At least wait a month before you say he's done.
I never said he is done, he just isn't at his prime anymore. he is still one of the best players in the league when healthy, but he won't dominate like he used to anymore

It started before he won a title.

He was supposedly in decline then. Until he mutilated all those defenses in the playoffs.

He isn't relying on raw athleticism to be great. Just skill, size, conditioning. There's very little to believe he can't be effective at an elevated age.

He lacked quickness and speed when he entered the league at 19.

I dont know who was saying that then, I never heard anything about him declining. The criticism I heard of dirk was all about his mental toughness, not his skills declining. You guys won't agree with me and will acuse me of beig a hater, but it's just a fact of life, he isn't as good as he was in his prime anymore and won't be at that level ever again. You are dreaming if u think 2011 dirk will return for more than a chameo every once in a while

Wow I haven't seen this thread in weeks lol I was wondering why nobody posted but on second thought I knew right away. I can't lie I am a Mavs fan but this year has been just blah. Not too much into basketball this year, mainly because the Mavs are horrible lol

Hang in there...it's getting better.

Plus all the non playoff team except the Mavs are stinking it up. And Houston is begging someone to take their playoff spot
It could get fun here in a week or two

In the Dallas Morning News today the Mavs players said that although they all realize its way too early to pay much attention to the standings, Rick Carlisle never quits reminding them that "this is a Playoff Franchise".

The in no way want to be the team that ends the current 12 consecutive year playoff streak.


GO MAVS

We gotta be hovering around the record for most overtime games / most overtime losses.
