isolation offense. In that sort of system, it would be better to have Harris. But the fact is, to run those systems, you have to have a consistent post scorer, which we don't have. We need to have more motion, and have a more uptempo offense, that is still capable of running a half-court set efficiently, like we did the year we went to the finals.
You're three years away from being a fan of another team.
The thing is, uptempo offense hasn't won since the Showtime Lakers. Are you sure you want to play Nellie ball again?
