This was a great series. A series to remember. You have a great team, you really surprised me. I guess injuries played a big part in your early struggles, but you stepped up big time in the playoffs.
We are all lucky to have this two teams going off against each other every year like there’s no tomorrow. Good luck in your quest for the 5th. I guess our time will come some time. See you next season.

I don’t mean to be contrary about Dirk, but I just don’t see this. Yeah, he often delivers 30+ point games when it matters in LOSING efforts.

But it’s that “LOSING” word that always convinces me that he truly doesn’t have what it takes, a killer instinct, or a champions mentality. “Winners” do what it takes to win, regardless, and are successful. Dirk just never has been. I think that’s pretty telling.

I think I’d rather even be a horrible player on a winning team than a phenominal player on a perennial failure.

by biolb on Apr 30, 2010 1:05 AM CDT up reply actions  

David had tons of talent around him? Seriously? Other than Sean, name 3 others who today aren’t coaching at a Y somewhere.

David was an impeccable ALL-AROUND talent (unlike Dirk) but not the best on-court leader or player with killer instinct. Teammates from this time period even said as much.

All I said is that I don’t see “star that steps up.” I see a star that 3 out of the last 4 years has been bounced in the 1st round. In addition, for Dirk’s time in Dallas and being 1 of 4 teams all-time to have 10 50+ win seasons…. they have 0 rings, the only team in this catagory to have that stat. Those facts don’t give with “star that steps up” in my book. You can’t blame his team, when many talented pieces have been put around him and he’s proven capable of disappointing expectations whether his team is able or not.

It’s simple. Winners win. Period. Want me to consider him a “star that steps up?” Have him will his team to win a game that matters. Not even a series. Just one game.

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

He’s probably a really swell guy and he has a beautiful jump shot. That’s awesome. He’ll have those things to be proud of when every other “star who steps up” is still playing next week.

2006 WC semifinals, Mavericks vs. Spurs, Game 7 @ San Antonio. Dirk scores the basket, and-1 to send the game to OT which the Mavs eventually win. Of course Dallas spectacularly collapsed in the Finals via Ref-gate, but there’s your “game that matters.”

That’s true. Dirk did win… in that one game. Regardless of whether you believe HE actually won that, or Manu allowed him to win…. the result was the same and he won. That day.

Good catch. I stand corrected. There was that one day four years ago that Dirk won a big game.

sorry sima, i fucking loathe the concept, and always have. its bullshit talk in my opinion. this isn’t about dirk, or the admiral, or anyone. its about a stupid idea that means jack shit in my books.

some mix well, and some don’t, because of rhythmic structure, harmonic structure, chords, keys, quantization…sorry, i’ll stop.

the main reason i don’t believe in mojo is because i used to believe it as a kid. watching tennis, wimbledon, with my mum as a kid, i honestly believed that if i was sitting in a particular way, and then changed position, the person i wanted to win would lose, because it seemed to happen a few times. hey, i was like 7 years old, it made sense!

If it’s any consolation, Popovich did the same thing to us last year when he held out Hill saying that “these playoffs aren’t for George Hill”. He’s slightly holding out Blair, too but not as much (ie. he even told DeJuan during a timeout, “Just be DeJuan Blair”). RC will figure it out.

And oh yeah, Cuban’s paying him 2 more years and still paying Avery, so that’s pretty messed up.

Do you think that he could make Avery keep coaching? I mean, is Avery technically still a Mavs employee? That would be awesome. If I were an owner and needed to fire a coach, I’d just make him be my butler or something.

The other problem is that Cuban always trades for talent, but never necessarily talent that works well together. Marion didn’t fit on this team, neither did Butler. Haywood kind of did, but not as the single defensive player on the court.

Great trade. They’re going to be stronger next year because of it.

by vice on Apr 29, 2010 11:28 PM CDT up reply actions  

Well I think this trade makes my point exactly. Haywood had one good game in the playoffs. And he (and Dampier) were key to this series because they allowed the Spurs to play off a man and double Dirk on occasion. How many Big shots did Haywood hit off of double teams? How many big defensive plays? Offensive rebounds?

As for Butler, he came up big at times scoring the ball, but he killed the teams ball movement. A team that depends on fluid ball movement (Partiularly Kidd and Marion) to score consistently. what’s the point of having Kidd on your team when the ball stops the minute CB touches it? He won them two games when he got hot, was that worth it?

That’s my point though. It was a great trade purely from a talent perspective, undoubtedly. But it bit them in the ass because the Spurs exploited the personnel issues it created.

Carlisle talking about Beaubois, didn’t really admit that he shoulda had him playing more earlier in the series.

Thing that bothers me is that Dallas (i.e. Cuban) can go home thinking, IF ONLY they’d played different guys at key points, they coulda won the series. The games were close enough that Cuban might be thinking that and not blow up the team, as he usually does when the Mavs disappoint. The current Mavs roster, if they have a full season playing together, could be a real pain in the butt next year.

