Nah, the only offseason roster change the Mavs need is that they need to acquire the strong bench presence of Michael Ruffin. It fits perfectly.
All right if thats how you guys feel. I personally don't think JO gives you guys a better chance but lets just agree to disagree. Any way let's see if the Warriors can close out the series. I personally think that this series is going at least 6 but the Warriors might prove me wrong. It really doesn't matter to me because the Bulls won and Im happy.

Lucky for me, my roommate just made some awesome cinnamon rolls. They're not Krisy Kremes, but they're delicious.
@ PhoenixDark
Hahaha, yeah...that was a bit PG-13. I didn't expect to see Kenny finger rape Chuckwagon's manhands.

Dirk's looking like a cleaned up Geico caveman.
How is Dirk a total choker when he nails back to back three pointers in the last 14 seconds of the game?
What I see when I'm watching the game's is a Mavs team that doesn't have a hope in matching up well with the Warriors style and a coach (Nellie) that is outcoaching his old assistant.

Well...those shots were clutch. But it's hard to commend a guy for only showing up in the first quarter and the last minute of the 4th.
There was a better than 1% chance they would've won because of those late 3's.
The Warriors didn't even try to defend those Dirk three's at the end. They just sort of stood there afraid to foul. Those looks are about as clean as you're going to get in the playoffs.
Dirk did miss a couple of three pointers earlier in the game that he should have hit, and as has been mentioned that fadeaway rubbish shot off the offensive rebound was pathetic.

Dirk was the season MVP, although you could make the argument that it belonged to Nash. But once again Dirk chokes when it matters: playoffs. He's a perennial failure every May. Real MVPs don't disappear when their team needs them, as he has done this series.
He is the new Peyton Manning, there's no way around it. Dalls has enough talent and youth to compeat for years, and I think Dirk will get a ring. But he won't get one until he's a bitter old man. Look for Josh Howard to carry Dirk's ass to the championship in 2012

It doesn't take an expert to diagnose this problem. Clearly this is a severe case of TMac-itis

He's not exactly a choker. Look at who he is losing to. Dwayne Wade had one of the best series in recent history. And Baron Davis is looking almost as good this year. He's losing to better players, but he is still one of the best in the NBA.
I still wouldn't mind seeing JO traded and Dirk seems like a good switch to me. These are two of the top 10 players in the league, though.

Avery needs to give him more isos
Warriors are just disrespecting him by having Baron guard and the top of the key

You answered your own question. They should run it through Dirk on the low block. Force doubles, kick out to open men, put the game in Dirk's hands.
They're playing a modified version of Nelly Ball without the runners. It makes no sense. You don't need a world class point guard if you can give the ball to a 7 footer on the block every possession.
I agree with those points and i think the biggest problem is the first problem listed. When Jason Terry's shot is off he is rendered useless. He does not penetrate and create for others. Harris gets to the lane but most of the time he is looking for his own shot and not for his teammates. The problem is that if your point guard is not making plays for you then you have to look for other ways to get people their shots.I think this is why Avery puts Dirk at the top of the key so he can try to create his own shot or if he is doubled so that he can kick it out to open teammates. It worked last year during the playoffs but its not working this year so Avery needs to adjust.woodchuck said:
