Mavs 2015

lol, classic!

Too many new faces is the same problem the Mavs have always had. It's a recurring theme since Cuban has owned them. Thanks goodness I was born in SA. Go Spurs Go!!!!!

Honestly, though, I feel a bit bad for Dirk in all of it. Here is most definitely the best shooting big man of all time. By any reasoning he should probably have 2 or 3 rings at least instead of just the one. I'm glad he got the one though, because a lot of NBA greats finish careers without ever doing that.

And RC is probably the 3rd best coach in the NBA, but he doesn't have any continuity to work with in regards to players.

I would agree that too many new faces has been the same problem the past two or three years but it hasn't been a reoccurring problem since Cuban bought the team. We've had "brief" periods where we've kept a core of players like most recently when Jason Kidd was on the team. But it's the nature of the sport and especially with successful teams. It's a rare thing to see now a days and only a handful of times can a team keep it together like San Antonio. Hell look at Miami, they had like a one year "dynasty" the first time they won a championship and didn't keep it together much longer the next time at four winning seasons with Finals appearance but only two championships.

And Carlisle was actually voted as the second best coach in the league (can't remember by who) behind Pop. Just curious but who are your first two best coaches?

Good statement win tonight for Mavs against the Clips. Dirk played out of his mind, Pachulia was banging in the middle getting work done and Wes Matthews came alive finally. I think once this team gets fully healthy, they can contend in the west, probably 6-8 seed but good enough to get in.

Agreed. It was a playoff atmosphere in the AAC last night with how the crowd was into the game and loved how they treated Jordan every time he touched the ball. And I don't care what anyone says, it looked like it was getting to him as he pretty much stopped playing offense. Whether that was coaches decision or not but it helped seal their fate IMO as even Blake was getting frustrated.

The only thing I can take away from last nights game is those uniforms are god awful.

Agreed.

Just dropping in to say fuck Deandre Jordan! The tweet the Mavs sent post game was pretty funny.

I need to install Twitter again.

Some of us don't tweet, what did it say?

And yes, fuck that no free throw shootin mofo!

Fuck ya!

After the Mavs mucked it up and let the Pelicans get their first win, they've played pretty well in the last week, albeit against average teams (except the Clipps). They're sporting a 7-4 record. Now that I've said it, I suppose they'll go on a 10 game losing streak.

DeMarcus Cousins trade rumors looming. Thoughts?

No way Carlisle really wants him. Sounds like a Cuban big splash move. They are going to need alot more than Cousins this year. Just my .02.

I thought the Houston game was a solid victory. Spurs next Wednesday will be interesting.

So just read that Houston fired Kevin McHale. WTF? I know they are off to a bad start but it's to early in the season to be blaming the coach or anybody else for that matter.

Wow....good kill for D!

[silverhatch]

That was a very solid win. I think they are play better than they are right now and need to be. I just hope they can keep it up for a while.

Ya that was a good game last night. Boston is young and hungry and just came off winning games on the road against OKC and Houston and could have easily won last night. I've gotta admit, I had my doubts about this team before the season started but I think they are coming along well. Three players in particular have really surprised me; ZaZa, Felton, and Powell. Maybe Felton more so because he was a known quantity and I considered him dead weight on the Tyson deal but he really came into his own the series again Houston in the first round last year and so far this season. What's his contract look like? I haven't bothered to look. Powell was a nice replacement for who we lost on the Rondo trade but I still think we got the raw deal on that one, we gave up to much. Hopefully Powell will keep improving and we keep him around. And Zaza, I never heard of this guy before we got him and I thought we were really screwed in the center position but he's really coming out and the numbers look good for him. Screw Jordan.

So what do you guys think of about the McHale deal? He got screwed on that but glad to see the league is supporting him. Danny Ainge has already offered him a job and he's a shoe in for another TV analyst position. Even though Houston won last night it took them OT and a big game from Hardeen. I hope they crumble.

Yep, I dont know what to think of my Spurs yet...they look good like 30% of the time only....

Dirk passed Shaq last night! Amazing player and amazing career. I only wish he could have worn a better looking jersey when he did it.

[silverhatch]

It will take about a year and a half now to pass Wilt Chamberlain. Then another year to pass Jordan.

[silverhatch]

If all goes well.

ha, this is hilarious:
