    Wade > Dirk?

    At this point in their careers, this might be true since years do take a toll on veterans.


    It appears fairly obvious that Wade is a significantly better defender than Dirk. I'm not sure if those years of running up and down the court is slowing Dirk down, but that's what I see.

    It also seems pretty clear that Wade has outplayed Dirk up to this point in the series.

    Interesting that the guard outrebounded the 7 footer by quite a bit in game 3.

    It's not the years, it's the mileage. Just like with cars.

    How do you explain that Wade>Dirk?

    Why is Wade> Dirk?

    If all those years aren't the cause, is it just that Wade is a more athletic and talented player?

    You might be right. Well, that's not Dirk's fault.

    It is what it is.

    If that's the case, why is A.I. even still alive?

    My other posts have been very positive and complimentary about the Mavs until the poster, Spurs<Mavs started talking all this trash about how the Mavs are a dynasty that will dominate the NBA over the next 4-6 years.

    Wade isn't better than Dirk. Granted Dirk hasn't been spectacular so far, but Wade only seems like the rebirth of christ every 3 games or so.

    Look, I have never really been a huge fan of A. I. because I value offensive efficiency more than ungodly amounts of points.

    and my previous post explains my motivation of this post.

    Anybody that doesn't think Wade is better at this point is a major Homer with a giant hard on for Nowitski. Nowitski hasn't done anything this series, he had a nice game in #2 but who on the Mavs didn't? He is choking and Wade is stepping up, and there is no other way to spin it

    Doesn't change the fact that Nowitski is turning out to be a bigtime choker. I admit that they are both more talented than anything the Kings have, but can you admit that Dirk has developed a giant gash between his legs this series?

    C'mon guys, it's pretty simple.

    Dallas doesn't have anyone that demands constant double teams.

    Can you think of anyone on Miami that does?

    And it's not Wade.

    Dirk is overrated. Yes, he's a great shooter. But so is Peja Stojakovic.

    they were pretty close to that the way they were playing to end the season, sort of like Denver in '05 I just saying it would have been tough for the mavs to get past the kings, anything is tougher than playing the NBA's playoff es aka Memphis Grizzlies.

    The Kings have Bonzi, Artest, Miller, Rahim, and Kenny Thomas to guard Dirk as well as Josh Howard (the 2 main match up problems)

    The kings would have had a very good chance of beating the mavs if they were to have met in the first round. I mean they did give the spurs trouble (6 games) which means they would definitely give the mavs trouble as well

    Now I am not saying they would win but they would have had a very good chance of beating the mavs had they met in the first round


    I am so glad they are fixing the playoff seeding system for next season, because the spurs should have been the ones playing the grizzlies in the first round

    Dirk = choker - truer words have never been spoken... D-Wade had 40/13 in the Finals... Dirk's 50/12 over the no-defense Suns in the WCF means nothing... haha, D-Wade even had more rebounds than Dirk did in the biggest game of Dirk's career...

    He was - but he did come back and play very well over the next two games - while shooting much better from the line... oh yeah and Shaq already has 3 championships and multiple Finals MVP, All-Star game MVP, and league MVP awards to Dirks.... um... wait.... oh, that's right zero in each of those categories...

    Yeah, life's good when you had the next best thing to MJ on your team. And Horry. And Fisher. What exactly have the Suns accomplished? Score 110? Shoot 3's? Play de....well, they'll just have to work on that.

    Yeah, I feel sad for Sir Charles, who happens to be a big Mav hater, besides Spurs and Suns fans of course.
