Get rid of Dirk
It's time to get rid of Dirk. Doesn't play well in the big games, not good enough.

We got better as a team when we got rid of Nash, so I can understand your rationale.
But I think we ought not to test our luck, if you know what I mean.

I'm just wondering how good we can get. I mean, Dirk is probably limiting Howard. How good can Howard really be?

Getting rid of Dirk is laughably ridiculous for us all.
But getting rid of Nash made us better.
It's a hard thing to wrap your head around. But if you will try, you may figure something out.

I'm starting to think in terms of inevitability that chum interjecting nash/nellie reference in a Mavs thread is starting to rank up there with death and taxes. Not quite there, but close.

Why the F should we do this? Any connections with the Memphis LA shocker? Don't tell me your jerking my knee. I don't like this thread. Not even a little bit.

No it only became relevant when chum pipped up. Then it became an exercise in folks talking his bait.

I'll buy Dortmund's excuse. Doc, on the other hand, lied about his excuse and was generally a dick about it all.

I guess I was wrong. I was just getting the feeling that the original poster was bored and wanted to post a ridiculous thread to see how many people he could get to say, "Are you crazy?" But I guess I was wrong.

The original post was shock-value. chum pulled out the nash bait.

This is all a social experiment on how long we will support Dirk. Chum fails the experiment as he fails at life, but the rest of us pass for now.
the experiment will be released in a study later this year by Baylor sociologists.

Actually, it's a thought experiment on how much we *did* support Nash, and how we felt about his departure.
Many people on this board have pointed out how we got better when Nash left. I know that it SEEMS counterintuitive, but imagine how much better we could get if only Dirk would leave. Josh Howard, for example, is waiting in the wings and is presently held back by Dirk.
I know that it would be sad to see Dirk go somewhere else and maybe win an MVP or two, but if that's what it takes to bring Josh Howard around...I guess you have to do it.

I don't think we got better BECAUSE nash left, but we did. How come?

Because Nash left.
Again, I know that it seems ridiculous to you, but imagine that Josh Howard was "the man" on this team and Dirk wasn't around. Would we be better?

I don't think so. I also don't think we got better because Nash left, but because nellie left.
Although nellie is a good coach, his time had come and I still don't think he focuses on defense enough to be a consistent contender.

That's probably not a bad point. Dirk needs the ball in his hands to score. Nash needed the ball in his hands to score, or he needed to deliver the ball to someone else who could easily score.
Faz will never make it here as long as long as Dirk needs to touch the ball in order to score.

Nah, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
If you thought I was serious then you just haven't been part of this forum very long.
