Dirk is a good play and someone I would want on my team but he is not a Lebron James who can take over a game an will his team to victory. also with Cuban messy with the team and picking the trades we will never win the big one.

What happened in the finals that year with Dirk. No Instinct. How many championships have been to and won even in international play. Think about it. Oh yeah Mark one question.

What happened in the finals that year with Dirk. No Instinct. How many championships have been to and won even in international play. Think about it.

What I am saying is that yes he steps up in the regular season but in the playoffs where it count's he doesn't have a killer instinct. To me the regular season doesn't matter because you can have a perfect season like the patriots did but if you don't when the championship you pretty much 2nd best. When you have a killer instinct the 4th quarter of the playoffs is where you make it happen. Did you go to NBA.com and look at the stats from the past few years of Dirk in the playoffs. If you do this you will see that I am not a Dirk basher I am just a realist. Mark

If Dirk did not have the killer instinct we would not have made the playoffs this year due to his injury and we would not have beat SA in game 7 to advance eventually into the finals. I get sick of Dirk bashers. David:

Avery made the comment at different times that he benched them for not fouling - that was their job. He didn't say protecting the paint or helping on D, he said fouling. Yet another example of his brainless yapping. Freedirk,

Statistically speaking Dirk is a good player and would be great with a player that can take over games when they are in true pressure situations like in the playoffs. See if you look at Dirk's past you will see a lack of killer instinct in him in real pressure situations. Part of this is because he is 7 foot but has the game of a small forward which is what he played when he firts came to the league. I have mad respect for Dirk but he has no heart when it comes to leading a team because he doesn't have the heart and killer instinct to take over when the game is on the line in the playoffs. See him doing this in the regular season is nothing because that is not what counts in the end. The playoffs is whats matters. Before you respond to this go to NBA.com and look at Dirk's stats in the fourth quarter in the playoffs and you will see how his game drops.

First off you guys have a owner that is as much a fan than anything. Not saying that is bad but it can be a problem as in this case. Second your team has a problem with a inside presence so for them to get Jason Kidd that wasn't going to fix the problem. Third you have an allstar player that doesn't have what I call the killer instinct. A killer instict is when a player like a kobe bryant will take over when necessary in the 4th quarter. Now yes Avey can be part to blame but the full blame can't be put on him. This is not the team he put together this team was put together by one Don Nelson who now coaches the team who took you guys out last year. And if you look at the warriors they have the same makeup as the mavericks. I know you guys are mad at Avery but it is a bigger picture than him. Sorry guys but the problem is not with Avery Johnson.

Most of you are dreamers. This team is not very good. Maybe they can find a good senior league to play in.
