Getting our money's worth
Thank God we are finally getting our money's worth out of Steve Nash, Raja Bell, Michael Finley, Nick Van Exel, and Antoine Walker.
They have been worth their weight in gold. It's nice they've all come through for us. Steve Nash: Again tired down the stretch, still can't play defense. Raja Bell: Total blockhead. Good 3 shooter, good defender... fragile, though for such a tough guy Michael Finley: Just can't log the minutes he used to. He attacks the basket like Rain Man attacks a spilled box of toothpicks. Nick Van Exel: Nick the FAT... and useless. Antoine Walker: Same bat shots, same bat channel Last edited by sly; 06-12-2006 at 10:12 PM. |

You can't say we couldn't use Steve Nash... although if we had him our team would be drastically different and i wouldn't change our team for anything... but, if we could simply swap out Devin Harris for Steve Nash, i would do it in a heartbeat. Although, now that I type that I am thinking that Devin has a whole career ahead of him, and Nash only a few more productive years... so i take it all back.

It's amazing how all of these guys are basically left in the dust. We cleaned house, and kept the jewel in Dirk, added some defense and power, kept a bit of our running attack, and now we're 2 wins away from the c hampionship.

We got our moneys worth out of Nash and Finley while they were on the Mavs.

Good players for sure. I speak from value preceived from gluttony.. with championship being the measuring stick. It's like a puzzle that all falled into place when the three got broken up. But if you'll allowyourself a moment to digest the real meaning of my post I think you'll see what my point is. Or not... Last edited by sly; 06-12-2006 at 11:19 PM. |

I think you're all getting your money's worth with Walker since he's been playing stupid thus far....

Next time you see Jet playing some defense, let me know so I can see it for myself for the first time. Oh, and let me know when he finds some sort of consistency, too.

Most of the time I don't see it, but there must be something there for Avery to keep praising him for it.

Obviously, seeing where we're standing right now, we're a better team with Jet. Much better, and unless we don't extend him, we'll be better longer with him than we would be with Nash. Last edited by sly; 06-13-2006 at 04:03 PM. |
