FRIDAY Roundup
Sefko's latest mailbag.
Q: Don't you think Shawn Marion should slow down? It seems like he is going too fast and sometimes loses the ball or gets too far in front of the play. Your thoughts?
SEFKO: This is a great question. We've all seen Shawn seeming like he's doing trying to do too much in the first five games of the season. My take is that it's exactly why the Mavericks need him. They need somebody eager to make the move to the basket or force contact to try to get a rebound. This is a perfect compliment to the Mavericks' other heavy lifters who usually play away from the rim. Yes, Marion has had a lot of missed opportunities in the paint. And I've already heard a bunch of people in the league who say he can't finish anymore and that he'll end up breaking the Mavericks' heart.
Dirk doesn't get DQ'd often
And there's a good reason. In 11 seasons, he's fouled out only 22 times. The Mavericks' record in those games? 6-16.
Mavs 'still smarting after the overtime loss' | Eddie Sefko
The Mavericks were upset at their lack of execution in the final moments. "The key things we talk about all the time, free throws, getting out on the shooter – those things are what championship teams do," said Jason Terry. "Obviously we're not there yet and we'll learn from this loss."

I stated yesterday in my Voodoo story that at 76 percent, J.J. Barea is a 'fine' free-throw shooter. A note from my man EricCeleste from D Magazine: Fish, good column. But but JJ is not a "fine free-thrower." he is averaging 76 percent for his career; the NBA average is always around 75 percent.

I'm still sour on Berea
It wasn’t just his inexcusible 0-2 in the waning moments of regulation, it’s his wildly inconsistent play. Beaubois needs some minutes.

"There were arms coming from everywhere, and I knew they weren’t going for the ball," Miller said. "I was just trying to get [the shot] up before they called some crap like ‘on the ground.’ "
"What do you want me to do?" Wright asked. "Do you want me to Derek Fisher him?"
"Give them some fucking credit, i mean for real." Jackson said.
"I just fell on my face for no reason," Bryant deadpanned. "I'm a klutz."
"Fucking right i'm preachin' it!" Carlisle replied.
"Rough life, isn't it. It's tough all over, isn't it." Smith chuckled.

Why isn’t Dirk in this ranking? It’s just so unfair.
Ariza? WTF!? I like him but, come on, man! Not even close to Dirk!!!
Joe Johnson!!? He got absolutely ass-kicked today. By the Bobkitties!!!
By stats and performances, Dirk is a no brainer top 5 in the race to the MVP right now. He’s not getting credit at all. I know this isn’t something new, but come on!
Geeez, its only week 1 !........
some of these sports commentators are scrounging for story lines……… they shouldnt even be thinking rankings and such yet !!!!!! wtf ! most of the teams dont even have their season legs goin yet…………..
