Howard wasn't able to do anything due to his constant ankle issues, so he couldn't help out at all.
Dirk was terrible in the Finals-the team in general was very ineffective. He was dreadful against GS. Don't recall anyone outside of Howard playing well against the Warriors. Maybe if an actual center had been used for that series, considering the centers had helped with that 67 wins season and all.
But I am curious, did you hold the other players accountable for their failures in the playoffs or just the one guy?

No doubt that other players are held responsible to but being the star player, you gotta do well or at least close to average for the team to succeed in the playoffs. And yeah Terry was the one that let us down last year. He is streaky and fell into a slump at the worst time. Kidd's defense against Billups hurt us to though Billups abuses a lot of players. So yeah Dirk has to continue the way he played last year and maybe the help will be there now.