Do you think that there’s a team desperate enough for a slow-footed center just to occupy space in the lane that they’d take on his contract? Or would Cuban be so desperate to get rid of him that he’d pay him to play elsewhere? He did that with Finley, and look how that worked out… ;-)

Q: “Will Dirk opt out of his option year?” (The reporter asking Carlisle this clearly didn’t hear Charles Barkley say at halftime, “No one in his right mind walks away from $21 million”)

Credit to Dallas in that they didn’t fold mentally as I expected (except for a few bad fouls/mistakes) after going down 20+ and mounted another huge run to take the lead (for 20 sec.)

by vice on Apr 29, 2010 10:52 PM CDT up reply actions  

Substitute Beaubois for Kidd and it changes the matchups, maybe even the complexion of the series. otoh, I would’ve like to see more of the Parker-Duncan pick-and-roll when Beaubois was guarding Tony, to see if we could make Roddy’s time on the floor into a liability for the Mavs.

by TeamDefense on Apr 29, 2010 11:02 PM CDT up reply actions  

Let’s see…

Manu’s healthy.
Tim’s healthy.
Parker got hurt but is now healthy and providing spark off the bench.
Dice’s D and outside J.
RJ… when he’s on.
Hill’s “coming out” series.
Blair, the rookie with more heart than height.

Remember though, with all the new players this year, they really came together late, not during the Rodeo road-trip as usual. In retrospect, that should have been expected, as Pop’s system isn’t easy.

by TeamDefense on Apr 29, 2010 10:42 PM CDT reply actions  

Pop did throw out half the playbook at the start of the season. That’s why we’d been so discouraged up until about a month ago.

I feel like Manu’s been “off” since he injured his nose, like that bandage is bothering him. I don’t have any stats or specifics to back it up, just a gut feeling while watching him be good, but not great.

Manu was definitely off in Games 4 & 5, but hit a crucial three in Game 3 (I think?) and definitely was ‘on’ tonight, on both ends of the floor.

Yeah, but the ‘expert’ opinion was that the Spurs had their day and were done… they forgot that San Antonio was famous for years for lying in the weeds waiting for the playoffs to ambush bigger-market teams that get all the press.

I will admit though that this year’s Spurs looked poised to me for a first-round exit, until late in the season, when Manu got RJ going in the flow and developed a reliable pick-and-roll game with Blair. And it’s evident now that TD, Dice, Manu, TP, etc. were saving their best for the playoffs; something that the ‘experts’ (and I to a certain extent) had not expected.

by TeamDefense on Apr 29, 2010 10:57 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah it’s weird. Kenny Smith, who I like, called it for the Mavs in 6 I think. But then I think it was after game 2 he was saying stuff like “the Spurs could win this series.” So he changed his own mind or never felt too strong in the first place.

The Suns are very comparable to the Mavs in that they are only great in a fast-paced game. And we just proved that we can shut that kind of team down. I think the Suns will be a much better match-up than the Mavs were. Looking forward to it. Spurs in 5, no joke.

George probably won’t ever be as good of a ball handler as Rose is (I think he’s the best in the league at handling) but he can improve his strength and overall game. I’m not going to call him Derrick Rose but he is surely superstar material.

Good night my fellow Spurs fans.

Final props to my man McDyess. He was a stud. Whatever bad I said about him, I take it back. He played like a bad ass for most of the series. We wouldn’t have won without his defense and wicked attitude.

Dice, you have earned your place in Spurs history my man. McDyess and George Hill have brass cones.

It has been a long time since I remember watching the Iceman on my black and white television, but Hill brought back those moments.

We still need a huge improvement in our interior defense, but this series win is big. Make no mistake, the Mavs were dreaming of a championship run. This was and is a historic loss for them.

D@mn, the way Grant Hill is playing right now, George may not be the best NBA player named “Hill” tonight, despite his clutch threes to put the Mavs away.

This version of the Suns may be tougher than previous ones… it’s not just Amare, Nash, and a bunch of run-and-gunners now. They’re able to stop drives into the paint much better now (because of Frye and Dudley, maybe?), and Hill and Richardson can break down half-court defenses.

Blazers got within 4, Dudley hit a 3. Sigh.

Chuck Barkley said during the half-time break something to the effect of no one in their right mind walks away from $21 million.

Question is, could Dirk get more from another team? I doubt it, and there are younger free-agents competing for limited dollars this year (especially with salary cap and lock-out considerations).

Now, will he and Cuban talk about what they need going forward? I’d imagine so, but is there anything to discuss that hasn’t been said before? One possibility… Dirk might agree to restructure his contract to open up space to bring in another impact player, adding years but reducing up-front money.

I think Tim would be on whoever else they throw out there for a center – I don’t think the Suns would be dumb enough to put Amar’’’’’e (sorry, it’s just fun to say it that way) on Timmy – that would just mean quick foul trouble. That would also most likely keep Tim able to do whatever he needs on offense.

That leads me to think that damn, Mason might see a lot of daylight in this series.

Just cause we're crippled, don't mean we gotta take the crumbs.

I doubt it – I think Pop finally learned his lesson. Mason only came out during 1 and 5 I think? Both were pretty much “well crap, here have these hors d’oeuvres”.

It would be cool just to threaten to play him though; people in phx still have night tremors about Roger Mason. He might be, at the least, a very effective psychological tool.

What would yooooouu do?

For a Mason 3? (Love me the Klondike song)

If he hits a GW 3 or something IN PHX, that would be so funny I’d have an appendectomy on the spot.

Imagine being there, in the arena, on Christmas, when he hit that shot.

Greatest Christmas ever, I tell you.

The words got drunk and italicized themselves after celebrating the 1st round victory.

In Manu, we trust.
