This. Just unban the man.

While I don't know what is going on behind the scenes, Cad always brings good basketball talk aside from his rants.

GhostFace · 03-23-2012, 12:07 AM

Sigh.

cad's done worse, should have been banned a while back

Regardless his comments regarding basketball were always good for argument even if he ended up cussing people out and then ended up being right.. and even if he was wrong it was still a productive argument that led to new ideas.

cad had numerous infractions against so many people. I remember that for about 2 months he'd respond to every one of my posts with offensive sexist slander while sending me repeated harassing PMs that were even more offensive. I don't feel bad for the guy.

Underdog · 03-23-2012, 08:35 AM

I thought this thread was about Lamar Odom's struggles with the Mavs, not Cadbane's struggles with his sociopathy...

Make a new thread if you have to, but let's try to stay on topic (unless Cad is dating a Kardashian?)

I understand your stance is that no one can reach him and it's not worth the effort. Lost cause. You quote one little piece of my post disregarding the rest, especially the ending of that very sentence you chopped haha?

I get your "try anything" stance, but Dirk doing the same thing Rick did three weeks ago isn't going to change anything. You flat out said RC didn't call out Odom publicly, and he did. If it didn't work three weeks ago with the head coach, then it's not going to work three weeks later with Dirk doing it. I can't imagine that they haven't tried everything at this point. Holger maybe?

At this point, the only person who can change Lamar Odom is Lamar Odom. There's nothing you can say to him that's going to make him self-accountable - this is definitely the kind of change that has to come from within... It's time to man-up or sit out, no more coddling a guy who is 32-years-old.

Yes, but you've never had me banned for doing the same..

I've got the half season plan and the boos have been steadily taking over more and more each week. Some guy screamed out (and I am sure Lamar and wifey heard) "Put Khloe in" at the top of his lungs. They need to do something. It started right before he disappeared with about 30% boos. I would honestly say it is up to consistently 70% boos now and climbing. The Laker game was a new all time high. I would venture it was 90% booing, but I am not going to call that a trend just yet. We'll see if it stays there.

News flash Khloe: You want fans to stop booing your husband? Tell him to start playing or at least have the decency to actually say you have quit and free up the roster spot.

Pretty much agree, but I'm pretty sure Odom did say that he'd just quit and Cuban talked him into coming back and I'm not sure how it involves Khloe or if the pseudo-celebrity hate is just getting confused with your bone-headed-player hate.

Ummm... Khloe tweeted she wants people to stop booing her husband? Learn to read I guess?

nowhereman · 03-23-2012, 11:15 AM

It really doesn't affect me if Cadbane is banned. He's been on my ignore list for years.

EricaLubarsky · 03-23-2012, 11:20 AM

Can we just change his name to lamar m because he has no 'D' or 'O'?

Stats don't lie, Khloe:

11-12: 7.0 PPG / 34.5% FG / 24.0% 3P / 58.7% FT / 4.4 RPG / 1.8 APG / 0.4 SPG / 0.4 BPG / 21.4 MPG
Career: 14.2 PPG / 46.5% FG / 31.7% 3P / 69.6% FT / 8.7 RPG / 3.9 APG / 0.9 SPG / 1.0 BPG / 34.9 MPG

The raw numbers could be indicative of a shortened season, lack of minutes or just a bad fit in our system, but the percentages can only mean that he doesn't give a sh!t... I mean, most of the league's stats are down this season, but nobody has had as steep a drop-off as Lamar Odom - even his FREE THROW percentage has dropped by over 10% from his career average... That's just plain lazy.

EricaLubarsky · 03-23-2012, 10:12 PM

DNP CD is interesting

MavsFTR · 03-23-2012, 10:14 PM

“@MFollowill: Carlisle saying after tonight's game he talked w/ Lamar yesterday & today that he was going to look at a different rotation in this one”

MavsFTR · 03-23-2012, 10:15 PM

“@MFollowill: Rick didnt call it a benching & didnt say he was sending a msg. He says they need 2 keep Lamar n the fold & everything is n play going 4ward”

Bayliss · 03-23-2012, 10:18 PM

Best news in a long long time.

Bayliss · 03-23-2012, 10:21 PM

Um Carlisle is lying then. Either one of two things: either he is hurt and can't play or he plays. No in between with the caliber player that Lamar is.

He was benched. Whether the benching lasts remains to be seen.

Underdog · 03-23-2012, 10:21 PM

Looks like we're one more game closer to striking the "maybe" from the thread title...

I thought he was playing better with the Terry/Roddy/Carter/Odom/ Wright(Ian) lineup.

Odom and Dirk just don't work together. Its time to dump that idea

AKA rotations without Odom in them. At least thats the subtext I got.

clutch#41 · 03-23-2012, 11:15 PM

when can we buy him out?

Underdog · 03-24-2012, 01:28 AM

Reading between the lines in some of Odom's quotes tonight:

Quote:

"From the looks of it, it looks like they're going to have the NBA playoffs. You know what I mean? This team is looking like they're going to play for it all. Hopefully, my time will come to make shots and make plays."

When I talk about the Mavericks, I refer to them as "we" and I'm not even on the squad - Odom sounds like he isn't either.

Spurred1 · 03-24-2012, 03:54 AM

Well, he also writes that he hopes his time will come...so God knows what's going on. Maybe RC should just shake things up and start him against the Rockets. Play Dirk very limited minutes-awful against SA-and play the younger guys more.
At this point, I'm guessing everything has been tried with Lamar. Maybe Dirk's talked to him, Terry and Kidd have probably also tried. He's got to fix himself.

Same here, I still think his allegiance is with another team...

Dale4Saul2Red0 · 03-24-2012, 07:58 PM

Lamar Odom is a complex individual. I mean just look at the family he married into. Someone has to have a few screws loose to row into those waters.

Melonhead · 03-24-2012, 08:55 PM

He also implied that not playing because of a coach's decision further damaged his confidence.

"I mean, a situation like this, do you think it helps or hurts confidence?" Odom said.

http://espn.go.com/dallas/nba/story/...e-day-benching

Man he's such a baby.

JeffViggiano · 03-24-2012, 09:57 PM

no more Odom.please.

Underdog · 03-24-2012, 10:00 PM

Boy, I totally forgot about him.

He came in, sucked, we lost our biggest lead of the night, then we never saw his punk-ass again...

MavsFTR · 03-24-2012, 10:03 PM

I'm done with him. He should not be playing basketball right now. His mind is completely fizzled after all of his tragedies.

Bayliss · 03-24-2012, 10:06 PM

What is the difference between Lamar Odom's play on the court and a big bag of steaming dog poo? Well, one stinks to high heaven and you just can't get that stench to go away. And the other is poo.

twistaeffect2004 · 03-24-2012, 10:10 PM

Notice how he was also not standing while the rest of the team was during the final seconds of the game.

Getting him off this team is addition by subtraction. I don't care if Yi is the other option, the level of play simply can't get any worse.

The season is in the stretch run, and I honestly can't think of one instance where I remember Odom playing well. Can anyone else? It's absurd how bad he's been.

jthig32 · 03-24-2012, 10:11 PM

Last night was a DNP, and tonight he played minutes that are only available because of this schedule. Those minutes will not be available in the playoffs.

He's terrified to shoot and can't make anything happen offensively. So depressing.

mavsfan1000 · 03-24-2012, 10:12 PM

Time for a buyout.
