Are the Mavs now better than the Rockets?

Who gives a crap?

Question is, are we working on being better than the Spurs.

 

This topic has been beaten to death.

 

Nope.

 

Mavs have the slight edge as of right know but if we sign Shawn Marion we will become the better team

 

I did not.

 

They are better in sucking. That's why they fought so hard to acquire Parsons.

 

Gotta take babysteps like defending Lamarcus Aldridge first before Spurs even come int othe conversation.

 

LMA is one guy. To beat a team like the spurs you have to learn to excell as a team on both ends of the court, seamlessly. There is a reason why he looked human in the second round.

If we really want to improve, we should focus on building a strong identity with everyone excelling at their given roles. A huge part of that is our system.

 

I wouldn't say they stole Parsons. They overpaid Parsons.

 

Memphis definite is

 

In a game of NBA Jam, the Rockets may have a slight edge, but in the NBA, they actually play 5 on 5.

Tyson Chandler, Dirk, Parsons, Monte Ellis, and Jameer Nelson is way better than Beverly, Harden, Ariza, Jones, and Howard.

Hell, I think I'd rather have Dirk, Parsons, and Monte over Harden, Howard, and Ariza.

 

What would the Rockets offer to the Celtics for Rondo now? I thought Parsons would be a good trade chip for Rondo, but the Rockets can't trade him anymore. I don't know what Morey was doing. He should never have let him become a RFA this year. If anything, he could look to trade him before he became an UFA next year if he really didn't believe he was "star" quality.

 

Only 2 months ago you were telling us Matt Barnes was better than Parsons, Matt freaking Barnes.

Isn't it really just time you ****ed off?

 

Monta and Jameer are negative players.

So if you think that adding bad players makes teams better, then yes you're right.

 

I don't think I said Matt Barnes was better than Parsons. I think I was answering some thread about who are comparable players with Parsons. Barnes is a nice glue guy for the Clippers...except when he is collecting technicals.

 

Monta Ellis may take a lot of bad shots, but at least he plays solid defense. James Harden doesn't play any defense so does that make him a negative player?

 

Monta Ellis? solid defense? Have you ever umm, watched Monta Ellis?

 

Monta Ellis is a horrid defender.

 

Monta used to be a poor defender when he was on the Warriors...maybe due to their style of play, but last year on Dallas, I thought Monta was a really solid defender. Even Mark Cuban is impressed with his defense...haha.

That explains him paying Parsons $15 mil to be a defensive stopper.
