Around The NBA(Playoffs) Thread

[Meadows]

Has their ever been a more efficient scoring night than what Dirk did last night? 48 points off like 15 shots or something ridiculous like that. My God...

I don't recall, but Dirk is shooting an ungodly 92.2% from the foul line thus far in the playoffs and to put the icing on the cake he went automatic. Did he even attempt a shot from 3 point land last night? :shot:

No, not one attempt from beyond the arc. 12-15 from the field all inside the arc, but mostly jumpers. That makes it even more impressive.

Looks like the Thunder will take game 2 and tie the series. Up 10 with 3 minutes left. That dunk was sick, Zack.

Dang that dunk was nasty. He got UP on that, Dwight Howard style.

You'd think he could at least be original.

who's been the best player in the p'offs? Not Rose...Not Z-Bo...Not Durant...Not any of the Heatles...it's been Dirk. Dude is ridic.

Those last 4 minutes of regulation were crazy. Dirk is supreme.

Love my German brother <3

I am rooting for Dirk...always liked him...hated when he lost to the heat in 2006, hope he gets the championship if Bulls don't...would be a great story...

agreed completely. Dude has been in absolute beast mode this season.

Honestly, I think Dirk and Rose are very similar...superstars that are forced to lead a team w/ no other all-stars, but good players. The difference? Dirk can get his shot off whenever he wants, the dude's 9 inches taller than Rose.

Dirk is obviously a better scorer, and Rose is obviously the better penetrater.
Not comparing their style of play, more of the situation they're both in.

Did not think Dallas would be up 3-1.

 

[Gunzaan]

Dirk is awesome!

 

[Scoot26]

Well if the Bulls dont make it..I'll be rooting for Dallas..but I am not watching any of that series unless the Mavericks are up 3-0.

 

[Gunzaan]

If it does happen to be a repeat of the Mavs vs Heat as the championship, I really, really, really hope that the outcome is different this time.

On paper, it would be a repeat of history.

I like Dallas' chances if they face Miami. Dirk would be a nightmare offensively for them.

I wonder why Durant hasn't been as heavily criticized as Rose has been. His shot's been off, he's about to lose in the WCF in 5 games...and he's got at least as good talent around him, if not better...

He's not the MVP?

PS Nice avatar!
