Man, what an ugly loss to Spurs today. I was hoping Mavs would win this one. Mavs is usually very good at home but so far they've lost quite a few. (but they also won quite a few road games).

Anyway... I didn't have chance to watch any Mavs game but from what I've heard, Mavs's offense is very limited. Too many one-on-one and pick and roll. There's hardly any ball movement.

At least when Nash was there he makes sure Mavs scores on fast breaks.

Oh well, I hope the new Mavs players can learn how cope with Nelson's system.

GO DIRK!!

Nah, I'm sure they'd much rather have a rookie running PG.

Here's an answer that'll shock you; YES.

Cuban, you're an idiot. If he had spent the money on Dampier AND Nash, look where they'd be. Christ.

Hahaha, I know it's obvious.

I guess the original plan is to have Nash train the new PG. They say this Devin is pretty Nash-like except he is more athletic and better at defense.

Well... Nash sure enjoys his stay at Suns. He had a GREAT game today. 20/14, shooting 50% and only had 1 turnover!!! God.

I wonder what it takes to bring the Mavs together. They have way too many players injured. Dirk isn't 100%, Daniel isn't....sigh.

Of course they miss Nash, but I think having Dampier and Terry/Harris is now more valuable than having Nash. Its so hard to come by a legit center these days, especially one that will actually play in the paint. Damp is a glorified role player compared to Nash, but interior D is so badly needed in Dallas that Cuban had to get Dampier when the opportunity came. Also, having Nash, their lack of inside defense is magnified by his poor play on the perimeter, because when a guard could get past Nash they basically had an open lane to the hoop. Nash runs the offensive machine very well. He is a guy who will play and be effective for years to come (its hard to say that about any point guard in the league right now that is 30) because of his shooting and passing in a halfcourt setting, but the Mavs now are better than the Mavs of last season and maybe even the 02-03 Mavs if they can get anything done in the postseason without an injury coming up and saving them (ie Chris Webber). Nash excells in the season, but in the playoffs, the holes in game (particularly on defense) are a liability.

Yeah it was the Spurs, most teams are going to.

Why didnt Cuban re-sign Nash? Did he think harris would just take over and run the ship. I think someone has to chnage Cubans mentality. You can't just keep switching your core players and expect it to be a success. I think thats more evident then ever after there performance aginast the spurs.

Dallas is really lacking a PG who creates offense for the team. Both Harris and Terry look to score first, and guys like Daniels, Howard, Dampier, and even Nowitzki hardly ever create for other teammates. The Spurs absolutely demolished the Spurs because the Mavericks tried to play one-on-one ball while the rest of the Maverick players just stood around. Again, Dallas needs a PG who will move the ball around, create for others, and prevent an offense from going stagnant. Anyone know of a PG who can do these things? (Hint Hint, read title of thread)
