Gun show He might be the sweetest guy in the world. However, he hasn't won a damn thing and no one talks more shit in the NBA.
Problem is, he's the epitome of Dallas Mavericks basketball over the last decade: A guy that sits on the perimeter and shoots, plays zero defense and whose only claim to "toughness" is punching Mike Finley in the nuts and getting suspended in a HUGE playoff series against San Antonio.
Tough, my ass. Terry's a loudmouth, who doesn't put forth the effort or have the talent (one or the other, or both) to back it up.
No one respects the Mavericks? The coach thinks your soft? There is exactly one way to shut up everyone. Win. Beat the Miami Heat in 2006. Get to the Finals in any year you can.
I'm tired of the "respect" bullshit when you deserve none.
Anyway, the Mavericks beat a team from Los Angeles last night 106-100.
However, it was the Clippers. Only Dirk Nowitzki and Terry logged more than 30 minutes as cruise control as already set in.
However, this is no time to fall asleep at the wheel. The streaking 50-win Thunder are three games behind the Mavericks for the No. 3 seed and the Mavs are now just a half-game back of the Lakers for the No. 2 seed, with a huge game tonight against Kobe and Co. Also, the New Orleans Hornets jumped to the No. 6 seed last night. Should the season end today, hte Hornets would be the Mavs' first-round opponent. Something to keep an eye on, I guess, although I want really nothing to do with either New Orleans or Portland.
By the way, Corey Brewer -- the Mavericks' only athlete -- was a DNP-CD for the fourth straight game. He hasn't played since March 20. Dom Jones hasn't played in 800years. Rick Carlisle's "doghouse" is going to be the downfall of this franchise.
