Where has all the spark and team chemistry gone? It is unfortunate to say but even though the Mavericks needed a change during the season, I tried to make myself believe that the KIDD trade was beneficial for us. BUT, Kidd doesn’t fit into Avery’s offensive scheme AT ALL (despite Dirk wanting Kidd on the team). How can there be on-court leadership when Avery is still calling the plays. And as much as I USED to like Stackhouse…he has been acting up since his two seasons full of injuries. His action of knocking the ball out of CP3’s hands shows how the Mavs progressed this season in complete fashion: Getting irritated; therefore acting up because they could not handle the pressure.
Our “top” off-season transaction: the elder Eddie Jones = What happened?
Re-signing: Devean George = oh what a selfish person, if he wanted to stay we couldn’t he prove himself he was worthy..
During season signing: Juwan who = What’s the purpose really?
Did all those nagging injuries throughout the year never allow the MAVS to get on any sustainable winning streak? Regardless, the 2007 season seemed fatal starting from GAME 1 in November.
Even though we still have some talent (i.e. Brandon Bass), Dallas is definitely in a rebuilding mode. J-Ho is being a baby and has to regain some value because he is slowly going to be “weeded” out until he gets traded for nothing. Either way, somehow Mavericks’ CONFIDENCE must regain new form and no, not the same one from 2006 playoff run. We cannot revert back to saying that. It’s a whole new scheme and it may include some personnel shake up or realization.
One thing is for sure, let’s sign a big center that’s not afraid to catch and slam the ball the way Bass does!
I will continue to be a lifetime fan of the Mavericks; however, I refuse to buy tickets until they shift gears move in a direction that will be positive for this franchise. But for now Dallas fans, LET’S GO STARS!! 3-0 to date.
P.S.
I am holding onto my Devin Harris jersey because hey! maybe he will return to Dallas in 10 years…
