A Struggle Within the Organization?
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007The Mavericks front office is an intriguing one, starting with owner Mark Cuban, who is probably one of the best owners in professional sports. At times, he can be annoying with his slighted remarks and condescending attitude, along with his desperate need for stardom and media attention. I heard a rumor on the radio today [...]
Reyshawn Terry Heads for Greece
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007According to 103.3FM ESPN Radio, Donnie Nelson announced Tuesday that Reyshawn Terry will be playing this coming season in Greece. Terry will play one year for Aris in Greece, with hopes of having a spot on the Mavericks’ roster next year. The Mavs don’t want to surrender their rights to him, but there just isn’t [...]
Diop Should Replace Damp
Sunday, August 26th, 2007It’s an interesting quandry that the Mavs will face this season. Erick Dampier has been a disappointment ever since he relocated to Dallas. His contract is far too bloated for his performance. And, let’s face it, once Shaq calls you a girl, there’s not a whole heck of a lot you can say or do [...]
Are the Mavericks Tough Enough? Part Two
Saturday, August 25th, 2007
Is it really an issue of toughness? Or is it coaching? This is another question mark brought up in the media. I have read some comments that say Avery is in the “hot seat” this year. There are comparisons between Avery and Nelson, and Avery and Poppavich.
Avery obviously wants to emulate what [...]
Are the Mavericks Tough Enough?
Friday, August 24th, 2007I was visiting a local mavericks blog, Mavelous, and was inspired to capitalize off of Jake and his readers’ comment momentum on the argument of whether the Mavs are tough enough. Jake referred to some ridiculous article on Hoopsworld about how the Mavs should consider signing Charles Oakley, implying he would bring toughness and veteran [...]
Dallas Stocking Up on NBA Vets
Thursday, August 9th, 2007There is a lot of speculation that James Posey, PJ Brown, and Chris Webber are all possible candidates to be role players for the Dallas Mavericks. Although I don’t agree with the thought process, as a Mavericks fan, there is nothing else to do except hope for the best.
It’s obvious the Mavs are ripping a [...]
Are the Mavericks Over-Thinking or NOT Thinking?
Friday, August 3rd, 2007Eddie Jones, the newest addition to the Dallas Mavericks, will be announced on Monday. But why Eddie Jones - a 35 year old has been? I don’t have a clue and I don’t think the Mavs’ front office does either.
Why don’t these formally usable and talented NBA vets retire with some dignity? Austin Croshere [...]
