What is Dirk's career playoff averages? Because he SUCKS in the playoffs.
Manu
Dirk
That's true, Dirk wouldn't have even tried.dirk because he wouldn't have fouled manu in 2006

Manu shouldn't have either. Watch the clip, Duncan just stands there and lets Dirk have a free path to the basket. Do you know why?
Manu's "leadership" and "intangibles" sure came in handy during the last 32 seconds of G7 of the 06 Semis.
stats are cool. stats get championships
get the on our level...
Of all the active franchise players, how many have better playoff resumes than Dirk? I say only the following:
Tim Duncan
Shaquille O'Neal
Kobe Bryant
Dwyane Wade
Paul Pierce
Jason Kidd if you want to give two Eastern les more credence than one West le.
You're right, Dirk is basically like T-Mac when it comes to the playoffs.
Your level? One of your fellow Spurs fans made a crack about how Dirk wouldn't have contested a shot in that situation. Which is ironic, since that is exactly what the situation called for, letting the Mavs have an easy two and preventing a 3-ball or And One.
Kori or timvp...can you make this poll public for me? Thanks.
No, trust me, I remember what happened and what shoulda happened. You don't understand what I am trying to say
I can't believe the poll is this close. The Spurs would be in the same sentence with Jordan's Bulls if Dirk was playing next to Timmy.
I'm a spurs fan but I'm with Findog on this one. The Dirk/Tim combo would be deadly especially prime.
By the way I'd think the same for a Tim/TP vs. Tim/Dirk
You're right, I can't parse when someone is being obtuse.
In the 2004 Games Ginobili did different things on different nights they played. Against the US they needed his scoring 31pts. agaisnt Italy they needed his play-making 7ast. He filled in the blanks that his team created. Dirk can if he really wanted to, but hasn't. I ask Why not?
Me too. I would take Dirk over Parker in a heartbeat. PG's and SG's that are serviceable can be found. A dominant front line creates a dynasty.
Are you seriously comparing Argentina to Germany? Manu played on stacked Olympic teams. Germany is Dirk and a bunch of guys who would get run off the court at a 24 Hour Fitness.
people, I love Manu but can you imagine this lineup
Parker
Jackson
Bowen
Dirk
Duncan
That's a team that will punish you whatever you do.
After seeing what I've seen of the German National Team since 2004, I can't help but agree.
No, it's not possible if you don't do it that way in the beginning. Sorry.
Fixed.
manu had to swallow a lot of pride, to agree to become second banana, actually even agreed to come off bench. I dont think dirk will do that. Dirk is a franchise player, i dont think he should be playing second banana in any case.
Manu plays with so much heart that he reaches kobe levels, its not the same as when jordan, kobe, dirk, wade can do it throughout a season. He basically has that extra gear that allows him to compete at a GOAT level for a short period of time.
Nobody denies Manu's heart..but GOAT level? come on now..
We all love Manu, but we all know there's 2 sides of him..there's the Manu that can dominate a game on both sides, make 5 3s in a row, get his teammates involved, get a nice dunk..and then there's the Manu in the same game, that will start chucking up bad shots, make no-look passes that go out of bounds, and will foul Dirk in a game 7 with the Spurs up by 3..
Manu's a great player, we wouldn't have 3 les without him..but Dirk is a superstar, and this is a superstar's league..when you have the opportunity to have 2 superstars that compliment each other pretty well, you have to take it..
[QUOTE=benefactor;3616391]Not really. Dirk is a shooting big who can hit just about anything outside the lane and on the block Duncan was devastating during his prime. It would be easier to neutralize Manu with a good perimeter defender. There isn't a front line player in the league that is capable of guarding Dirk.[/QUOTE]
And there isn't a front line player in the league that Dirk is capable of guarding!
Yep, just like Dirk's came up in the last four games of the finals in 2006 and in 2007 against the warriors. I mean MVP and number one seed in the playoffs. That is what Dirk brings to the table, too bad he forgets his heart at home. I am sure that if he was with Duncan, he would not be the one of the two making a difference.
