You mean when the Heat win? The Mavs are doomed win or lose next game.

Giccin this one is for you but also for the others to see how unstoppable the unstoppable forward really is.

Cool video looking at his shot. No one can stop his fadeaway. That is the take home message.

Dirk has always done that. Its funny how now everyone is analyzing his technique as though it's something new.

Or maybe now they are tring to put science/some objective measure in analyzing what makes his shot so successful. Don't hate.

A few years ago it was the Shane Battier's hand in the face as a defensive tactic. Once they realized it wasn't effective, on to the next thing they can dig up and talk about.






I'm hating b/c they beat the Lakers!!

Dirk sticking out his knee to give him space and shooting off balance is his way of getting around players since he's slow. Yeah it works but if you D him up like in Game 1 then it not much use.

Btw, Lakers are just old and not that good.

Game 1? Game 1 Dirk scored 27 and game 21 he scored 24. Not sure your point. You can play good D on him but he will still drop 23-25 on his bad day. When he explodes, he could easily drop +35 as we have seen in the playoffs. Don't write him off so easily.

Dirk is the same age as Kobe! Fish, well he's getting there!

My point is that that same shot didn't work in the final secs with Haslem applying that D! That's his style just like Reggie Miller's style was to kick out his feet when he shoots 3's.

Who gives a shit how many points a player can drop if they can't even win the game! He's had a very memorable season but the credit is to the team's depth and the ability to spread the floor. That's whats giving Dirk a lot more shot opportunities!

For Miami, they need to stop blowing leads! Keep pounding the paint! The were doing the same thing in this game; have a nice commanding lead then they stop driving, relax on the D and rely on the perimeter shots. Next thing you know a couple 3's and an And-1 and they are right back in the game!

At least it as a good game, I love how the crowd goes silent after a home loss (for both teams). I'm not really rooting for either team, I just want to watch some good basketball.
