24.5 PPG
10.5 RPG
4.25 APG

Huh?

Wasn't that you who asserted Dirk should get the POTW instead of Kevin?

He should, but I am not bitter about it.

[trueD]

...yet you mention it out of no-fukking-where.

What's the problem, the stats? Because Dirk is a PF, Kevin is a SG/SF.

Take it easy Nancy.

I'm okay. Just wondering what all the fuss is about Kevin getting the honor this week instead of Dirk, and thought to ask you. But you obviously can't argue your position.

I already showed why Dirk should have been the POTW.


BTW, I have no problem with Martin getting the award. I just pointed out that someone else had better numbers

[trueD]

Kevin scored 3.5 more points than Dirk did, and he did it shooting 52%. Height-wise and position-wise, Dirk is the rebounder. Dirk is also the center of your offense, so he's gonna handle the ball more and rack up more assists.

In this case, numbers are relative, no?

And Kings going 3-1 with Martin's numbers isn't, errrmmmmmm, status quo. :)

Im just saying that the numbers dont lie.

Someone else had a better week than Martin.


I guess they are trying to spread the award around, because Dirk could probably take it every week.

:king

[trueD]

:lmao

Well, looks like someone missed the call on Dirk yet again.

[ponky]

Actually, congrats to the players of the week...but in reference to the Dirk comment by the Mavs fan, Dirk was named player of the month for February (along with Billups).

Nowitzki, Billups named NBA Players of the Month
March 1, 2007

NEW YORK (TICKER) -- Dirk Nowitzki was rewarded for lifting the Dallas Mavericks to the top of the NBA.

The superstar forward of the Mavericks on Thursday was named the Western Conference Player of the Month for February.

Detroit Pistons guard Chauncey Billups was honored in the East.

On his way to leading the Mavs to a 10-0 record for the month, Nowitzki averaged 27.1 points and 9.7 rebounds. The 7-foot German scored at least 30 points four times during the month.

Dallas (48-9) is in the midst of a 13-game winning streak, its third run of at least 12 games this season.

Billups averaged 17.9 points and 7.5 assists while leading the Pistons to a 10-1 record for the month.

Other nominees were Cleveland's LeBron James, New Jersey's Vince Carter, New Orleans' Tyson Chandler, New York's Eddy Curry, Philadelphia's Andre Iguodala, Phoenix's Amare Stoudemire and Toronto's Chris Bosh.
