Mavs clinch losing road record

With our 21st loss on the road last night to the Oaktown Barons, we clinched a losing road record for the first time in ages...

The Mavs have been road warriors in the past, what has changed for them? Is it Avery? Does he care less because of last year's debacle??

It's a bad sign of things to come. This was happening this season before Kidd got here so I blame the coaching staff on this one moreso than the players...

The trade talks alone hurt a lot because rumors were popping up all season about different players on the team (Dirk last offseason, JET-Maggette, JKidd, etc.). But the actual trade did hurt a lot because we lost all of our speed in Devin and our big man in Diop. You are destined to get a losing road record when you give players like Malik Allen 37 minutes against a team who is also fighting for your playoff position.

Last I checked, Harris was being chastized, Diop, Ager and Hassell was benched, while Van Spare was enjoying not exactly retirement before the trade. Only one player could the trade talks have affected and that's Harris. The others never hardly saw court time.

Jut the fact alone that a trade could happen has to mess with players minds... Just look at Devean George, the night the trade was announced he goes 0-11.

That's normal for him though. Unfortunately.

there was more to that shooting than the trade. He was caught in the middle between Cubes and Bartlestein. I am surprised he has made a shot since then. If he fired Bartlestein he would be re-signed here. I guarantee that.
