Future of Dirk Nowitzki and Mavs now that Spurs eliminated them in round 1

[Jasper]

Don't forget the excessive long stretches of play for Dampier over Haywood and Najera being our energy guy over Roddy as well oh yes this is a recipe for winning.

THIS - Haywood should of got majority of minutes for suree..

OK - does Haywood now say time to bolt , lock in on a solid contract else where ???????????

I say the chances are 50%

[zORi]

for the most overrated team of the past 10 years, if not ever. maybe not overrated, but I cant call them chokers since choking would mean they blew it at the last minute. ok I got it... biggest over achieving team.

Nah, too talented to be called over achieving.

I don't know what you'd call them, but between

Losing the Finals 4-2 after going up 2-0 in the beginning (first time that has happened, I believe),
Being the first seed losing to the 8th seed,
and now being the 2nd seed losing to the 7th seed;

I feel for their fans.

Maybe they're cursed?

Dirk + Wade + Dallas = Big Trouble for the WEST.

fixed

If only Dallas could get another "superstar." They don't grow on trees.

It's not that simple. Dirk is treated as a superstar when he isn't one. He's treated as a franchise player when he isn't one.

Look at players like Ray Allen or prime Peja. Those guys could be great scorers, but there was no way they were winning championships as the clear #1 with supporting players, no matter how talented those supporting players were. They were the types of guys who needed players as good, or better beside them if they wanted to win a ring. Dirk is overrated in the sense that people still think he's the kind of player can have a championship team built around him.

bye bye cuban, terry and the others....manu says hi again.

[Jasun]

theyre like a good boxer with a glass jaw

[Gotterdammerung]

Dallas. Where losing to 7th and 8th seeds happen.

[R.I.P.]

Carlisle just said Haywood has earned a max contract and that Beaubois will get 10 minutes per game next year. If Barea gets injured he might increase it to 15 minutes. They

[robertshaw_1]

I never understood all the hate RC is getting. are you guys forgetting cuban runs his team like jerry jones runs dallas?? bobo isnt getting playing time because cuban doesnt allow it.

Dirk scored points but he also allowed McDyess to hit a couple shots in the
4th and also allowed two layups and failed on his rotations on Hill. He fails to make a bigger impact outside of scoring

niko and andrei must be dead...



and that dumb ass plowking....

life is great.

Dude played JJ over Bouboi and Butler. Yeah, he shares blame.

[dawsey6]

Dallas, the only team to lose as the #1 & #2 seed in 1st round in a best of 7 series

You went a long way to narrow down the Mavs' accomplishments, being this only the 8th postseason with best-of-7 1st round series. Don't you think?

[Kiddlovesnets]

Well Dirk is still a choker, like I said in my thread. Now everyone please, give it a 5 star rating. ^^
