Not having any type of physical interior presence puts them in lower tier of Western conference playoff contenders. Yao and Artest abused them last night. Wait until they go up against Bynum, Chandler, Amare, etc. Btw, the Warriors are much more physical than the Mavericks. See 2007

So physicality relates with interior presence, yet the Warriors, who beat the Mavs with the 3-PT shot and Davis dominating Devin Harris are more PHYSICAL than the Mavs? Yeah, that makes sense.
Diop and Dampier are above average interior defenders. Low post scoring is lacking, which is what'll probably hold this team back in the playoffs.
as if he has any offensive game whatsoever outside of alley oops from Chris Paul?

I aplogize for not elaborating Chandler+West+Posey
Chandler is a shot blocker and nobody would qualify him as "soft". Please don't try to defend the Mavericks in any way on this board. It will only put a target on your back.

Posey is Bruce Bowen reincarnated.

Your arguments have been quite stupid I must say. Damp/Diop are physical interior presences just like Chandler, in fact they even average more blocks.
West is good, but more of a mid range jump shooter (isn't his nickname 15 foot assassin?)... kind of like Dirk, except Dirk is better and gets to the FT line more. Nobody is going to mistake EITHER for a "low post presence".
Posey, good defender and a good role player.
Bottom line is, "soft" is the stupidest term coined in basketball. Let's reserve that for boxing and football and other contact sports, not a sport where breathing on someone can sometimes warrant free throws.
And I'm not defending the Mavs, I'm fairly certain we will be outside of the T5-6 in the West this year.

not really. I watch basketball, I also watch MMA boxing and football. I know what a "physical" sport is.

I shouldn't have said unanimously, but most people agree that he is. What's so shocking about that?

That would be pretty lame on Boston's part. Stacking their basketball prestige by adding players to the rafters that did not play much of their career there? Imagine if Karl Malone or Gary Payton did that with the Lakers, it would be a joke. I understand he got his ring there but he should retire it in Minnesota.

I love KG as much as the next Celtic fan, but for him to have any chance at having his number hanging from the rafters I'd say he needs to win at least 2 more titles and play at the level he did last year. Even that may not be enough, the only reason it would be is because he has already received so much credit for returning the Celts to prominence, a couple more titles and high level play, and keep in mind he just played his 1,000th game,may be enough, maybe not.
Pierce will most likely have his hanging someday, he's put in his time with the team and after his performance in the playoffs, he cemented his place with Celtic greats.
