I find it funny that Charley Rosen believes Dirk doesnt have an excuse for being tired... or that hes STILL completely useless under pressure when you look at this three pointer or the evidence in the playoffs BEFORE the crappy ref job in the finals. Apparently he doesnt watch any games except the US, and apparently any moron with some interest in basketball can throw out his illogical opinions and get a sports column. Im never reading that crap again.
"Much was made by the announcers of Nowitzki's poor performance being caused by his having played so many games the NBA season. Nonsense. There's no excuse for Nowitzki's being unable to rouse his chops for 35 minutes (for his flag and his country) in a do-or-die game against his fellow NBAers. Especially since he was Germany's only go-to scorer.
After all, was it really so surprising that Nowitzki was a dud in a critical contest?
Haven't we seen this before?"
