Dirk is out

[Thomas]

The Mavs haven't won a game with him on the floor so I wonder how the next week is going to go. Rough start for them.

Time for The Harrison Barnes Show! He's actually not doing too bad so far, but he'll need to rebound more consistently at PF.

They're a little overreliant on J.J. Barea though. Not sure how long he can keep that much offense going.

It's gonna be a bumpy tank ride.

Can we snag Bogut from them for peanuts?

It's a shame they couldn't put a better team around Dirk these last few years.   It just shows that unlimited resources doesn't always get you what you want in the NBA.  You have to have some luck.

Barnes playing out of position and earning over thirty points and eight rebounds in their first win. Pretty good medicine right there.

There never whas any consistency all these years. Every year, new core. Also didnt pay not resigning proven core players, like Nash, Finley and Chandler. OK they won a title after letting Nash and Finley go, but I'd argue they could have become a dynasty winning several titles would they had not. Multiple 60+ win years and sucking the playoffs.
