It is still beyond me that Avery is benching Damp again and again against the Warriors and afterwards complains that they couldn´t get a stop.
I just don´t get it.

At least they’re not the Heat.

haz says:
to be honest, they shouldn’t be in the playoffs without dirk. mavs should be out.

nothin personal says:
I hope the Rockets don’t make it, it will be the proof of the insanity that is the Western Conference. Plus, I wouldn’t enjoy another first round exit for Tmac

daniel says:
i would much rather see the nuggets and warriors make it. those two can beat any team on any night, the mavericks just stink against good opponents and are good against mediocre taems.

Mar.31 at 3:01 pm

money says:
the west is just way too strong this year. 1-9 all the teams are phenomenal, and with dirk getting injured no one seems to be stepping up when it counts. so the mavs are a good weak team that might miss the playoffs if denver doesn’t make it.

That’s what Cuban gets for signing Kidd. That guy’s bad KARMA. Worst trade ever.

TFan says:
“That’s what Cuban gets for signing Kidd. That guy’s bad KARMA. Worst trade ever” Kidd went to finals twice. How bad the KARMA????

yeah i agree that was a bad a trade and the mavs are boring to watch

give them a play-in series against the warriors hahahaha

jeremy says:
they aint gonna make it…by the time dirk gets back it will be too late…theres not many games left and there already been slidin 4 a while…there gettin ready to hit the bottom…and 4 the record Dirk does not suck…i aint no monster fan of him or nuthin but i aint no fool…unlike Khalid Salaam…

Mar.31 at 5:12 pm

Ethan says:
wonder if they would trade 4 kidd again…10-9 aint too great to be talked about so much

‘06 Playoff Mavs seem so distant now…

albie1kenobi says:
after the all star break, i remember people were saying that a major injury in the west will be detrimental to the player’s team, leading to the team failing to make the playoff. well, here it is.

dirk does suck

Mar.31 at 5:33 pm

speedy says:
I think it just ain’t cool to post the same comment again and again especially if it’s that far from reality .
Dirk had some downs in the last two years but he had a lot of big moments before . Thats something you can’t denie. I think basketball reflects life and it’s rare that you never have been down in your life .
But hey, keep on hating.

go nuggets!

Jukai says:
I haven’t heard Khalid make a good basketball comment the entire time I’ve been here, but as long as he keeps Slam running, he’s a-okay in my books.

Mar.31 at 6:21 pm

D.J. says:
How can dirk suck if he’s been an all-star almost his whole career. sure he’ s no where near athletic, but he’ll damn sho’ splash one in yo eye…too bad i cant say da same 4 j-kidd tho. but ya da mavs r done 4.

Mar.31 at 6:22 pm

Bro. D. says:
He’s no Robert Traylor.

Mar.31 at 6:49 pm

thesubwayconnection says:
Meh. I called it awhile ago. That JKidd trade was bad. I seriously doubt the Mavs will be making a postseason appearance this year.

Mar.31 at 7:18 pm

GuessWho says:
Give Dirk some peace, if not you’ll have to talk about all thoses guys without a ring… Malone/Stockton, Charles, Ewing, D. Wilkins, Nash (never even played in the final!), Mullin, Mutombo, The IceMan, Iverson, Elton Brand, and more…… and more…

Young Chris #3 says:
I think there was a typo in the headline. Shouldn’t it have read “Mavs Will Miss Playoffs, Live on in Infamy”? Sidenote: Have two teams that met in a Finals ever fallen off as fast and as hard as the Mavs and Heat? Should 2006 just be erased from the NBA record books? They are like the opposite of the Celtics and Hornets.

Mar.31 at 7:32 pm

Young Chris #3 says:
And Jukai was apparently drunk when he submitted that last comment…

Mar.31 at 7:36 pm

Young Chris #3 says:
And for the trifecta, Dirk Nowitzki is the softest player in the league, and it hasn’t just been the past two years either. Dude’s always been impotent when it counts (Can’t seem to get “up”).

Mar.31 at 7:47 pm

The Answer says:
Yeah it’s sad the Mavs used to be one of my favorite teams to watch. Now they’re real boring.

albie1kenobi says:
nice. the attack of johnnyrebel again. i thought this guy was getting banned?

Mar.31 at 11:42 pm

whooo! says:
man, the effects of making the ‘06 finals are devastating. miami goes from champions, to 1st round sweep, to putting up 17 fg’s TOTAL in a game while setting humiliating records and having their coach take a literal vacation midseason along with most of the team. the mavs could go from finals chokers, to 67 game winners getting embarassed in the 1st round historic upset, to possibly not making the playoffs!?

fu(k it. The mavs will be awful despite Dirk in the playoffs. meh.

Apr.1 at 4:01 am

räuber hotzenplotz says:
basketball developed since they made the finals 2 years ago but the mavs did not, the kid trade did not help (came too late), mavs are done, an average team now. blame it on avery for not developing a system, misusing dirk and j-ho and cuban for making an awful decision - they should have kept harris.

Texaspsycho26 says:
I have to agree, KhalidSalaam sucks. Stop watching the movie Malcolm X and actually watch a basketball game.

Apr.1 at 11:47 am

Young Chris #3 says:
Would it be a stretch to assume Dirk tanked it so that he wouldn’t embarrass himself with another playoff exit in which he comes up shorter than Muggsy Bogues?

Apr.1 at 1:11 pm

albie1kenobi says:
the kidd trade was a gamble to begin with. the mavs knew they weren’t going to win a chip as the team was constructed, so they went out and got a future hall of famer. well the gamble didn’t pay off and they lost everything. it happens.

speedy says:
Dallas has 2-3 weeks time to get back into shape for the playoffs .
All guys here are very fast building their opinion.
Basketball in the NBA is to complex to judge it that fast .

Apr.1 at 5:13 pm

speedy says:
And hey young chris #3 .
Maybe somebody should crush your front row of teeth like it has been done to Dirk and then call you soft. You don’t know a damn of how hard he worked for what he is today . You see him maybe two hours a week on TV and think you can judge him.
