Comments on: Mavs-Hornets Game 5 http://www.fireavery.com/2008/04/29/mavs-hornets-game-5/ A not so serious Dallas Mavericks blog. Tue, 12 Aug 2008 16:43:01 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Blow it all up http://www.fireavery.com/2008/04/29/mavs-hornets-game-5/comment-page-1/#comment-1765 Blow it all up Wed, 30 Apr 2008 04:10:20 +0000 http://www.fireavery.com/2008/04/29/mavs-hornets-game-5/#comment-1765 That quote was not about not believing in coaching. What a negatively skewed view and comment by the webmaster. What Stackhouse was saying is that it doesn't matter what the coaches do--it is the responsibility of the players to outplay the other team. Honestly, this team reached its ceiling two years ago. It is not Avery's fault, but I would start over. I'd trade Kidd for a first round pick to a contender like Denver or keep his expiring contract. I'd fire the coach. I'd trade Nowitzski and start over. Unfortunately, there are no good young pieces outside of Bass to work around. Fire the GM for trading your PG. That quote was not about not believing in coaching.

Iverson is a loser. He is a one on one playground player. He will never accomplish squat in the context of a team game. McGrady is a loser and Vince Carter is a loser. Carmello is a loser. Tim Duncan is a winner. The only time in the last 20 years that losers of this magnitude one the title was when the heat "beat" the mavs and that was nothing more than dick bevetta and Stern sticking it up Cubans backside and breaking it off. Iverson? Practice? Practice? He may have street Cred but he is a giant LOSER. If the Mavs got Alan Iverson I would never watch them, go to their games or follow them in any way. Iverson is a loser.

Keep Dirk and Kidd and get rid of the rest if you can. Sure Kidd in the open court can score and he can do some other things. Dirk is a 7 footer who can drive and get good shots in the paint. But it just don't mean squat if the other side is getting dunks and layups because the defense stinks. The Mavs have too many one dementional players. Who is their stopper? There was only one Michael Cooper, Sid Moncrief or even Bruce Bowen but even big nellie kept a Raja Bell or Greg Buckner or another 3 or 4 players who I could name who would belly up and stop the other scorer. Howard needs to be a defensive player who is the 7th man or so. He does not need to shoot the ball outside the paint. And Mr. Cuban, You are a great guy. The Mavs would have never been a factor these last years without you, but Sir, the officials hate you. And they take it out on your team. and the League office hates you. It's just like another well known Dallas owner, Mr. Jones. There are not many people who have ever been born that were better human beings than Jerry Jones. Just a great man in many ways. But how many championships will the cowboys miss and have they missed while he tries to prove he is a "football guy". He is not a "football guy". And Mr. Cuban, you are not a basketball player or a coach. You do not need to be in the players faces and the coaches face and on the damn stationary bike or anywhere near this freakin team. You need to get the hell out of the t.v. screen. You need to sign the checks and the next time you are seen by the general public needs to be when your nemesis Mr. Vegas Stern hands you the championship trophy. Cause if it aint that way there will be no championship trophy. And sir, that is keepin it real. Basketball is fake anyway. The celtics and lakers have been set up to win with trades that helped only those two teams and the league. Hey, Why not take Chris Paul and Boozer and the big guy who just emerged out east there and put them on the knicks? Then you can get lots more for those 30 second spots for the panty liners and the steel belted radials. Whatever you do. Fire Avery and let him go be the Edie Robinson of College basketball, the job he was made for. The man is no more a pro coach than Quinn Buckner was. It worked because nellie was so loose and a hard ass approach worked for awhile. Stevie Wonder could see that. What really sucks is that this team had a shot to win a couple championships and they blew it. You can’t win if you can’t stop anybody. Keep Dirk and Kidd and get rid of the rest if you can.

If Cuban went and got some Carters and Jeffersons for him so he can do what he does best and kept Dirk, Jet, Bass, Stack (I think he deserves to stay), Josh, and maybe even Damp, I think they'd be in good shape yea this team’s chemistry is all f’d up this roster just needs a good changing….I know I say I hate Kidd but that’s only because he doesn’t fit in at all.
