Yep... All the supposed up tempo just went back to last year... Get the ball to Z-Bo... Sick... I've supported Dunleavy for the last time. He needs to go... I hope he takes Baron and Thornton with him... Let Lucas take over for the rest of the season...

The problem I have with Dunleavy and Gordon was the balance tonight. Dunleavy had a bright spot with bringing in the subs to come back but when you have the Mavericks tied or close you have to go to the potential threats. Not only that but Dunleavy and Baron will have a rift without a doubt.

I understand the bench got us back in the game but what I can't understand is why or best defender wasn't in the game. (Camby) Or why Baron wasn't put back in until the game was out of reach.

anybody know dunleavys email address? i swear to God imma cuss that ****** dunleavy out if i find out his email adress. someone has to just go up to and tell him: "you're and idiot" just straight up somebody has to say that to hiss ****** ass bitch ass face. the guy looks like a p3nis. a p3nis is coaching our team

Rasual Butler had way too much damn playing time and contributed nothing more than helping us lose the damn game.

Although Thornton went 2-8 with 6 points he still managed 2 blocked shots and 6 boards. They should have kept Al in the game for 1 and 2 he should have remained in the game as he still hasn't hit his potential ceiling, Butler is way beyond that right now.

And if Dunleavy realizes they both aren't doing crap at all, throw in Novak and tell him to bomb 3's, he's the only player we have that can get us back in the game incredibly fast if he's hot. He's much better than the Commissioner at 3's

Yup. Did you see Baron and Camby talking when the camera cut into them during the last 29 seconds of the game. I bet they were talking about the lack of playing time they got in the 4th. The camby and Baron connection was doing well in second quarter. BD was finding kaman as well.

It's all good guys. I still expect us to win more than 19 wins this season. If we do worst than last year with this lineup relatively healthy. Then this franchise should be abolished from the NBA for good.

I'm not sure why he wouldn't bring in Baron either. I think he sat Camby because Smith was outperforming him (he was doing an okay job on Dirk).

Smith did a good job on D and I understand why he would be inclined to keep smith in. But I dont get sitting Baron out the entire 4th. At the5-6 minute mark in the 4th the Telfair well began to get dry. It was time to bring baron in. Baron didnt get up until 48 seconds. we were down by like 7 pts.

I'm so glad I looked at the score before wasting my time watching the recording of this game just to find out we had another 4th quarter meltdown. I'm sorry to the people who spent their Saturday night on Halloween watching us lose because of the dreaded 4th quarter.

WE BETTER WIN AGAINST MINNESOTA

But I think anything less than 30 victories is disastrous. I'm not ecpecting playoffs but a mere 10 game improvement isn't good enough.

I was so freaking angry but not anymore Dumba$$ looking like a p3nis is the funniest ****. Then u say we should start calling him that, u had me on the floor laughing my a$$ Thanks i really need that....

i was sitting in the box seats for the first time ever but had to suffer through dumbleavies stupid coaching in the 4th and one guy even smashed a wine bottle on the floor and just started cursing.

Guys I think Baron is hurt. I saw him streaching his back. The reason Camby wasn't in is that Smith had Dirk's number (as much as anyone can) He bodied him so tight Dirk couldn't do much. With Blake (sorry I know he's a rook) we very well may be way better than Dallas. Till Baron went down we were smoking tonight. We lacked Defense. however but we were sitll winning. It was like swiss cheese

Toohip 3:16 The Bottom Line Son is Telfair lost the game. He took two ill advised shots and fouled a 3 point shooter then got a technical. A healthy Baron in in the 4th = 5 pt win. This was not a 4th quarter meltdown. We were down double digits and came back fast

During shoot around, Novak missed ~ 70% of his shots. Yes you heard right, missed. Remember last yr when he went into a slump and couldn't hit the back wall? He may need to go. We need a Q Ross because we do 't have a good defender except Camby. Can we trade Ricky for Q?

As far as Cakeman -- Too Sweet. The reason they kept feeding the post is CK was torching them

Most of Al's shots were highly contested and he worked hard. He didn't get his number called and he can't create. Also he was guarding Marion and is too short.

Yeah Butler may play with the offense but that's because he doesn't take any shots. He just passes the ball. Hell anyone of us could do that and keep the offense going. He did have a solid game in Phoenix but other than that, hasn't done much of anything.

If you look at Al's stat line, it looks like he was chucking again tonight. He wasn't and he certainly wasn't a black hole. 80% of those shots were in the paint, just couldn't draw the foul, but at least grabbed the board.

I agree, if Al and Butler don't get it going quickly just throw in Novak. Because the SF position needs to be contributing more points.

Bassy and Smith outplayed BD and Camby which is why they sat the 4th, but the vets certainly should of been put in with 4 mins to get when the bench couldn't make it over the hump.

Dun doesn't manage the rotations very well and puts in players to match with the other teams stars. Just because they sub out Dirk or Kid doesn't mean BD or Kaman automatically sit. Take advantage and have faith the 2nd unit can power through. They did tonight.

The situation is becoming nastier and nastier...I don't wanna think we are a lottery team once again.

Are you guys finally on board with me on something that sohould have been done like last year?

I am so frustrated right now that I am to the point where I do not look foward to watching them.

It's the same thing over and over. They come aout competitive only to let it slip in the 3rd and 4th quarter.
If that's the case, they are one Sam Cassell away from putting this team over the hill.

I am DONE with Dumbleavy and done with Baron Davis.

P.S. WTF is up with Thornton? Does somebody want to remind his arse to DRIVE IN and quit taking shots that he can't make.

That kid was a semi one hit wonder

We need the other team to adjust to us for once instead of us adjusting and reacting to them.

Well then, no offense but it seems like you were thinking and had it set in stone we would be the #7 or 8 seed in the West this year. I thought 35 wins or more was a good possibility, and as we don't play in the weak East that isn't going to cut it for a playoff team. I think 35 or even 30+ wins is a massive improvement. It would give us a draft position still of around 8-14 but we could secure a positive player ( a PG or SF would be delicious ) to add to our depth and next year Gordon and Griffin would take over as the 2 leaders of this team and become the dynamic duo we were dreaming of when we say our team was picking 1st in the draft.


I really think in the first 20 games if things aren't looking so well we really need to consider pulling out all stops to bring in Avery Johnson he's a terrific coach.

baron isnt the problem!!!!! he was never the problem, and never will be the problem!!!! its all dunleavys fault!!!!!!1 i need that guys email adress to cuss his a$$ out

So you clog up the threads with a question which you already had the answer to, just to call attention to it.

Kudos.

This very question is (repeatedly) brought up and discussed on the Mavericks thread, by the way.
