Dirk is far and away the best and brightest player on this team. He is the leading rebounder and the only help he really gets in that department if from Raef. He also is the only player that we put in the box, he is the one that is willing to go into the middle time and again.
Finley is a very, very nice player and so is steve nash. Where are Fins and Nash's double doubles? Although I love both of them, the comparisons just are not close to being fair.
There is a reason that sacremento double and triple teamed dirk. They didn't double and triple team fin or nash. Go look again at game 5 and you will see who is getting hacked going to the basket, fighting for the rebounds.
Dirk is the MAN of the big three. As long as they are the big three they will all be better for it, but dirk is becoming unguardable. When he develops even a single post up shot (jump hook for example) and can pass out of the double team, watch out.
