JT+Finley

[mavsfanforever]

MVPS for first round series.

[FilthyFinMavs]

These guys came up huge IMO. Josh Howard probably deserves to be in this bunch also. Fin's defense on T-Mac had me surprised as hell. I see the guy getting beaten off the dribble by guys like Mike Miller and Loul Deng and I watch this series and he's making T-Mac work for his points like hell. Those 3's he hit came at great times all series long. This is definately gonna be needed in the next series.

JET Terry is amazing. I mean right now i'm hearing the comparison of Bobby Jackson on the Ticket but this guy is Nick in '01 with wayyyy more effecient scoring, shot selection and defense. Terry is already overtaking Finley as my favorite Mav. And how humble the guy is just makes it even better.

[JLEEHASMUCHGAME]

IMO, it's just JT hands down. But, Finley definitely stepped it up a couple times in this series, and overall, he played a pretty solid series. Josh Howard was huge a couple times in the series. I think Doug Collins is right, Josh is growing up right before our eyes.

[JLEEHASMUCHGAME]

I'm not sure if the MVP shouldn't go to MFF for starting some pivotal gameday threads.

[JLEEHASMUCHGAME]

It looks like JT is starting to get some swagger in his game from all this winning too. It seemed like he had the most arrogant facial expression the ENTIRE fourth quarter. I would hate him if I was a Rockets fan, but as a Mav fan, I can't help but feeling refreshed by it.

JET gets MVP for me. IMO, you combine AI's scoring ability and multiply it times .50, then you multiply Nash's playmaking and multiply it by .50, add it up and you get JET. I love him.

JT is alone as the MVP...anyone who says anything else needs to rewatch this series.

Terry looked like a man possesed when he was interviewed at halftime. I knew then this game was done.

[MavsFanFinley]

JT gets my vote. He went to another level and made the Rockets pay.

Finley, Howard, and Stackhouse were solid all series long. They should get a big slap on the back for their contributions.

[sike]

mmm, great sig. Rooster Cogburn had a low post game, no doubt!!!

[sike]

THANKS TO MIKE FINLEY FOR SACKING UP AND PLAYING D THE ENTIRE SERIES!

[V2M]

Dirk's shot was off but he was doing everything else. Solid defense, rebounding, etc. Him commanding double teams set up Terry and Fin for some open threes. Hope he gets his shot going against the Suns.

Terry was just awesome today and he certainly is the MVP of this series. Now comes the real challenge, guarding the league's MVP. He needs to stay in front of Nash on defense and punish him hard on offense. Should be a great matchup!!

how great would it be to see Howard or Quis on him for a few minutes a game???? Nash always struggles agaisnt the long armed quick footed guys...

[ocelot_ark]

Honestly, I'd rather Nash score 30 than get 10+ assists. I HOPE Nash tries to take over and shoot instead of distribute. BUT - it won't happen.

[Thespiralgoeson]

Jet, Harris, DA, and Quis will all eat Nash alive. Remember all those times we play Sacramento in the Finals and Mike Bibby ran cirlces around him, while Nash was trying not to collapse? Well, you're going to see that times 10 in this series.

On defense, we may see some Josh on Nash but PHX has incredible 3pt shooters. I hope Terry, DA & DH take turns to wear out Nash while Fin, Josh, Stack and Quis keep the lid on the 3pt shooters.

On offense, we need to attack the rim. Amare doesn't like to foul and he'll escort anyone to the basket. PHX's defense is their quickness. But they're short and undersized. If we take care of the ball and attack the rim, we should have easy baskets all game long. Only problem is PHX doesn't care. They'll grab the ball and run regardless of whether you just scored or not. Hopefully our superior depth will come in handy.

[Murphy3]

We'll definitely see some DH on Nash.... Nash won't know what hit him.

[fin4life]

JT is the MVP for sure... but we cannot discount the efforts fot he others. Stack had some nice game, as did Fin and Josh. Dirk wasnt quite up to par but he gave us just enough. Marquis, Hendu. and DA did their partsThis series was a total team effort.

[jayC]

Daryl Armstrong was fantastic on both ends of the court. The real JET was great in this series.

[mavsfanforever]

Finley's leadership was the reason I put him along with JT.

Great key rebounds, steals, blocks from Dirk which went unnoticed by media as they were only looking at his scoring.

Other than poor shooting, dirk actually had a great series.

after games one and two...

[MAVSWIN]

Dirk should have an easier time scoring in this series than he did against Houston. I think Houston is better than Phoenix defensively. He wont have to worry about Ming and Mutombo waiting to block his shots after he penetrates.
