    Well, while I don't get around the BBS very often anymore... (and it looks like most of you still get to) ...I have loosely kept up with the Rockets. Dismay would be one word used to describe my feelings of this season.
    Losing Chuck, Dream injured... all things considered what would you expect of the record other than what it is??

    Anyway, the Dallas (that's where I live now) Mavericks just got themselves a new owner. Broadcast.com tycoon, Mr. Cuban, an avid Mavs fan is already claiming he'll keep the team together long enough for them to gel. He sites the "Mavs of old's" biggest problem to be coaches, GM's, and owners breaking them up.

    Locals say, "No... we just suck!"

    So, Perot sold his share or did he just became a minority owner? I am a bit surprised that Dallas never turned around under Perot's ownership. I would of thought Ross would have rubbed off some of his success on his kid. As a former employee of Ross's old company, I was actually rooting for that team to turn around. Before anyone ask... NO, I did not vote for him.

    Did you guys hear about Nelson Sr. stepping down as coach after this year and he also said he will not recommend his son to be the next coach?

    I guess that is a positive direction for the team.

    IROC it, how 'bout them cowboys!!! [​IMG]

    I know I said before I wouldn't, but I'm rooting for Tennessee. [​IMG]

    Living fairly close to Dallas, I really wish the Mavs would at least become a contender for the #8 seed or something.

    How long is Finley locked in for?
