dirk is showing some tremendous flashes in the post season
even when his shot has been off (1st two games) he's shown an amazing ability to take the ball to the hole, get fouled and drain the shot.
he's also been getting the ball on the block alot more.
the more his game develops, the more it opens things up for nash and finley.
the thing is, is that the jazz can talk all they want about playing poor defense in game four.
but, you can't double up on dirk, finley, and nash like they often tried.
when you double up on dirk, there's a good chance that nash or finley will be able to spot up for the open jumper or will be open as a cutter going to the bucket.
if you don't double dirk, nash, or finley, any of the three can take you to the bucket and get the deuce.
Dirk is the real deal.
he's a guy that may average 24-26 points and 10-12 rebounds while shooting 48-52% from the floor, 38-43% from three point, and 83-90% from the foul line.
he can take it to the hole, he can hit the three, he can hit the mid range jumper and he's getting more and more comfortable from the low post..at the same time, his defense is getting better and he's a very solid rebounder.
sweet.
this will just open things up for nash and finley,
re-sign finley, and the mavs are set for years to come.
they need to re-sign dirk ASAP. i think next year is the last year on his contract?
