Re: Fire Avery

He's never been or will be a better coach than Larry Brown.

I think we just initially overrated him. He's an above average coach. He preaches defense and getting yourself good offensive looks.

Where he fails is as a rotation manager and in making adjustments. He'll stick with the gameplan until it runs us into the ground, and he won't adjust until it's too late, if at all.

He'll land elsewhere in the league. We all initially felt he could've been a special coach, but in reality, he's in the lot with Rick Carlisle, Jim O'Brien, etc. Good coaches who'll only take a team so far before their faults become too much to bear.

If I was forced into a decision now, I'd say Cuban will give him one more year, but in this West he'll do nothing with it and he'll be gone. Del Harris would be a good choice IMO.

Dear Mr. Avery, (Yes, I would say Mr. Avery)

I just want you to know that I am a huge fan of you... As a player. I was very supportive of your first few years, but then you make me question your coaching tactics by pulling stupid stunts like not having Brandon Bass play at all in the fourth quarter when his energy is needed on the floor, but rather have Josh Howard play when he's playing so God awful that even his drug dealer doesn't want him to play anymore and wouldn't mind cutting off his supply. Also, putting JJ Barea in the game. What the hell is that? Did you noticed that he lost a 7 point lead in about 2 and a half minutes while playing? Honestly, he's not good at anything, and deserves to be traded for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a pair of socks to some small French town (because he plays like he's from France). At least peanut butter and jelly will give us a little bit of happiness while consuming it, and socks will keep our feet warm. Oh, and not being able to realize that the team was playing better with Kidd not in the game, but you still decide to keep him in? Without Kidd, they brought the deficit down to 5 points, but you say, "Oh, this lineup seems to be working great, so let's put Kidd in and see if it will remain good" but when they start to slip, you do nothing about it. Yeah, real smart there, hun. Another thing about Brandon Bass... You don't put enough trust in this guy. He was single handedly keeping the Mavs in the game at the end of the second quarter. Also, I'm sure he can handle guarding a center who doesn't score much, so give him the damn start!

Yeah, that's pretty much it. I'm pretty pissed right now.
Haha, you should really send that to the Mavs, it's fitting.

Can't we fire Avery before Game 5 ?

Re: Fire Avery

Awesome letter, Jet.

You didn't mention how he insisted to play Stack, who BRICKED or AIRBALLED nearly all his shots. The dude wasn't firing on offense, and his defensive assignment blew by him on a regular basis....

I'd have given all those minutes to Eddie Jones....

Why doesn't Lue get the nod over Barea?

Eddie Jones still has a few drops left in his tank, but I REALLY think Stack is running on empty.

Re: Fire Avery

Jones is washed-up, as is Stack, Lue isn't much better either, we are talking about a crapshoot.

And Barea:

Quote:
Ask yourself this question as it relates to P.O.R.P.I.’S: How do you like Stack’s chances of getting to the rim on one leg? (Or, this year, on two?) How do you like George’s chances of creating for himself and finishing inside? How do you like JJB’s chances of even seeing the rim?

Re: Fire Avery

Avery continues to impress me with his inability to do anything positive for this team. If Cubes keeps him around, I doubt I will be able to root for this team anymore.

Oh yikes. Let me add something real quick about him.

One more player that has really has me upset is Jerry Stackhouse. I've never liked Jerry, but honestly... he pulls a groin muscle every 3 weeks, and that's something to be shaky about. I think you should just place him on injured reserve and have him sing the National Anthem every game, because he can't miss doing that, everyone enjoys it, and it's offensive to no one, unlike his jumper... or... lack thereof?

Oh and sorry for whoever I insulted about French part. I don't care much for France.

BTW, Happy Birthday Josh Howard! We all love you! Not only is it his Birthday, it's his Golden Birthday so he better kick it tomorrow... or else.
