Yada, yada, yada just like your man love for ROMO and the Cowgirls. Aren't you from Louisiana or not? Now if you were born and raised in Texas I understand your problem. But I still can't believe you will still try and pull some of those lame Dallas vs Louisiana comments again. As far as the crowd I thought some of my family talked about it pouring rain last night. Still 15,000 in that town is great for right now.
BTW, the HORNETS are 2-1 vs the Mavs this year. And yes the Saints have won the last 5 in a row against the Cowgirls.
I went to my first NBA game last night. Hornets vs. Mavs. The Hornets whipped some Mav a**! It was a neat experience that i hope to repeat (aside from the $12 double shot rum drinks I consumed). I also had seats 8 rows from the floor, so that was cool.
[quote=TYLERTECHSAS;585053]The Mavs did this deal to counter the New Orleans Hornets rise to power in their own division and to counter Chris Paul. Don't tell me you N.Louisiana (Dallas wannabes) guys are rooting for a Dallas team again! When are you going to learn? Your from Louisiana fellas. BE PROUD!]
I'm not. Lot closer to Dallas from where I grew up than it is to New Orleans (just like it is for north Louisianians, too).
Tyler, I like a lot of your viewpoints, especially on politics and religion. But I totally disagree with you about the Dallas vs. NO sports competition. Until the Saints actually put together a string of winning seasons, and are considered a threat in the NFC for several years, and win at least 1 SuperBowl, there is no comparison between the Saints and Cowboys.
Any GM in the league would take Dirk over West. You are being a homer or smoking something. Don't forget when looking at the stats that every team goes into a game against Dallas with stopping Dirk as their number 1 priority. He is double teamed almost constantly. West doesn't go through anything remotely similar. Again there wouldn't be one GM that would take West over Dirk. Put the pipe down my friend. Also on Kidd vs. Paul I would take Paul believe me and Paul scores more points but Kidd rebounds like a PF and has more experience which is key in the playoffs. He is also a better defender. I'll take Paul but not by a mile. Not even close.
Watch what happens when the playoffs start Bluecrew. You'll see. We can revisit this conversation in a ccouple of months. Again the Hornets will not make it out of the 2nd round.
I just love pulling a few chains now and then. I'll let Bigdog13 and inudesu slide since they are actually from Texas. But for the rest of the N. Louisiana bandwagon (LSU type) fans that cheer only for winning Dallas teams instead of their true born and/or raised Louisiana teams , I think they are a tad sorry.
TBTW, thanks for the other comments parisdog. I enjoy yours as well.
Hey I would take Dirk over West but Dirk doesnt play defense or rebound. I think Mavs are a threat dont get me wrong...Believe me when I talk about predictions with ANYBODY I take the "Homer" glasses off. BTW I think "playoff experince" is the most over-rated phrase in sports.
Are you serious? Dirk doesn't rebound?? Huh?? And he is a much better defender than you think. He isn't great by any means but he has quietly gotten much better on defense since he came into the league when he was terrible.
Again, you think Dirk doesn't rebound?? He has averaged about 9 a game throughout his career and he does it while usually playing on the permieter. I follow the NBA pretty closely and have never heard anyone say that before.
Again the stats you see with Dirk are while facing constant double teams with the defense focusing totally on stopping him. You don't give him even close to the credit he deserves.
Believe me he has his weak points but man you are hard on the guy.
