Mavs Giving Kevin Willis A Workout

[mardigan]

Willis is going to give Dirk a concusion in practice throwing those bows he throws

[mabber]

you keep dodging the 2nd part of the question. Why did Mavs consider/try to getting Miller and Pippen???

Sorry, I didn't think it was worth responding to. I'll respond.

They never tried to get either of those guys. I think Cuban mentioned Miller to the press one day but he's not making the basketball decisions. I don't recall anyone in the Mav's organization saying anything about Pippen. The Mavs were on Pippen's short list but that doesn't mean the Mavs were interested.

[mardigan]

Yea, I never heard anything about the Mavs going for Pipp, I think it was all speculation

Newsflash, if a team PUBLICLY mentions a player's name and the possibility of them joining, this means they are seriously considering if not seriously trying to get them.

Cuban mentioned Miller's name at one time and Pippen on another. but you can still be in denial if you want.

Pippen was never mentioned.

[Flight3107]

Pippen was NEVER mentioned, the ONLY guy that Donnie Nelson publicly mentioned that the Mavs were going after was Chris Webber. NEVER did Donnie ever mention bringing in Miller or Pippen.

[LEONARD]

I guess Pro's vs Joe's wasn't paying enough

I think he's on it again this Thursday...I know Couture is...

There is a difference between being in basketball shape and good shape. I know that Willis is in great shape for a normal person, but I doubt he is in basketball shape

I'm sure he could handle a 2-3 min stint here or there though...

You're right...the Mavs are struggling mightily...

The Mavs are 2-1 vs. the Rockets with their only loss being when Yao was actually playing (and they killed the Mavs). I wouldn't say that was "straight up" owning them. Plus, they've always had trouble with Yao.

The Mavs are 3-1 against the Rockets this year, with an average margin of over 12 points in those wins. The one loss? Second game of the season that started 0-4 with an average margin of defeat at 13 points. Doesn't matter if Yao was playing, because the Mavs were playing horrible to start the season. Last year the Mavs swept the Rockets 4-0, with an average margin of over 16 points. What part of 7-1 over the last two years by 14 points per game would not be considered "owned".

If your owner wants to sign an old Kevin Willis then more power to him. Just don't give silly pretenses that it's all about Yao. Last year in 05-06 in the three games he averaged 23/10, which were his season averages. In 04-05 he played in 4 games and averaged 15/9. Even this year when he scored 36 in the second game of the season, he only had 6 rebounds, so it's not like he dominated both ends of the floor.

Ok, I missed one of the victories. It's tough to keep track of them all there have been so many

I'm just repeating what I heard Donnie Nelson (GM) say on the radio in regards to Yao & Shaq so take it up with him if you think he's lying.

[ponky]

lol at these little spurs fans thinking that any MINOR change to the roster is because the mavs need to worry about the spurs! this is ing priceless blathering, keep it up es! anyway, how many spurs fans whined last month because the spurs front office didn't sign anyone? all this ing and moaning about the roster all season long and now spurs fans are laughing at a possible THIRD string addition who will obviously be used as a THIRD FREAKIN' OPTION? you guys are too ing funny.

NEWSALERT: there are other teams the mavs should consider and get ready for besides the spurs. we match up just fine with the spurs.

Not saying he is lying. Just saying he may want to look at the stat sheets a bit closer. Maybe he should give Shawn Kemp a workout.

willis is going to be the mavs third option?

when it comes to defense, stat sheets don't always tell the whole story the way they do on offense, surely you know that

[ponky]

who knows and who cares? we have diop and damp and that's good enough for me at that position. it wasn't like mbenga would've done much more damage on either end and lately, diop has been developing the O game a bit more

You got a dirty mouth on you dont ya? Spur fans just want to jump on anything they can, especially if its a guy that was part of our 03 team. If this was Steve Smith they would still be doing the same thing. I doubt he makes the roster anyway.

i guess i'll have to be clearer to compete with jeffdrums - their third option on offense?!!?

i just woke up from a long nap and i'm feeling friskier as the playoffs near... expect the smack to get worse but i've generally been *good* all year!

no, none of our centers are our third options on O...we get giddy when they score ten points in a game!

I believe Avery actually met Kemp during the season to determine if he wanted to give Kemp a workout (at least they were scheduled to meet). Not sure what transpired but I don't think they got as far as giving him a workout.

they probably had lunch, and kemp ended up eating both plates.

good observation. the question is what do you have to hide, punky?

[Trainwreck2100]

They should get him to design their uniforms being that he was a fashion design major.
