Ok Mavs fans, I'm sure we're all sick about what's happened with the team this year, but to tell the truth...the whole season sucked anyway. We started off very sluggishly and with very little pep. I think for the most part the vets of the team did know what they had to do this season, but again, there was a shift in dynamics with some of the players. They let some really good players go at the wrong time. The timing for several things was inadveredently wrong. The coaching was ok, just the player make up made things go south. Let's not be too harsh on Avery (which has been wrong of alot of people), yeah he's young, young with coaching, but you've got to admit that he did get them to three western conference championships, three seasons in the playoffs and one season in the finals. Nellie couldn't do all of that during the time he had the Mavs.
I must say that at this point we need to rebuild the Mavs with serious consideration for a stronger guards, forwards and support. I must say that I am sick to death about Dirk, let's ditch him. He's done nothing to really push this team forward with aggressive force to claim their stake in the NBA with a finals championship. Face it people, we've babied him, pampered him, propped him up, put him on a pedestal and given him credit when we shouldn't have, come on the guys not finals material. We've birth Dirk, but now it's time to kick him out of the crib, he needs to get out and experience life in the NBA. Dallas has suffered for so long until we're just sick thinking about what will happen come the next season. Do I sound pesimistic, yeah! I'm just sick to death about what's been going on.
Did you guys see me in the stands last night? They almost asked me to come down and play in the forth quarter, I was pissed! Highly Pissed! The Mavs played hard, but not with enough passion, no sense of urgency or like they really wanted to go to the finals.
Mark Cuban's made some of the stupidest mistakes a franchise owner could ever make, and he has the audacity to get mad...heck Mark you changed the chemistry of the team, what do you expect? Ok, I think I'll get off my soap box now, get in my porsche and head home. I can only tell you that from this point on there's going to be some major head choppin' and what the heck anyway, I wouldn't care if they ditched the whole team at this point, how could it hurt? But to reflect, just remember you don't start changing players right in the middle of the season, not good business at all. Jason Kidd has done nothing but pass the buck since he stepped on the court "literally!" Where's Devin? Josh what's up with you?
You know when I saw the post game show, Derrick looked like he wanted to cry, I felt so sorry for him. Hats of to all of the crew though, Derrick, Gina, Mark, Bob, Coop, Brad and the mavs media crew...you guys did an excellent job covering the Mavs as always. I loved every moment of the coverage you gave to help the team and keep them on the map.
Lastly, will I be back? You bet cha! I'm just disappointed right now, but I'll be back next season, so until then let's see what goes down with the Mavs and keep our ear close to the railroad tracks for the changes coming down the line. Max, Nita, excellent job with your coverage this year and thanks for all you do at KDFW. (Nita call me sometime :) .
Goals:
-Get rid of Dirk! (period)-Rebuild the team-Keep JT-Get Josh some help (rehab) and -Dump Jason Kidd-Bring Devin Home-Play JJ more-Trade Dampier -Keep Avery (it hasn't been fair to him)-Get rid of Cuban (for sure)-Let's build a dynamic team for '09
Peace
