    Would you mind if Dwight does end up Opting out? I wouldn't.

    It is all about the constant turnover, we had great chemistry - and won with the subs, then all of the sudden we decide to mix it up, and clearly something is not sitting right with the team.

    They are seriously not trying, and it is all mental.

    so, some teams don't even make the playoffs in 10 years

    you win some you lose some, just the way it is

    I think it's more a Dwight problem than a Smith problem.

    We're down 29 after 3 against a mediocre opponent with their star player having a quiet night. We're about to suffer our 5th loss in 8 games. Should we not be upset?

    No pride, no emotion....going through the motions....nothing is serious with DH12. He is not going to be the answer we hoped he would. Doesn't mean enough to him.

    If you think that, then you've never seen two players with great chemistry. They don't have any chemistry whatsoever outside the occasional alley oops.

    I put the blame on Howard btw.

    I can live with not being good enough...I can't live with not trying. That just pisses me off. Particularly when we're asked to pay for it.

    So many mistakes in last year playoff. Any time, as an owner, you see your coach lose games that are supposed to win, you doubt. If it happens in playoffs when coaches can adjust, you know you have an issue.

    Avery Johnson was labeled a coach genius before the 2005-06 Mavericks final loss to Miami, and lost 2 first-round series later, and eventually was let go. Avery had a 0.735 winning percentage. You have to wonder what Cuban thought about it after Rick Carlisle and the team won the Championship in 2011. Rick Carlisle just had a 0.588 winning percentage. The Dallas team from 2005-08 could significantly be better than the team in 2011.

    On 1/2/15 I officially declare Josh Smith to be worse than Joey Dorsey.

    It's not Howard. It Howard's high school buddy Josh Smith.

    i would, we need him, i don't get why people hate him or want him, you guys are nuts

    he was our only threat tonight inside and we didn't use him enough

    i think people expect "Orlando" Dwight way too much
