Brendan mf'n Haywood

[badfish22]

Similar style of play.

Whens Bosh thinking about entering the 3-point shootout? He should be great. Him and Dirk are very similar.

[badfish22]

Mavs are undefeated with Haywood starting. 4-0

[Pelicans78]

More Polished is another way of saying Dirk is better. Other than that, I don't disagree with what you said. Dirk is a 1.5 and Bosh is a 2.

Dirk is better even though Bosh is putting up better numbers (due to playing in a up-tempo offense)

You'll easily find the 4-0 isn't convincing at all by checking the teams played during this run.

[Rogue]

except for the win over Magic, of course.

[DubMcDub]

son it's just the concern I mean. Haywood doesn't give you a better chance for win when it's the Lakers that you're going to match up with, nor does Caron Butler. At finest the trade only puts you somewhere parallel to Denver Nuggets while you were already at this level before the trade being made. haywood plays like a beast against ty players like the Pacers soft asses, which resembles Erick Dampier but whenever their opposing turns tough and equally beefy guys, they get curbstomped.

Is this English?

[HarlemHeat37]

Bosh > Dirk..best PF in the NBA..

Convincing that we are compe ors? no.
Convincing that we have improved from pre-trade? Yes

Before the trade we were getting beat my Minnesota at home. At the very least the trade has re energized the Mavs. Most notably Jason Kidd who is playing like he is 25 again.
We have to wait to see if the trade is just a momentary surge of energy or a legit boost of overall talent, to the point that we can actually contend. Wednesdays game will help.

Bosh > Dirk..best PF in the NBA..

If Bosh > Dirk then Bosh >>>>> Duncan

[HarlemHeat37]

If Bosh > Dirk then Bosh >>>>> Duncan

Bosh is better than Duncan at this point too, but not even close to that margin..Howard>Bosh>Nowitzki=Duncan=Gasol..

[Ghazi]

Dirk > Bosh/Howard

lol Spurs

[HarlemHeat37]

You can argue that Dirk is better than Bosh, I'll listen to a convincing argument, but there's no argument to Dirk being better than Howard..Dwight is pretty easily the best big man in the NBA..

[dirk4mvp]

Dwight can jump high. Impressive. , either Dirk or Bosh has better post moves than Dwight. At least Dirk has punished someone on the block before (the trio of Denver last year). Can't say the same for Howard.

[Bob Lanier]

His hand injury came at an inopportune time in his career, because he had just started to become a much more well rounded player and a more assertive player two seasons ago. But, his other problem was that he played with three volume scorers and had basically no sets run for him in Washington. I think he's capable of putting up around 18 and 12 if he were to get consistent minutes and touches out of the offense. Solid, solid player imo.

Also that he played for a genuine moron his entire career in Eddie Jordan, who sat him on the bench during crucial defensive possessions in the playoffs to play Michael Ruffin at center.

Like i said before, it wont take long (if it hasnt already) for Dallas fan to realise Brendan Haywood will be the real difference maker from the trade, not Caron Butler.

Dude is a beast. Obviously he's no Matt Bonner, which is why the Spurs didnt need to make more of a play.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Cuban would want win a ring with this trade coz it is going to cost him a fortune next season

They both are. Butler's defense and passing ability is underrated.

going 4-1 when playing 5 games in 8 nights with no practices right after All-Star weekend and a massive trade is pretty damn good.

[Ode to Triple Ocho]

We stacked!

two versions of eric dampier don't equate to stacked

[mavsfan1000]

Haywood is a better player. Dampier can't catch the ball or keep up with more athletic big man. Haywood can.

[Findog]

Haywood can catch the ball in traffic and finish, something that Mittenhands Damp can't do. That's why Haywood is a double-double threat with Kidd, whereas Damp isn't.

damp is basically avg a double double per 36 min

You aren't expecting haywood to keep that 11/11 statline are you?

[Findog]

damp is basically avg a double double per 36 min

in a contract year. He's only averaged a D/D per 36 minutes once his entire Dallas career.

As long as he's getting heavy minutes with Damp out injured, I expect him to.

notice the qualifier 'basically'. 9.7pts 11.6rbs is basically a dub dub per 36

As long as he's getting heavy minutes with Damp out injured, I expect him to.

well he won't and he really doesn't change the Mavs destiny either way
