I know what everyone's thinking...Mavs blow another game, Perry's gonna go off on them. I'm sorry, this is not necessarily a knee jerk. I don't know if Don Nelson has forgotten what he's doing or if the players have stopped responding to him. COVER freakin' Rafer Alston. This guy is not a world beater, but he was hot tonight. YOU THINK you'd wanna have somebody on him, if not two guys, at all times. Give me a damn break, games like this make me sick. I could honestly care less if Don Nelson is back next year. One of two things is true: He can't coach defense, or his players don't listen to him. Make a freaking adjustment defensively from time to time, will ya? I'll be seeing Alston drain threes in my sleep tonight. Either way, it's over with as far as I'm concerned. I know, I know. We had a losing slump at the end of the season last year before making a decent playoff run. Something feels different, we are losing consistently to mediocre eastern teams. Antoine Walker needs to sit out the rest of the season as far as I'm concerned. At least Jamison knows to crash the board whenever Brick Walker is shooting. Did Nash forget how to hit a game winning shot? Where's the killer instinct...it's been gone all season long. Alright, enough Mav bashing. The sixth foul on Dirk was ridiculous. The foul on Fortson in overtime was ridiculous. But it should never have been that close. I'll continue to watch my team, but they are making me sick right now.
