Root for Dirk

[Cane]

Watching a glorified free throw shooting contest also gets old tbh

I dont have anything against Dirk, he is a clean player. Cant stand that arch-criminal gangsta Terry though. Once the Spurs were out of it I dont care who wins.

who ever could have somthing against Dirk?

he is german...can you think of an evil german ever?

Does Cuban deserve credit for the Mavs turnabout? I don't know.


He purchased the team in January of 2000, and the team was already in the midst of a .500 season (40-42); more importantly, Nelson had already done the hard lifting by securing Dirk and Nash through savvy trades:

from wikipedia: Nelson worked out draft day deals with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Phoenix Suns: the Mavericks wanted Nowitzki and Suns reserve point guard Steve Nash; the Bucks desired muscular forward Robert Traylor, who was projected to be drafted before Nowitzki; and the Suns had set their sights on forward Pat Garrity, who was projected as a low first round pick. In the draft, the Mavericks drafted Traylor with their sixth pick, and the Bucks selected Nowitzki with their ninth and Garrity with their nineteenth pick. The Mavericks then traded Traylor to the Bucks for Nowitzki and Garrity, and they in return traded the latter to Phoenix for Nash.

What part of the Mavs success as a franchise can be attributed to other than Dirk? Nash? Nelson? I don't konw.

can't believe how Dallas messed up its sal-cap that way.

worst trade ever.

Dirk is cool. Would have loved to have him on my team instead of playing against him all these years.

But... JET is a tool, Cuban is a rich attention , and most importantly, Mavs/Cowboys/Stars fans of North Dallas are insufferable Ed Hardy and Affliction wearing s.

Mavs winning a ring would give them carte blanche to take their ness to HOF levels.

I hate Jason Terry... that over rules all else. I have struggled on who to root for. I realize aside from Dirk I have no one to root for. But I can root AGAINST Terry.

Now the problem I run into is... if its Mavs/Miami in the finals... who do you hate LESS? I hate Terry the most, but I hate LeBron second with his bull . And I want to see him almost cry again like after the Spurs swept Cleveland.

Dirk's a good guy and all that, but no way could I ever root for dallas.

[JudynTX]

Nope, classy or not.

[Admidave50]

no, can't root for the Mavs dude, just can't!

But Mavs was fantastic in game 1 against Thunder yesterday
