dirk and nash have definitely been the mavs MVP's this playoff series.
more and more the mavs look like a team that is on when they are on. No offense meant to finley, but nash and dirk have taken over the reigns that lead this team to victory.

Let's put it this way. Lastnight, Dirk and Nash DEFINATELY took over that game and got us the lead. Fin, just closed the door, but Dirk was UNFREAKING believable lastnight!!!! God is he good!!!

just a trend i've noticed over the past year and a half

Look into my thread.
I think it´s pretty much the same.

yeah, i've read yours, lams, crippler's and dj's points
all very valid.
juwan just needs to learn his place and finley has to accept that juwan's place isn't right alongside him at the top of the team
his spot is as a 4th option scorer and a guy that needs to rebound

i don't think juwan, finley, or nellie realized that for the first few months he was here, but i think finley and nellie are getting the point

I don't really think you can say we have a playoffs MVP, because we have been inconcsistent. Dirk was awful in game 2, Finley got 8 point in game 4, etc.

MVP should be NELLIE!!!!! He's kept this thing together and has always said the right thing to his team. He's been keeping them together, he's done a tremendous job!!!! However if we had to choose one player, WANG!!!!!

Dare I say Bradley's the MVP of the playoffs thus far. Turning point of the series IMO was his elbow to Malone. He stood up and said we're not going to be bullied any longer. Something no one else was willing to do. Whole series changed from there on.

BRADLEY MVP BABY!

People always talk about Finley/Juwan lovefests and Dirk/Nash lovefests, but people seem to forget about the most effective lovefest of all: The Bradley's-Foot/Your-Ass lovefest...

bradley has been a pivotal player in the mavs wins.
i don't think he's gotten enough credit
but, there is a good article today in the dallas morning news about him by Kevin Blackinstone
bradley has definitely made a huge impact. now, if we could get juwan to play with some of the emotion and fire that bradley has the past couple of games

Here's a small tidbit from the Mavs game 4 pre-game show(for those who didn't see it).

The NBA changed the ruling of the flagrant foul Bradley had on Malone in game 3. The ruling on the court was a flagrant 1. Before yesterdays game the NBA changed it to a flagrant 2 . Meaning if Bradley commits another flagrant foul in game 4(which he didn't), game 5 or beyond. He would be suspended for 1 game.

*cough* bullshit! *cough*

Murphy3 · 05-02-2001, 06:54 PM

if they can change the ruling from a flagrant one to a flagrant two on bradley, why the hell can't the give malone a flagrant two on the sh*t shot he took on dirk?

Mavinator · 05-02-2001, 06:58 PM

The league office also says the refs made bad calls in the fourth quarter of game one. Why don't they issue a statement declaring that the next game the Jazz win will be overturned and made a win for the Mavs?

TheKid · 05-03-2001, 08:33 AM

That's such bullshit!!! I know where Stu Jackson lives too, if Bradley gets ejected I'm going to raise bloody hell!!!

Murphy3 · 05-03-2001, 08:36 AM

bradley just needs to play smart and under control.
although i wouldn't mind if they sent bryant in to knock the hell out of malone for his cheap shot on dirk
