but regardless... yeah on the Kidd trade---the aspect of the trade that really made the most sense was that lockerroom was filled with a general malaise that had to be shocked away. The medium shock of the kidd trade didn't quite have the desired effect, hence the need for a massive jolt. ....which they may (or may not) receive through dirk's demise. i was reminded of a very interesting analogy during last night's pre-game -- the '94-'95 Rockets..... The team was a defending NBA champ and Olajuwon was the defending league MVP, but they were muddling along through the season when they made the blockbuster phi-slamma-jamma reunion trade for Drexler. But, post trade they continued to muddle along until Olajuwon went down. Then, Drexler remembered that he was a superstar and the other guys on that team remembered that they were damn good players....they got on a role and, as they say....history. I specifically recall Kenny Smith (on his NBA Radio show) saying that it was playing without Olajuwon that got'em going again. (that, and Jordan being out of the league) anyway, i'm not saying that this will happen for the mavs, just that dirk going down may not have been the worst thing that could have happened.

If josh honestly wants to be an all-star he's going to have to take the pounding that comes with going to the hoop. Very good last night and he as much as anyone has to shoulder responsibility here. In the second he almost single-handidly played us out of the game because he was jacking up crapola.

josh -- two nuts swinging majestically
kidd -- one prunish testical, possibly cancerous jet -- a shriveled and utterly nutless nutsack

Iverson would have been the perfect compliment to Dirk and a great fit for these mavericks, in my opinion.

Um, we're obviously not going to be served anything good in the lottery. I thought people were smart...
