a real douchey comment. Dirk....a career 25 and 11 guy in nearly 100 playoff games, and this f****ng douchebag is dissing him after he hit a buzzer beater. what a twit.

Wow, what an idiot. Not only that, but Dirk HAS hit several game tiers/winners in the playoffs (Off the top of my head, gamewinner vs. Phoenix the year we lost to them, game tying 3 to send it to OT vs. Memphis, game tying and one to send it to OT in game 7 vs. SA.) Not to mention countless other clutch plays in the playoffs.

I love this article. Specially the first paragraph

Heartbreak at the Bradley Center: Mavs 115 – Bucks 113


The Bucks got Dirk’d, that much is clear. You simply cannot allow the Dallas Mavericks to have the last shot. Dirk Nowitzki is too big and too good of a shooter to stop when the game is on the line. If he misses, it’s a fluke. His fade-away is indefensible.

So on one hand it’s a huge disappointment that the Bucks let this one slip away. Score one for being upset.

But on the other hand, they had no business being in the game anyway. Milwaukee was down 18 with eight minutes and 11 seconds to go in the third quarter. Plenty of time was left, but there were few signs of life from a group that followed their worst defensive game of the year with an equally putrid start.

So in some ways it was a minor victory to even have been in the game at the end. But that’s not the way successful teams look at these types of games. Successful teams say, “we never should have been in the position to lose this game and then when it was close we should have closed it out.” And that’s what the Bucks want to be, a successful team.

So this is no moral victory and little can be taken out of this from a team standpoint aside from the lessons learned in defeat. Lessons that could prove valuable going forward. Lessons like how quick is too quick to foul when the other team inbounds with 3.8 seconds left? Or for Brandon Jennings, can someone get a better shot than me on the last possession (his answer: “Ersan’s (Ilyasova) man had doubled me, he was wide open, it’s something I’ll learn from”)?

Ah, the lessons learned in defeat.

clutch play(s) that stands out to me was game 5 of the finals. Dirk had a tremendous assist to Damp with about a minute to play in regultion and he hit huge shots in the waning seconds of regulation and OT. Either of those immensely clutch shots could have been game winners, but for D-Whistle and his striped friends.

...not one, but two clutch shots in game 5 of a final series tied at 2-2, on the road no less....that's pretty friggin' clutch no matter the outcome.

Ok here's the thing about ESPN.....if Kobe, Lebron, Wade or Melo had made that shot Dirk made the guys over at ESPN would have spent atleast 5 to 7 minutes talking about it and how great thoes players are, I'm not suprised there saying this about Dirk because if Dirk got traded to the Cavs to play with Lebron ESPN would change there tune real quick, what has Lebron won that Dirk hasn't won in his career?......everybody over at ESPN is in love with Lebron and the Cavs and also remember nobody over at ESPN pick the Magic to beat the Cavs in the playoffs last season.

Dirk has actually gotten 2 games closer to a ring than LeBron (hell, Bron-Bron couldn't even win a SINGLE game in the Finals - pathetic...)

That's what passes for excellence at ESPN. An anchor (who is just supposed to be reporting the news) offering his brain-dead opinion about something he doesn't understand.
