Wow. These new Yahoo board guys are sure bringing "IT".
Unfortunately for the most part they have insisted on placing a "SH" right in front of IT. Time to brush off this little gem....in honor of credit.

Maybe the yahoo guys would be happy if we benched Dirk for Austin. I mean we could really use Dirks lock down defense coming off the bench right?

He is also our best rebounder in traffic, and best slasher as well as plays dont have to be run for him as well. MVP and MIP have different roles on a team. Yes, everything starts with Dirk, but the most important piece for the Mavs is Howard for defense as well as for offense. If Howard did not get that serious hand injury in the Suns series, the Mavs would have won their first title. Most people dont know about this injury. Howard was a non-factor in the Finals because of his hand injury. Right after the Finals he wore a cast for the rest of the summer. He is just now getting back to normal in these last couple of weeks. When we lost his offense in the finals, we had no chance, because we were left to hit from the outside. Howard is the slasher that would have made that difference like usual. |

Does anyone here know the complexity of the NBA from a player or organization standpoint? Please just let me know, I thought there was basketball knowledge here, a couple that posted back to me today clearly dont know basketball 501 talk. Basketball 101 is about who is MVP of the team which is clearly Dirk. Lets move up to Basketball 501. The Shaq/Kobe Lakers team was Kobe the MVP and Shaq the MIP. The Heat last year was Wade MVP and Shaq MIP. The Spurs last title team was Ginobili MVP, Duncan MIP. For some teams the reason they have not won is because they only have a MVP. Cavs have Lebron MVP, but no MIP. Suns last year had Nash MVP, but no MIP. |

I'll be interested to know what kind of numbers JHO is thinking he's worth. Since he's restricted next year anyway, I see no real reason to worry about it unless he pulls a Joe Johnson on us and asks Cuban to not match whatever offer he gets - and that seems highly unlikely.
I would just like to know his thinking on this. I somewhat feel for the guy since he's made so little money up to this point, but that's the way it works. Maybe we'll know more later, but I find it hard to believe that Cuban's not offering him a fair deal, or that the restrictions on extensions are keeping him from being offered what he's worth.

Dirk is not a traffic rebounder, he is a weakside rebounder and a very good one. Our most active rebounder is Howard which his jumping ability and quickness off the floor. When Howard is active on the defensive end, the Mavs are at its best overall. Lastly your reference to crack tells me your vocabulary is a little short. Defend yourself with basketball facts not insults.. |

This might be the stupidest argument I've seen since I joined here. MVP and M(important)P are the EXACT SAME THING. If you honestly think that it would be better if Dirk went down with an injury next year than if Josh did then you have more than a few things wrong with you. |

Sometimes that huge signing bonus will put you close or over the cap just to get a deal done. It is very tricky. You would'nt believe what these contracts look like. The average person could not read a typical professional contract. That is why you have to have an agent. A good one as well, or you can be screwed by the language of the contract. Sometimes when you see players fire agents real quick, is because language in the contract comes to light that is not in the best interest of the player.. |

As for rebounds, You havent watched enough film if you really think he isnt a traffic rebounder. He essentially lead the nba in rebounding for the playoffs but he is just a weakside rebounder? Got any other preconceived notions with no basis in reality?

Hey guys you remember in the zito thread when i said I just popped off about zito not being an ace but looked it up and i was wrong? Well my guess is he did the same thing but doesnt want to admit he was wrong so he just keeps going. This would be why I flip flopped so fast on that issue, i didnt want to look like a moron like he does.

Dirk is most definitely a traffic rebounder. And while one might make some paper thin disctinction between a MVP and MIP, it doesn't at all mean that distinction exists on every team, and it certainly doesn't in this case. There's nothing about JHO's game or skill set that makes him the most important player on the team, and his defense is overrated by alot of Mavs fans.....I blame it on Ortegal.

If you get a chance to brush up on NBA basketball advance talk start by visiting some websites that will give you some insight on what ALL nba teams use to see the value of each player on each play in each game in each minute on the floor. Visit http://www.82games.com/0506/0506DAL.HTM and tell me what you think about that info. Once you visit around a bit, then come back to talk that kind of language with basketball 501. If you are here to just judge the normal stats that fans/media read into each day, then you will not understand most of my talk and it will continue to sound like I dont know basketball. |

As for the come like a man stuff, this is a message board. You cant "come like a man". Whats next, you want to "rumble" We will never meet so there is no point in bringing that kind of crap. The most serious confrontation we can get in is some trash talking which really isnt a big deal.

 I've played about 8 games in Live 07 so far, and the announcers have brought it up every game when Dirk takes his first free throw. It's very annoying. |

Here is your MVP talk for you... How many games would the Mavs win w/o Dirk? How many games would the Suns win w/o Nash? How many games would the Lakers win w/o Kobe? How many games would the Cavs win w/o Lebron? How many games would the Heat win w/o Wade? Here is a clue, the team you pick with the least amount of wins is the MVP, and the player with the second lowest is the runner-up.....Agree or not agree? |
