It's probably an anomaly, but still worth noting. I remember Cuban had a serious issue with a particular official that he complained about publicly. Dallas was a very good team at the time, but the team had an awful record when that particular official worked their games.

It's nice to see him not get chit on this board. Most of you know the truth, but are afraid to admit it and need a scapegoat. Henny did have a plan and vision, but constant interference from RDV and Martins ruined the plan and vision. Yeah he made some bad FA signings, but he was pressured to win now and make the playoffs almost every year of his tenure. When you lose a player of Dwight's caliber(at the time) and go thru a total rebuild, you CAN NOT rush it. Period.

EP already in March form, he's in for a great season

Can't believe how bad Shelvin Mack is, the back-up PG spot is forever cursed.

Not that I noticed, he was playing the same way he always has. He was on the stationary bike at one point when he wasn't in the game they did show that keeping it loose and warmed up. He kind of squatted down to stretch it at one point but he didn't seem to be in any visible discomfort.

Good win and performance. Nice to have Elfrid back, his playmaking and energy are badly needed on this team.

Our best player on the team can be either Gordon, Fournier or Isaac but our MVP is definitely Payton/ Augustin.

Glad EP is back, sure would have been nice to use pick #25 on Evans. Pretty sure he would be better than Mack, when DJ and EP were injured.

We played well enough. Knicks were missing their star and on a back to back. Its a game we should win but its a possitive that we took care of buisness.

There was a fast break that he was well ahead of everyone and looked like just took it super easy and gingerly and laid it in. Other than that he looked fine. Lets hope he keeps getting treatment and does not re-injure it. We desperately need a real PG out there or we look like crap.

Than whenever DJ comes back he's reliable when he comes in and Elfrid goes to the bench. We should try to resign Elfrid and Gordon but don't pay too much for them. Biyombo should step up and give back some of his salary to the magic and get his contract restructed. That would help in resigning Elfrid and Gordon at hopefully reasonable but not crazy salary.

Idk man, I like T Ross... I think he does a lot of little things that help win games.

He has been doing that which is great. That's what players should do if you're shots not falling do other things to help. And he did knock down some 3s last night so let's hope that's a sign of him coming out of his shooting funk. If he can start making them again consistently that will give us 4 players in the SL that are legit 3 pt threats.

no one in here are hating on vooch and fouriner now right? dudes are killing it out there. i hope they can keep it up for the whole season. vooch needs to just keep shooting those 3's at practice... needs a little more work on it.

this team does not need a "superstar" if vooch, fouriner and gordon can play like this the whole season we're def going places... and we got simms doing his thing... this is a dangerous squad. im almost sold on this year being the year for a real playoff push.

damn, it coulda been 8-3

i think its time simms need to start at the sf spot... ross even said he likes coming off the bench, that hes used to it. i think he def goes back to himself quicker if they put him back in the 6th man spot

Id rather have Simms coming off the bench as he seems to be more aggressive, TRoss starting works better as a unit as he doesnt need anything offensively, just let him play D and leave the scoring up to ag,vuc,evan. I dont think Ross would have the same inpact off the bench that simmons does right now.

Been to most of the games this year, missed the last 2 but was there last night. I go to the shops every game and yell at them to let me buy a jonathon simmons shirt jersey. They only have fournier or vooch!! They said they didnt think he would be popular. Give me a break.

i think if ross comes off the bench he'll give you the same amount or more offense simms is giving...but after reading your post i think you're right... its prob best to just let him stay with the starting unit... he doesnt seem to mind he's not getting shots(hes been cold anyway)... it could also disrupt the offense since it looks like simms is looking to score most of the time
