    From Ray Felton "I'm still elite" (you never were), to Monta "He Have it All" Ellis (he thinks he was as good as D Wade and he never was), to "The Cornerstone" Chandler Parsons (who has at different points this off season compared himself to Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, James Harden, and Dwight Howard), this team has delusions of grandeur that I can't comprehend. In their minds they are legends. I for one can't wait to see the catastrophe that is the no defense playing,over inflated opinion having disaster that our neighbors up I-45 have put together. Get yo popcorn ready!

    F*** Dallas, but cmon man.

    Monta has kept his mouth shut and been a different player since meeting Carlisle. Felton is probably the least important member of that team. Chandler is...well he's Chandler.

    I get the upset feelings from what transpired, but they're irrelevant otherwise.

    Cuban can't be Lennon anymore, so now he's decided he should be Mark Chapman, don't give him your attention, he doesn't deserve it.

    They have a title in the past decade. As a franchise, the culture is there.

    Yea keep hating if you want but I wish everything rockets would just shut up and stop digging ourselves in holes. From our players to us our fans. Dirk is more proven than any of our players, their coach is unreal and they've sorta had our number for quite some time. Even at times when we were better we still never won the season series.
    Let's just let them be and hope we somehow beat them this year.
    Cocky has never worked out well for us rockets, let's try humble.

    The Heat when the big 3 got together? Lebron with his "not 1, not 2" speech and people predicting 72 wins for these guys

    Chandlers Parsons is the most delusional. He is nothing but a good role player, nothing more.

    Well that's as stupid a statement gets. Chandler might be overpaid but he is far from just being a "good role player". That's just your salt talking. He is young and extremely talented. Now we see how deep is motivation runs too. He could have been had for $10 to $11 mil by Morey but we lost a great player for nothing. Admit that mistake and realize Dallas just got better with CP.

    Your statement is just as stupid. Parsons is not "extremely" talented.

    How do you know $10-$11 million was enough to keep him?

    What is sad is that the Dallas squad actually looks better than Houston squad right now.

    The Mavericks have a great coach, and an aging star, that is where the "greatness" ends.

    Chandler is extremely solid, but NOT much of a difference maker at the end of the day. Not quick enough, explosive enough, nor a good enough defender to really scare anyone as anything more than a mediocre third option.

    Raymond Felton is the worst starting PG in the NBA, Jameer Nelson is the second worst.

    Tyson Chandler has regressed significantly. Samuel Dalembert had a better season last year.

    Monta Ellis doesn't scare anyone except Rick Carlisle.





    The Mavericks are LOCKS to be mediocre for the foreseeable future.
