Re: 3/26v- 4/1 Games Discussion Thread.

Actually, since he's gotten used to having Dirk out there he's become a much better distributor and I'd say more relaxed and under control. He still has his lapses of recklessness but his turnovers are way down, his assists are up and he's playing a more complete game because he doesn't have to score like that.

If anything the Mavs have been BETTER with his scoring down. The Mavs have like the fifth or sixth best record in the West since January.

I agree with you, imo this is OJ best year as a pro, it's also his most efficient with career highs in FG%, 3pt% and he's distrubuting more than he has in the past. Only average 2 points less than his career high, 1 more than his average. So I don't get his scoring has gone way down statement

If that Blake shot counted it would have been one of the greater game winners I'd ever seen, hands down.

The Nets are on national TV tonight and that means blowout loss at Portland. That's just the way it seems to go when the Nets play national games.

Last time the Nets were on national TV they blew out Dallas. I'm quite confident the Nets will win comfortably.

he came off the bench most of his years in Memphis

And hes been the only scoring option on dallas when dirk was out so his numbers were bound to spike.

If mayo were a dependable impact scorer with dirk, people would take the mavs a lot more serious. As it is nobody hardly talks about them. They are a good test for the spurs, but like i said from the beginning, if mayo carried his share theyd be even more legit

Marc Gasol playing tonight. Thought he was out a lot longer, good that it wasn't that serious.

Definitely makes tonight a much tougher game for the Knicks with no Chandler.

No JoJo tonight and possibly for the rest of this West Coast Trip either.

he has similar numbers to his starter numbers in Memphis and he's still average 15 points a game since Dirk's been back. so down about 1.6 or so with out Dirk. that's some "spike"

He's averaging 14 points since Dirk's return and the past 2 months his production has went way south.

Again, if he were a true 2nd option, people would be talking about this Mav team as a more legitimate team. As it is, they don't get that distinction.

Maybe he needs another season to fit into that role but as it stands he's struggling to do so.

And the spike I was talking about was his numbers this year compared to his Memphis days.

Bottom line is, he isn't anything special. Whatever you're trying to prove is most likely besides the point and trying to steer the discussion off-topic.

Yes, I hope the Wizards upset OKC tonight and help San Antonio gain some seperation.

Does everyone think that John Wall has finally turned the corner into an elite point guard or is this just a "lucky" streak of great play?

I'm hoping for the hometown Wiz that he's finally putting it altogether.

Edit: Wow, Wall is putting up 21.8 ppg, 8 apg and 4.5 rpg on 52% shooting for the month of March (14 games).

Ah I was working during the Dallas game. Didn't know that one was national
