NBA Playoffs...

Chemistry is big, but not always the deciding factor.

Two instances:

Detroit went from a top 3 seed in the East without RaSheed, then 30 games later they were the defined best East seed and won the championship. 30 games is not enough time to get their chemistry down. In fact, I remember RaSheed didn't know who Darko was LOL. He seen him at the championship banquet and was like who the hells this white man?

Also, lets put Kobe, Vince Carter, Duncan, Shaq and Lebron, and they will not win the championship?

Thats like saying QB Ratings say how good a QB really is. Take Vick into consideration. Terrible rating, awesome QB.
If Dirk is so efficient, he should be able to win the game for you.

Duncan, Marion, Lebron, TMac, Garnett, Paul Pierce, Jermain Oneal, Artest, Carter, RaSheed Wallace, all forwards that will get the ball to win the game.

Jason Collins is more efficient than Dirk.

He puts up a SOLID 3.6 points, 4.8 boards, and 1 even assist. Thats all in UNDER 30 minutes and that boy started 71 games. Oh, and he has a sweeter hair cut.

"Thats like saying QB Ratings say how good a QB really is. Take Vick into consideration. Terrible rating, awesome QB." So basically what you stated here that there are some good players in the NBA without good ratings... Look at the top rated players in the NFL, they are still the best regardless. That proved nothing against the Dirk argument.

2nd. Efficient players lead with assists and pass the ball around as well, you can call Kobe a game winner because he hogs the **** ball when his team is down. A game winner, but I'd prefer not to have a star like that on a team.

I believe Dirk usually gets the ball for the game winning shots. Which really proves nothing because Carmelo shot the best percentage for game winning shots and imo he is mediocre. It just depends on the team and the players you have around you. If a team is going to double up on me, I'm going to pass it out to a wide open player that is capable of knocking down the shot. Also depends on the coach and what he has drawn up, no player in there right mind doesn't want to take the game winner, but the object is to get a good look.

BTW: Vick isn't a good QB, not at all. He never was and now that defensive lineman are getting faster it's starting to show more.

the pistons don't have superstars, however they have 4 all-stars. dirk only averages 1 block per game, and 9 rebounds per game, and he is easily backed down in the post.

His lack in some areas are made up in other areas. He still is one of the most efficient and highest scoring players in the game.

You honestly are just looking for ways to attack him, but Dirk performs. If he did not perform he would've been let go like Finley, Sean Bradley, Jamison, Lafrentz.... Finley performed somewhat.

Saying only 1 block per game is also a bad statement. BPG is not a high average field.

Vick broke his leg every year. He's getting slower because of injuries, the lineman aren't getting faster. You would take Marc Bulger before him?

Also, as you said when they get doubled the look for the open man, take Kobe into consideration, he can pass to Smushy, Kwame, or shoot over 5 people, you make the decision. And normally when he shoots those, he makes them.

You're a retard. Define efficient. Who a coach would rather have? Dirk doesn't even take game winning shots half the time.
Kobe

Lebron

Nash

AI

Carter

Duncan

Garnett

McGrady

Marion even

all better than dirk...

maybe even pierce.

LOL i have lost any and all respect for you... especially after saying that hill and francis played on the mavs...

go on ESPN.COM next time buddy.

when you look at statistics, click on 'PER 48 MINUTES'. that will define efficient for you. sort by points.

KOBE: 1

LEBRON: 3

NASH: 26

AI: 2

CARTER: 9

DUNCAN: 25

GARNETT: 17

MCGRADY: n/a

MARION: 23

DIRK: 6

dirk only plays 38 minutes a game. that means he sits out nearly an entire quarter. THAT is why he doesnt take game winning shots. he is on the bench at the end of the game, when they are ALREADY WINNING.

and when they arent (game 2?) against the grizzlies. yeah. 16 seconds left, game winning 3.

so seriously, stop talking, and find a new topic to get pwned on.

i didn't say dirk was bad numnuts. if he would play with his back to the basket and play defense, he would be so much better. also the league leader is like 2.5 times more blocks then dirk

so he sits out a quarter does that mean he has to sit out the last quarter? why not like the third? or space it out a little bit you know?

You live in Dallas, you're a god **** retard. Stats aren't everything, Jeter is the second best player on the Yanks, yet his stats don't show it. Get off Dirks nuts just because hes white and can ball.

i never said he sits out the fourth quarter. just at the end of the game. he sits out because they are already winning. there is no need for him to play at the end of the game and risk getting hurt if a win is in the bag. maybe he sits out the last 4 minutes and another 6 minutes somewhere else in the game. you are reading too much into this. you should be smarter than this...
