Mark, I find it comical that you’re excited about an ancient Doug Christie. If anything, he’s going to slow the progress of Josh and Marquis. Realistically, the Mavs have no chance of winning the title this year, so why not groom the young guns for the future? Christie’s game is near 100% athleticism-dependent and he’s damn near 40 years old. On top of that, he’s a notorious choker and is involved in one of the strangest relationships in sports history (crazy Jackie). I will admit, he had his moments on the Kings, but those days are long gone and so are Christie’s skills. If Petrie was willing to throw him away for nothing, what makes you think he’s got anything left in the tank? Enjoy your first-round exit… I know I will.

Mark, you might want to change the link for Good Night and Good Luck because the current link refers to IMDB Pro, which only a few people have access to. Here is the correct link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433383

too many negative comments, if doug christie never steps a foot on the court, his work ethic has never been questioned. if he can instill that onto marquis, howard and dharris then the siging was a success. a new season always brings excitement. every year there are the non beleivers who say the mavs will not amount to anything, and every year they win 50 plus games. this year will be the same, but this year not only do we have the talent to put on the court, we have a vision/direction provided by avery that i think wasnt there in the past. defense wins championships and we are putting the pieces in place to make that run. MFFL!

hey mark, since you plugged and promoted (nevermind, its your own blog), is it okay that i do the same. planning a party? check out my website, http://www.dallaspartyrental.com

One comment for one comment made above:

1. Just because you didn’t understand what I meant when I said Dirk is BAD! doesn’t mean you have to explain why Dirk is so BAD!

P.S. Someone that is COOL person isn’t necessarily lacking heat.

How dare you say Dirk is Jordanesque! There’s no way he gets away with as many fouls as Michael Jordan! He relies on pure skill and effort, not marketing and showboatmanship!

P.S. No, RELIES doesn’t mean someone tells a lie and then tells it again.

The key to the Mavericks success is the development of Marquis Daniels, who has the ability to become a Jamaal Wilkes-calibre championship player. I hope that Coach Johnson will provide him with sufficient minutes to fulfill that potential.

Who didn’t hate Doug Christie when the Mavs were playing the Kings? I think Mavs fans hated all the Kings, not just Christie. In fact, I think I *still* hate CWeb just for being associated with the Kings during the time that I have been a Mavs fan. Childishly, I wish that once you get attached to a team you could keep it around for a while – unless your team is lousy and then you want to change it as fast as you can. It seems we have to cheer for a “collection of players, all of whom are interchangeable” instead of a team. Who *are* the Mavericks, or any other team in a league with free agency? That question is answered only in reference to a point in time. So today, Doug Christie is a Maverick and I hope he shuts down every opponent and scores 25 a night – go Doug! Although, you can pretty much invalidate my entire argument by the telling revelation that I miss Steve Nash terribly and hope he gets MVP (again).

Um, Mark, how’s about letting us HD customers know what games we can expect to see through our DirecTV HD addon package. I’m gettin’ nervous that I haven’t heard anything yet!

Mark – it would be interesting to hear your thought process in not going after Shaq a year or so ago and if you are happy with decision.
