    Did anybody see Rafer Alston's spot up 3? It ended with a brick!!! I can't believe he can't even make any wide open 3 pointers!!! It's so frustruating watching a point guard that can't shoot and can't defend!! and it doesn't seem like anybody wants to pass yao the ball in the post anymore! and T-mac is very on and off in games. He can explode big time and other times he just blows it. We need a change in something. At this pace we are bound to get knocked out of the first round of the play-offs.

    Tmac plays sloppy when we lead and there is never consistent 48 (or whatever the minutes he plays) minutes play from him
    Yao doesn't defend beyond the paint, and he couldn't defend guards,
    Mike James travels from team to team with GOOD cause: he has no team spirits,
    Luther Head was and used to be clutchy shooter,
    Chuck is good for defense only,
    Wells has no disiplines,
    Deke is too old to move,
    Shane does only two things: taking offensive charges and shooting 3pts (inconsistently),
    Scola is still search the definition of NBA,
    Rafer is Rafer,
    SF3 couldn't get his butt off the bench,
    Coach doesn't care about defense,

    This team is not an elite team, period.

    Did anyone even pay attention to Adleman's substitutions? Like there weren't any. Our starters were clearly tired in the 4th qtr. Same as last year when our starters were tired. Poor substitution patterns.

    this is pissing me off, we had a huge lead in the 3rd quarter and lost in the 4th.

    I blame this not on the players but on the coach.

    it was clearly that our offense plans were tmac and yao only!

    we need to run offense scheme with our other players.

    when tmac and yao were tightly guarded, other players stood around or just passing.

    Forget elite. It may not even be a playoff team.

    Adelman should have *benched* Alston after that shot. That's how you become a disciplined team the takes good high percentage shots.

    Wanted: shooters who can actually knock down shots when it counts.

    Some might argue that we are worse than last year .... We had little offense last year but at least we could defend.

    I envy the Mavs' ability to find talent.
