I don't buy the argument that Dirk is a chocker. He had a bad series. It happens. When your superstar (and yes, he is a superstar) has a bad game/series, the rest of your team has to step up, or the end result is what happened in your first round. No one to blame but Dirk? Hardly.
Wrong. Were you even watching the games? He wasn't being doubled before he got the ball in the high post. He was being bodied by a single defender. The double came once he got the entry pass.

A lot of others did step up. They were the reason the mavs were even in the games to begin with (Howard, Stack, Harris, Diop, etc.)

And I never claimed Dirk was a choker. Why don't you actually read the messages and stop wasting everyone's time?
