I hate to say it, but

With the lockout it's hard to say what would have happened. In a normal schedule, if they don't clean house they likely repeat.

mavfan tried to downplay chandlers loss and dirk's confirmed TOSB status, but it appears the delusion is wearing off, well done scros, i knew you'd come around eventually

Everytime you get a thought in that cement head of yours doesn't mean you have to commit it to a Thread.

Every single mav fan on this forum and elsewhere should be mourning the loss of Tyson Chandler right now. At first, I was on board with letting him go. He was asking for too much money, and Deron/Dwight will be free agents after this year. The likelihood of a repeat seemed small. Then we brought in Carter, West, and to a lesser extent Odom who is still a ticking x-factor who could get it together at any time. Now here we are in what seems to be position to have a shot at it, even without Tyson.

Now imagine just how much stronger we'd be WITH him. Championship opportunities are hard to come by. You don't sacrifice a bird in the hand for 2 in the bush. Last year, the man was key in the Miami series. Without him roaming and patrolling the paint, lebron and wade have a parade to the rim every time down the floor. Big daddy was the only thing that was going to keep those 2 out of the paint at least enough for us to pull it off. I feel like at this point, we're looking at a repeat of last years finals. And without Tyson on our side this time, I just don't feel nearly as confident.

This thread really makes me appreciate Kobe that much more. It's hard as winning a le....Kobe is the only player Since Kobe / Shaq to repeat as champ without another first ballot Hall of fame player on his squad.

So I guess the Moral of your story is Appreciate Kobe.
