Time to show Damp some love

[mabber]

Sometimes I seriously hate being a Mavs fan in this day and age.

It's funny how eager Mavs fans are willing to on a player as soon as they're gone, forgetting any good that they mave have contributed to this team. Just because he didn't develop as quickly as Josh Howard, suddenly Daniels is total . They forget that the guy made big contributions for this team at times, and always shot at a high percentage. But then again, what else would I expect from a group of fans classless enough to boo Michael Finley.

I wasn't ting on him. I was just stating my opinion of his game and how he never seemed to get any better (still hasn't). I was really hoping he'd improve but he didn't. I was hopeful after how well he played the last 2 months of the 2004-05 season (I think?) but that never carried over. Whether it's due to not enough playing time or the fact that he can't stay healthy is yet to be determined. Nothing has changed with him in Indiana so there's still no evidence that it ever will. I realize that you don't care what's happening with him now but that's all we have to go on at this point. Why would you not take into consideration how he's doing in Indiana?

FinDog was and will always be my favorite Mav player. I, personally, don't know any Mav fans that boo'd Mike but there were some (I think mostly in fun-allbeit bad taste IMO cuz the Spurs were in town)(no one in my section was booing) but to group all Mav fans as classless cuz a few boo'd Finley and a couple disagree with you about the abilities of Daniels & Damp is kinda silly, don't you think?

It's because I don't think you can judge a player by how he does on another team, because it's a completely different set of cir stances. To say that he wouldn't improve in Dallas simply because he hasn't improved in Indiana is basically saying that the Dallas system of developing players is only as good as Indiana's system.

people can disagree with me all they want. that's fine. and it was raining boos on Finley in the playoffs, not just a few.

Diop is still better than Dampier. But in all honesty I don't think Damp is horrible. He's got some value to this team. He's just incredibly overpaid, and definitely overrated by Mavs fans.
