[...] Jones’ and Chris Anderson’s, Nene is a beast, JR Smith is a sparkplug off the bench who responds well to taunting, Kleiza can also heat up in a hurry, Carter is a dependable backup, George Karl suddenly has a team [...]

Thanks for doing your thing ‘hype. At least the trolls will probably scurry away now.

It’ll be a bittersweet topic discussing trades this season, but I look forward to the superstitions you guys somehow extract (speaking of which, who were on the 2 playoff tickets this post-season?).

@ yeah, well. Hopefully he’ll get traded, for his sake.

But anyway, folks, it’s been a good season. Thanks for being here! We’ll have plenty of post-season stuff still, so come back!

Fans, as you know, are an unreliable source for estimating any player’s worth. Mavs fans are fickle like everyone else. Trust me, I went through our 20-win seasons as a fan. Most enjoy winning and not the sport. You think the fans would be mad if the refs didn’t call all those phantom calls for Wade, subsequently giving the ‘chip to Miami?

Personally I feel the Mavs team was just unreceptive to such strict discipline (geez, look at Josh Howard), and some backlash spurned from it.

Kind of like some of us don’t think Scott is all that great. I just don’t know if another coach will be able to do anything different with some of these same guys. It goes deeper than just the coach.

I’ve read where some of their fans didn’t think he was all that great either.

Obviously Cuban and the players that played for him didn’t think he was all that great. Otherwise he’d still be there.

Avery was too stubborn, yes, but I’d like to see some discipline from our squad. The way we play (even last season) never seemed to have accountability. The only reason people were pissed at Mavs+Avery was because of that inability to capitalize, which is very understandable, but at least he gave a shiz.

He was vocal, animated, and had very high expectations, none of which appear to be coach Scott’s strong points. Faults and failures notwithstanding, I thought Avery was great in Dallas; I really do. His stubbornness isn’t the reason to prevent us from at least considering Avery. I just feel coach Scott was never coach of the year, nor much beyond a player’s coach. I’d love to see him as assistant, but I’m not sure his pride will allow that. We just need something to help spark more confidence, whether that be a new coach, new squad, or relocation. Just kidding on the last one, although I hear we may be moving to Europe…? Haha (c) AtTheHive

Regarding other coaches, I don’t know. I’ve only followed the Mavs and Hornets closely in this league.
