Have you actually looked at the roster of that team that went to the finals?? Nobody on that team was really good except Dirk. our starting team was howard (sucks/gone), damp (sucks/gone), dirk, terry (sucks/needs to be gone), and harris. That was not a good team in hind sight, don't know how we made it so far. Avery brought something called defense to the table and all of a sudden the mavs are playing in the finals. Nellie could build good teams, but Avery took them to the next level.


Maybe as a coach he's an aszhole to play for but I think he's smart and knows how to win if players listen.
