Re: Stack suspended for Game 5! <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>What do you have against Stack? He played great the first two games, hes just been struggling lately.</div> Heatfan, mavsfan is the board's what you call the token Stack basher. He thinks Daniels who I have to say struggled against the Heat's reserves with his time out there can provide the bench spark we need. Not taking away from Daniels but our bench sucks really without Stack, Harris is starting again, that leaves Griff, Van Horn, Daniels, DA for our bench. I'm not counting Damp because he comes in at 8 minutes. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Dirk gets 40 and Howard gets 30 than I'm sure the rest of the team can find a way to get the other 30.</div> How about you stop assuming what Howard and Dirk are going to get, especially though those types of numbers. Dirk has not come close to 40 in this series and Howard getting 30? He has yet to hit 30 in a playoff game I believe, he came close but I don't believe he hit the 30 mark yet. This is a bad loss for Dallas, despite what mavsfan thinks. And on the suspension, it's a weak one just like Benga's.

Griffin is there for defensive purposes but he is very efficient. Same with Harris though he has been struggling as of late. Dirk can't get enough touches imo. He needs to go back to that midrange game that has made him so effective.</div>LOL wow your totally right there. Dirk has been getting 40 points every game this season and Howard has gotten 30 every game to huh. Theres no way they cant do it this game. I mean cmon this has to be one of the worst posts Ive seen on here. Hoawrds hasnt been averaging 30 ppg in this series and Dirk definetly hasnt been averaging 40. Hes only had one game in the whole playoffs where hes had 40+ points in the 50 point game. I mean you cant assume anything like that. Do you know anything about basketball???Anyways I dont get why these dumb suspensions keep coming. I mean there making this game a lot less physical and its making it less exciting. I mean I wasnt alive in the 80's but ive seen NBA games on ESPN Classic before and it was a lot more physical and you got a way w/ a lot more. I mean now a days its practically just you touch someone its a foul. It makes the game less exciting.All these suspensions are beginning to piss me off. Hopefully Stack being gone doesnt hurt the Mavs in game 5 to much because if it does this could cost them there first title ever. LOL I wish i could've seen Mark Cubans reaction after he heard the news.
Re: Stack suspended for Game 5! I think he's coming back AFTER Game 5...HEY, it IS possible to make predictions.I predicted 50 points and 15 rebounds for Dirk for Game 5 against Phoenix, and he got 50 and 11...no joke, either.I was KINDA being sarcastic, but I could see it .
Re: Stack suspended for Game 5! I don't see the "consistency" everyone is claiming. What other situation does this compare to? Raja Bell? I mean, is fouling someone hard on a fast break really the same as intentionally clotheslining someone on the perimeter?This is the second ticky-tack suspension on the Mavs. Yeah, it's clear that there isn't a bias against other teams, that's for sure.
Re: Stack suspended for Game 5! David Stern is a fag. I think that most of his suspensions are awful. You cant just go suspending guys in the playoffs like you can in the regular season. It is far too important. The only suspension this playoffs that i believe is accurate is the Jason Terry. You cant just punch a guy but a hard foul is just a hard foul. Move on....
Re: Stack suspended for Game 5! Wow this is total BS - that was a genuine hard foul, even shaq admitted it. If you saw the press conference after he was like "my daughter takles me harder than that when I get home." this is bs.
Re: Stack suspended for Game 5! <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Isnt Mbenga supposed to be back for this game?</div> Yea, his 6 game suspension is up after last game. He should be in gear for Sunday.

Re: Stack suspended for Game 5! Dirk has a better chance of getting 40 because there will be more shots availabe for him and the game will have more ball movement. Sure now that Stackhouse is out there is more pressure on Dirk but at the same time he can't hide behind Stackhouse anymore and just take those shots instead of passing out to Stackhouse which usually ends up being a bad shot. Stackhouse hasn't brought his game to Miami but I agree with one thing now. Griffin should be starting so Harris can add some energy off the bench. Dampier counts as the bench. I just hope Avery hasn't taken away all the confidence of Daniels.
Re: Stack suspended for Game 5! That foul was very unneccesary. I mean,come on you are down by 20 or so points in the 4th quarter why would you foul shaq? Just let the man have the layup and lose the game already. I do not think he should have gotten suspended but he should have gotten ejected from that game.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (mavsfan1000 @ Jun 17 2006, 01:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Dirk has a better chance of getting 40 because there will be more shots availabe for him and the game will have more ball movement.

So this is not a very good thing for Dallas and can only be good for Miami.

Sftu about Stack holding Dirk back and not opening up shots for him. If Stack is holding Dirk back, then that's Dirk's own damn fault. And his struggles in this series are his own damn fault. He's reverted to last year's Dirk where he's passive and not aggressive. He's being easily frustrated, Stack has nothing to do with it. And Stack has brought his game to the Miami series. His only bad game was game 3. He did well in game 4, it's just Dirk and Howard decided to not show up. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I just hope Avery hasn't taken away all the confidence of Daniels.</div> Excuses, excuses for you golden boy. Daniels is a fluke as of right now. The guy had one great playoff run in which we loss. And has never gone back to the form, because you know why? He's not that good. He will most likely be traded, and as for Stack, don't worry about him. He's up after next season. Also, what happened to improving your posting mavsfan, you still don't post in other threads not Mavs related and you still bi*ch about Stackhouse. I see no improvement.
Re: Stack suspended for Game 5! I just get annoyed with people saying losing Stackhouse for 1 game is a huge blow. The only 3 players on the team that would be the case are Dirk, Howard, and Terry. The others Dallas can do fine without. I don't have a lot of interests so that is why I don't post in a lot of threads. Daniels is not a fluke. He was doing great as a starter earlier in the year until Daniels realized he had no chance in getting minutes again once Stackhouse returned. That I think really hurt his motivation but oh well. I don't understand why Cuban signed Daniels only to trade for Stackhouse.

Also that Stack trade brought us not only Harris but Laettner a large expiring contract that enabled us to get Dampier. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Daniels is not a fluke.

He was average, and so Stack comes back, Daniels drops in his game? Makes no sense, if his game drops because a player returns, he's not that good.
Re: Stack suspended for Game 5! Like I said he was doing fine until Avery yanked him out of the rotation. Daniels already proved he needs more playing time to be effective. Also it would help if they setup plays for him in which he is going towards the basket but I don't think Avery designed any.

If he can't adjust to the bench, he will be gone.
