Kenny Smith asked the question of the season for the Mavs tonite, "If they can't beat Boston without Garnett - how do they expect to beat them with Garnett?"
The answer is that the Mavs have played out their run as contenders. Nowitski and company will tease their fans for a while longer but the Mavs have a fork stuck in their behinds already.
Expect a February fire sale in Dallas at the trading deadline. The Mavs are carrying more dead weight than any team out west.
That brings me to my observations about the ESPN rumored trade of Kidd to the Mavs; ARE YOU ALL JOKING? The guys at ESPN must go out at night, get smashed, and play with the trade checkers while ignoring the results.
Let's see, Portland gives up all their tradable assets to NJ fooooooooooooor... ...um... Devin Harris. And they do this so that the Mavs get Kidd and Thorn gets a #1 pick and a rebuilt Nets team.
Even drunk, I wouldn't buy this lanker rumor. It not only smells funny, it is funny.
Aside from the absurdity of dozens of players changing uniforms, where exactly does Dallas go with Kidd? I mean at some point Cuban must realize that he has to start over and not dig deeper. The Mavs hit their highs as long as two years ago and are running on fumes these days.
If all those Portland youth are available, Cuban would be smarter trading for them rather than Kidd.
No, Kidd isn't going to get you four former first round draft picks plus a #1 this year. On the other hand we are talking about Portland.

Necessities
Ye Newe Glory-torium
Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
