Well, see you later.

May 6th, 2008 Posted in Site Updates

My original plan after the season was over and Avery was fired was to rename the site and make it a more general Mavericks blog. But, after a weekend away and not having to worry about missing stories or getting a post up I’ve decided to just shut it down. Turns out I’m just not made to be a blogger.

The site achieved what it was made to do, see Avery Johnson out of Dallas. Add that to the guy I said I’d like to see as coach, Rick Carlisle, most likely getting hired and I think it was a pretty good two month run.

Big thanks to all the regular commenters that really kept the site going. It’s been a blast reading all of your comments. The site ended up getting 23,000 unique visitors from 110 different countries, which is just amazing to me.

I’m going to leave the site up and comments will still be enabled, so feel free to continue chatting amongst yourselves. Be sure to check out these excellent sites for all your Mavericks and NBA news:

It’s been fun. Go Mavs.

    Let it be known to all Maverick fans, including the nearly 300 hundred who made the wrong vote in the recent poll about coaches, that hiring Mike D’Antoni for the head coaching job would be a mistake 10 times worse than trading away Devin Harris, a mistake the I have been objected to since the day of the trade. There is a reason the Suns have not won a championship with him as head coach and that Suns fans are hurting harding than any Mavs fan. It’s because his scheme is flawed as much as Avery’s, if not more. His offense works for the games against bad teams, and works maybe half the games against good teams, which gives the team he’s coaching a good regular season record. But in the playoffs, the scheme is a disaster. D’Antoni has been preaching the same thing for five years there, and in a best of seven series, any team they face will make waste of the same ole song and dance the he has them play. Forget D’Antoni, he’s exactly what the team doesn’t need. If you thought Avery was predictable, try predicting each playoff game the Mavericks will play in. I’ll give you a hint: Not good.

    Avery Johnson,

    No, you weren’t the only to blame, BUT…

    -Doesn’t part of the blame to not get Howard motivated to play all 4th qtrs fall partly on you?

    -Regarding Tech fouls, wasn’t it you always harping your team to committ “hard” fouls instead of just playing good defense and keeping people out of the lane? It seemed everytime Dallas committed a “hard” foul, it would just rile the opposing team up more and they would go on a run.

    -Wasn’t it YOU pushing Cuban to sign Dampier, who evidently had a great year only because it was the last year of his contract?

    Greg, although I didn’t agree with everything you posted, I visited this site frequently to engage and debate with other fans about the state of our team. Although we all had vastly different opinions, our goals were the same: to see an NBA championship come to Dallas! Thanks for the blog!
