Tim Legler just mentioned on the Hot List(ESPN) that Dirk showed no sense of urgency on the last play diving down to the post to get position on Bibby. I noticed it when watching the replay too. If Dirk has trouble getting post position on someone as small as Bibby then he has no business getting the ball when the games on the line. Leglers words were something like "in fairness to Nash, Dirk really didn't dive down to the post and get position, he showed no sense of urgency when it was only seconds left." All Dirk needed was about 2seconds, and he could easily get his shot off on Bibby. And if Nash can't beat Peja off the dribble, then he has no business with the ball either. He should've pulled up for the 3, and went for the win. it was probably better than the shot he got.
