Future of Dirk Nowitzki and Mavs now that Spurs eliminated them in round 1

Talk about sabotaging your team playing JJ over Roddy

Don't forget the excessive long stretches of play for Dampier over Haywood and Najera being our energy guy over Roddy as well oh yes this is a recipe for winning. :lol

I agree, but too much money. They're still paying damn Avery Johnson 4mil + to call games from the studio. Then add to that of course the 2nd highest payroll in the league with no significant relief coming this offseason. After the 10/11 season, they have some big money coming off would still be over the cap if the want to keep Dirk.

Maybe after next season you let Dirk expire both as a service and thank you to him to allow him to go somewhere else and ring chase, as well as a cost cutting and rebuilding effort.

Cuban is a billionaire, why should he care? The coach blew the series by not playing obviously superior players. Unacceptable..

beaubois 0 minutes in the 4th, i guess he didnt earn the minutes .

I think Dirk is gone...:cry: :cry:

at this point, makin a coaching change is useless. The Mavs have had different coaches over the past decade and every year, they fall short of reaching their goal to win an NBA championship. The Mavs need new youngblood like a Beaubois, even if they have to get rid of their franchise player in Dirk.

Carlisle is a friggin' son of a b*tch.

Yes, you can officially call them chokers now.

[QUOTE=phoenix18]I think Dirk is gone...:cry: :cry:[/QUOTE]Only possibility is an S&T but what team? Because there's no way he passes up a 21.5 million dollar option. He's not old enough yet to be in sacrifice money for a chance to win a ring yet and try to coat tail.

The problem is that they have built their team around a soft 7-foot jumpshooter that plays little D and doesn't run and fill the lanes well/finish at the basket.

Miami.

This does not bode well for Dirk's legacy. :oldlol:

Dirk + Wade + Miami = Big Trouble for the East.

Thanks Chuck.

I never understood all the hate RC is getting. are you guys forgetting cuban runs his team like jerry jones runs dallas?? bobo isnt getting playing time because cuban doesnt allow it.

i cant read any plowking, andrei or niko thread........you mad guys?

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that 21,513,524$ is hard to pass up, especially since you likely wouldn't get that much on the open market.

I'm lost, what do you think about him and Wade in South Beach?

Personally, knowing the Spurs and having watched them forever, I wouldn't consider this an "upset" (I picked the Spurs in 6 or 7) because these teams were only 5 wins apart going into the playoffs...

But let's not kid ourselves, everyone and their mom (in the media and ISH) was picking the Mavs in this series.

Nobody took the Spurs seriously, but they have the talent, experience, and solid coaching to be a serious threat.

Cue some rant about how Golden State wasn't a "true" 8 seed and the same about the Spurs being #7. It's coming, unless they just don't want to do it because I called it

This was the first thing that popped into my mind as soon as the clock hit zeros.

I don't think it'll happen.

Well, at least Dirk played pretty well this series. In those other examples he had complete meltdowns.

When people look back on this, they're not going to remember that they were only 5 wins apart, they are going to remember that the 2nd seed lost to the 7th seed.

The worst part about it, is that it's more of Kidd's fault than Dirk's.

for the most overrated team of the past 10 years, if not ever. maybe not overrated, but I cant call them chokers since choking would mean they blew it at the last minute. ok I got it... biggest over achieving team.

If the mavs want more than just regular season success, and actually want to win everything, then cuban must abandon this approach of opening up his wallet to build around Dirk. Dirk must be the player who compliments another star.

Cuban isn't a billionaire cause he was careless with money.

If only Dallas could get another "superstar." They don't grow on trees.

no polwking, andrei or niko posts yet..........................:violin:

THIS - Haywood should of got majority of minutes for suree..

OK - does Haywood now say time to bolt , lock in on a solid contract else where ???????????

I say the chances are 50% :oldlol:

Nah, too talented to be called over achieving.

I don't know what you'd call them, but between

Losing the Finals 4-2 after going up 2-0 in the beginning (first time that has happened, I believe),
Being the first seed losing to the 8th seed,
and now being the 2nd seed losing to the 7th seed;

I feel for their fans.

Maybe they're cursed?

It's not that simple. Dirk is treated as a superstar when he isn't one. He's treated as a franchise player when he isn't one.

Look at players like Ray Allen or prime Peja. Those guys could be great scorers, but there was no way they were winning championships as the clear #1 with supporting players, no matter how talented those supporting players were. They were the types of guys who needed players as good, or better beside them if they wanted to win a ring. Dirk is overrated in the sense that people still think he's the kind of player can have a championship team built around him.

bye bye cuban, terry and the others....manu says hi again.

theyre like a good boxer with a glass jaw

[B]Dallas.[/B] Where losing to 7th and 8th seeds happen. :banana:

Carlisle just said Haywood has earned a max contract and that Beaubois will get 10 minutes per game next year. If Barea gets injured he might increase it to 15 minutes. They

Dirk scored points but he also allowed McDyess to hit a couple shots in the
4th and also allowed two layups and failed on his rotations on Hill. He fails to make a bigger impact outside of scoring
