    Dalembert was all over the place in the 1st half! It is almost like he is being driven by some outside motivating force. Almost like he is out for redemption. What weight gain??
    Let's go big Dally!!!;)

    If Kyle Lowry plays like this, with Kevin Martin and Luis Scola, the sky is the limit.


    Can Dalembert give us prime Mutumbo?


    Can Dragic/Lee/Chase/Terrence/Patrick/Hill/Parsons develop into a nasty bench/supporting cast?

    Dalembert is better than Hill. But that's about it. He's no star.

    We don't need star. We need big, athletic, consistent, solid, and reliable. Dalembert looks the part so far.

    Yup. Can Dally be a Tyson Chandler/Kendrick Perkins/Marcus Camby cross breed, for an entire season?

    If so, I wouldn't want to play us in the playoffs.

    Lowry/Martin/Scola is freaking scary as hell...

    A good regular season team does not make them top contenders come playoff time

    Even without that much practice he has changed the team.

    That's right. They have done nothing this past decade.

    they were a playoff team, i believe the #1 seed last year.

    that's better than us. and that makes them a top contender.

    They are a top team. they still have duncan, manu, and parker.

    We caught them on a back to back, they are old. old teams don't play well on back to back. and we haven't played since monday.

    But I still think they are a good team. Just because they are not NBA Finals favorites doesn't mean they are not a top team. They certainly aren't a bottom playoff team. I think they will be middle of the pack.

    They may not be favored to win it all but neither was Dallas last year. I think they are still in the mix if not the best right behind them. This is a good win against a good team.
