rebound rate > total rebounds

Heat had more defensive boards to grab because they went up against shite offenses in the first 3 rounds.

Mavs in 5, love it or hate it punk

And it doesn't change the fact that the Mavs have no stars or all-NBA players to compliment Nowitzki

Meanwhile Kobe has Gasol, Lebron has Wade, Duncan has Parker/Ginobili, and Garnett has Pierce/Rondo..


this is indisputable, regardless of anyone's feelings toward mavs/dirk/ghazi

Dirks best help is a 38yo dude, and a 5'9 puerto rican. this team can still win the finals, but the "help" is gonna have to make open shots tonight

Dirk's supporting cast is good, far from great.

If (when) the Mavs win a title this year, it'll go down as one of the weakest supporting casts of all time... Jason Terry as the 2nd option, Tyson Chandler as the 2nd best player... and Caron Butler out.

Dirk is just a pussy that is one dimensional on the court and probably off it.


So Dirk is a pussy, eh? How many other 7 footers in the last 12 years have played more games than he has? He's come back from severe ankle sprains after missing one game. He's played through more pain than guys like Josh Howard did when he was with the Mavs, and the media constantly tried convincing us that Howard was tough.

Dirk's had his teeth knocked out by a Duncan elbow and come back within minutes.

He's never done anything off the court to suggest he's anything other than a stand-up guy. And he's easily one of the smarter guys in the NBA. Just listen to him in a post game interview immediately after the game.

I agree that Dirk isn't a pussy, but the style of play he exhibits is the kind that pussies enjoy watching the most.

You're a fricking retard.

Crashing the boards in the NBA often translates to transition baskets by the opposition. Furthermore, it makes absolutely zero sense, by the laws of physics, for a person who's fading away to reverse direction and crash the boards. It makes no sense. None. The guy who is guarding Dirk would have at least a 3-4 foot advantage towards the basket.

You need to wrap your mind behind this novel concept: Dirk is not a traditional 7 footer. You would think, after over a decade in this league, someone who claims to be a basketball fan would realize this. You cannot expect him to be everything that Kevin Garnett is, or Tim Duncan, and also be everything that he already is. He's not that player. He will never BE that player. He is what he is. One of the top players of all time. A sure-fire hall of fame player.

He's one of the greatest playoff performers of this generation.

He's scored over 25,000 points in his career.

You can try to justify your hate by any means you feel is necessary, but it just makes you come across as a child.

Jesus f'ing Christ. Yeah. Hakeem Olajuwon was a pussy, too. You know, cause he primarily shot fade-aways during his championship run with Houston.

And I enjoy watching someone who is different from every other 7 footer who has ever played this game. But that's just me.

Ok tehn Dirk needs to try something besides the fade-away.

He is top 20 but saying anything besides that would be just stupid.

Not really. He choked in 2006 and 2007. Hee is having a great run THIS year, but you are going overboard here.

It's because he isn't tough enough. He's soft. All he has is his shot. It's the best shot in the world, but there's more to the game than that. Dirk is great, but incomplete.

Words can't describe how shitty a poit you've just made. Hakeem guarded Shaq in his prime and embarrassed him. Dirk can't guard a broom.

You need to give it a rest, goober.

Youre clueless and didn't watch the Finals if you think Dirk choked in 2006.

Legendary shot over Shaq in Game 5 that goes unnoticed due to D-Whistle getting a phantom call w/ 2 seconds left.
