RE:Two big games needed for Mavs' Big Three
30 points, 11.5 rbs, 3.5 blk, 2.0 stls, shooting close to 54%. Yeah pretty "solid".
Problem is that people still think "big three" when they think about the Mavs. In reality it is "Big Dirk" plus 3 - 4 pretty good players plus a couple role players. Especially Nellie and Dirk himself will have to get this through their heads. I´m sure the media would take notice. As long as you hear that "Big Three" BS from the Mavs themselves the media won´t drop it either. In this case Dirk will be held responsible for the shortcomings of the other two members of the "big three" to a certain degree, plus his individual performance will be underrated by most.
