Re: Your Team's Pros/Cons? Talk about your team's positives and negatives!DALLAS MAVERICKSPositives:-55-19 record-One of the best teams with control-An MVP contender in Dirk Nowitzki-Deepest bench in the NBA (top five backups are Erick Dampier, Keith Van Horn, Jerry Stackhouse, Marquis Daniels, Devin Harris, which is like a starting lineup itself!)-Have had many comebacks (At least five 16 point+ comebacks)-Top five rebounding team-Top three blocking team-Top five scoring/offensive/scoring differential team-28th in defense in 2003-2004, 14th best in 2004-2005, and 7th THIS season!-7 game winning streak-13 game winning streak-DeSagana Diop was a GREAT signing-Adrian Griffin was a clutch signingNegatives:-Horrible APG (good isolations, though)-Keith Van Horn is out for the rest of the season-Adrian Griffin is still injured-Marquis Daniels has had injury problems with his neck and ankle
Re: Your Team's Pros/Cons? Boston Celtics:Pro's:-Lots of athleticism.-Good young prospects.-Heart and desire to win.-Works well as a TEAM.-Good shooting team.Con's:-Defense.-Composure.-Closing out games.
Re: Your Team's Pros/Cons? Nets- Pros-ExperienceUnselfishnessLeadershipDefenseCons-Lack of a true rebounderLack of a true PFLack of an PG off the bench who can run the team (Vaughn is good defensively, but he cannot hit an open shot)Allowing teams to get back into games (although we are 34-0 when leading after 3 quarters, it seems any lead before that can be made up)
Re: Your Team's Pros/Cons? Denver NuggetsPro'sWe have Carmelo Anthony Con'sWe have Kenyon Martin I will add my real imput later.

Re: Your Team's Pros/Cons? Pros-*LeBron James*When the whole team shoots well, they play the rest of the game well and are really tough to beat.*Can be good on the fast break, at rebounding, and defense.Cons-*Have a problem holding onto leads and finishing games.*Can't always shoot the ball well.*Can get into huges slumps (winning slumps, shooting slumps, rebounding slumps, ect)*Not always aggressive*Hughes hurt*Jacking up shots before the plays are run.*Not always watching their man on D.I missed some pros and cons, but I am sure another Cavs fan will add them in.

Re: Your Team's Pros/Cons? I was so upset when we lost him..I thought that was it for the Nets..Its terible to see him going through these injury issues, hopefully he can regain his health and the high level of play he exhibited earlier in his career..
Re: Your Team's Pros/Cons? Washington Wizards <u>Positives</u> - Solid core of Arenas, Jamison, and Butler- Good rebounding team- Can score a sh.it load of points - Can play well in the fastbreak- Daniels and Butler were great aquisitions- Butler has brought a killer instict scoring-wise and rebounding-wise that we've never had (beast)- The rooks: Taylor and Blatche have shown good potential- We have the ability to beat good teams- Have beaten Detroit twice already :flex: <u>Negatives</u> - We build big leads early then see them disappear in the 2nd half leading to a loss- Horrible defensive team- Billy Thomas is a mediocre signing :thumbdn1: - If we're down by 10 pts or so, and its late in the game, we tend to get impatient on offense- We give up too many easy baskets- Arenas commits too many turnovers- Have no post presence- Terrible team on the road- Have players that are too inconsistent- Jarvis Hayes is injured too much

Re: Your Team's Pros/Cons? Washington WizardsPositive: We have good offence with Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison, Gilbert ArenasNegative: The good offencive skills don't transfer to defence
Re: Your Team's Pros/Cons? Hell yeah, we got AWESOME scouts.Marquis wasn't drafted, Dirk was traded for some crappy player, Howard was the 28th overall pick, Marshall and Josh Powell BOTH weren't drafted, we got Devin Harris and Jerry Stackhouse by trading for some guys who didn't work well with our team, so yeah, our scouts are top-notch.What do you mean by no headcases?Oh yeah, here's some more stuff I'll add on to for Dallas...Positives:-Great crowd-Last 10 home games of the year featured seats for $2!!-Mark Cuban-Six consecutive 50+ winning seasons (53, 57, 60, 52, 58, and 55 so far this season)-About 200 consecutive selloutsNegatives:-Seats can sometimes feel uncomfortable-Mavericks are way over the cap

And I don't count that as scout moves, Harris was picked because he was the best pg since Livingston was taken. It's one of those moves scouts aren't really needed to make. And Stack was a vet.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>What do you mean by no headcases?</div>No problematic guys.

Re: Your Team's Pros/Cons?

Re: Your Team's Pros/Cons? i don't think Wade's height is a problem. he more than makes up for it with his strength and athletic ability.
