The reason it was that close, was that they were insanely hot at the begining of that series. There was no way it was gonna keep up. As to talent around him. You can make a dang nice case for the talent that Mcgrady has had around him. Vinsanity is better than anyone dirk has ever played with, yes that includes steve, Ming is better than any big that Dirk has ever played with. Yes the mavs have more overall talent but they have a better second best player. That said give me dirk. Dirk has NOT been out of the first round once in the past 5 years. Its not like the mavs had one flukey run. They consistently get out of the first round.
