Clint's rim protection has been an eye-opener. With a Jones, Smith, Howard, Capela rotation we have an absolutely ridiculous shotblocking frontcourt. Add in Ariza and Brewer, and our defense is just ridiculous 3-5 Our main weakness that teams will look to exploit is at the 1. Without Bev it's going to be hard to stop elite PGs.
Please!!! No late games!!! It was so frustrating going to sleep right after 3 hours of intense playoff basketball last year.
Am I the only one who think the Spurs lost on purpose to avoid Dallas in the first round again? Remember last year, Dallas gave em a harder series than anyone....
IMO, Dallas was a much beter, cohesive team last season. Dirk was borderline 50-40-90 and Ellis showed up. This year, IMO, they've regressed. They've lost some major pieces in Carter, Marion, Wright, Crowder, and I'm praying that Monta/Rondo/Parsons suck and and blow up that locker room.
Definitely don't think this. Give up home-court advantage up until the conference finals? Now they have to play 4 games away against the Clippers instead of 4 games home against the Mavs. I'm sure they would've preferred the short commute to Dallas too.
Parsons is still hurt. Rondo isn't going to torch Terry/Prig. Ariza will prevent Ellis from going off. Chandler is negated by Howard. Dirk is the only mismatch squarely in the mavs favor. He could visit the fountain of youth, but IMO I don't see him scoring more than 20 in any game.
There's no way Pop would've missed the opportunity to play a team with as glaring a weakness as the Mavs do with Rondo. You're talking about the master of exploitation. He would've given everything to play this Dallas team instead of the Clippers. There's also no Big Shot Vince in this Mavs team anymore.
BSPN - just wow... Pole-jobbing everyone else but Harden. Single-handedly led a team of combined 180 games missed to second seed in the toughest western conference ever. Westbrook played less games... beat out harden by 5 one-hundreths of a point and miss the playoffs. wtf.
Wow Wasn't expecting a blowout win or A Spurs loss Hopefully the Rockets can keep the good times rolling!!
So, is it official? Has McHale gained enough trust on Capela to play him over Dorsey? I have called for that change for weeks already.
