Around SBN: The Worst Team Ever Projected?

Morning Roundup

Sefko recaps the game and compares the Mavs to the Cowboys -- and not it in a good way.

About three months ago, another Dallas team was beating lame teams by slim margins and claiming all was right with the world.

----------------

Terry made it pretty clear with his postgame quotes that they know last night was not cool.

"But no, we didn't play well, didn't play well at all, can't sugarcoat it. It's just we've had two bad games in a row. We're fortunate to get away with a win, but it is what it is."

-----------------

If I had felt like doing a 'notes and quotes' post last night, I definitely would have mentioned that I think Antoine Wright deserves to start tomorrow against New York.  Carlisle is still saying he wants someone to fill that starting spot permanently.

...the job description for the starting two-guard spot is simple.

"Basically to play six to eight minutes at the beginning of each half," Carlisle said, "and play solid, and bring something to the table that can help us be a real solid unit during that stretch."

----------------

Jerry Stackhouse.  He's still on the team, just wanted to remind everyone because I had kind of forgotten.

-----------------

Jim Reeves has an article this morning which I find so annoying that I don't even want to link to it, but here it is anyway.  He basically says it's time to trade Josh Howard.  He points to Howard being inconsistent as the reason, but mentions his off the court stuff and dislike of the media as often as anything else.

Now, he sees a guy coming with a notebook or a tape recorder, he scuttles out of the room like a bashful cockroach.

Then again, guess I shouldn't use any form of the word "roach" when talking about Josh.

He ends the article by calling Howard the "most important player on the team", which he not only doesn't back up but also seems to contradict his point entirely...

not funny...

but since you changed the blog motto to “we can be as bad as we want”, the mavs have been just that.(especially the shooting of the quoted one)

nice wrapup though :)
—————
wright was a bright spot, but more offensively (drivin to the hoop) than defensively where he still collects fouls way to quick.
—————
if dirk doesn’t get 12 rebounds against NY then you know something.
—————
terry was …uuugh…….. until the last 2 minutes. shootingslump, anyone?

—————
a wonderful supermario by George. Got to be a world record.
—————
it seems like anyone who wants to achieve a careerhigh begs for playing the mavs

I really, really hate when the media

criticizes players’ interactions with the media.

See: Barry Bonds, T.O., and every other fairly or unfairly vilified player you can think of. Why is Brett Favre’s “having fun out there” a positive and Romo’s smiling in the huddle a sign of lack of competitiveness? Because the media loves Favre.

When your criticism of a player is that they aren’t nice to you, YOU are the story, which should be a clear no-no in journalism. I’ll get off my high horse now… that crap pisses me off quite a bit more than it reasonably should.
