If only Dirk could post up , this series would have went in a total different direction. A PF such as Tim Duncan or Kevin Garnett who can play back to the basket kinda ball would have slowed down the pace and allowed the Mavs to set the tone. But at the same time, when a team is coming down the floor hitting circus threes there's nothing you can really do about it, but give them credit for hitting their shots. Nelson knows everything about Dirk, his weaknesses, his strengths, so blaming him for this series might have some weight, but give more credit to nelson for executing his plan on defending dirk.
