ANOTHER close loss

[ThuglifeJ]

This is getting ridiculous, Mavs always make such stupid plays to end close games. Tonight Wright friggin turns it over after a stupid interior pass idea by Mayo. Why not just run a normal play instead of running around headless.

Then we pray and hope Carter hits a contested catch and shoot 3 with a second left off inbounds..

why is Carlisle so bad at making plays to end games? He doesnt even call a time out to attempt to draw one up he just tells them to go because he knows he's got nothing..


could you imagine if we won like half of the games at least that went down to wire? we'd be in playoffs.

btw Mayo might have made that one big 3 however many games ago but he is NOT clutch.. he always looks so hesitant and scared at the end

[Skizzik]

Yup, we need a closer. Dirk not being healthy hurts a lot. But even if he was...it would be a lot to ask him to end every game alone.

[TS8821]

Look at the roster and you will see why they can't finish at the end. This team is lucky they are not the worst in the west, and unlucky for the fans. Below average youngsters surrounded by past their prime veterans. Terrible mix up of talent. Cuban made a huge mistake after the finals. It was a gut-call gamble that he failed on. It just so happens it may have set this team back 5 years. Thank god dirk got his ring

If yall remember, the heat had a year of absolute sucking, now look where they are at. We are not set back 5 years by any means...i mean look at the grizzlies, they have to settle for .30 cents on the dollar trade wise because they dont know business....Cuban will still do right to us and we will have a squad pretty soon.

^The Heat also had Wade who was still in his prime and in his mid 20's to attract Bosh and James to sign there. We will have a 35 year old Dirk come July to attract free agents. HUGE difference. The only way this team is going to back to the good old days of winning 50 or more and making the playoffs is by building through the draft and by the time we get some players to build around Dirk will either be too old to deliver another title, will have retired, or will have signed with another team.

The heat also had a young wade who could convince two of the top 10 players in the league to join him.

This and we seriously need to start to care about our draft picks

[King41]

an outside fan just reading (actually a warriors fan)... but you should appreciate having an owner like mark cuban. He will not let the mavs be bad for too long. They might not be champs soon, but I wouldnt expect them to continue being a lotto team.

BTW- yes bogut probably hit b wright on the forarm but it wasnt as blatant as carlisle was making it. would have been a weak call to decide the outcome of the game.
