most clutch??? You loose credibility when you say things like that….

Kobe still owns that title.

That’s like saying Reggie Miller was more clutch than Jordan. Clutch yes, most clutch, not a chance.

YOu fogot about some of the other main components of winning a chip. Let me list a few they don’t have:

- Defense
- An allstar stud bigman
- Toughness
- Points in the paint

Like I’ve wore out in the past – You will never win a chip with your best player being a soft jump shooting big man. Not now…not ever!!!

In case you guys didn’t know, there’s a pretty huge different between getting to the second round of the playoffs over a hugely weakened Spurs team and being a contender to win the West.

Dirk misses the shots to win the game. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen him choke when the game is on the line over the past few years. No wonder he went off for 29, he had to in order to ensure he didn’t take the last shot.

Ill say this – They put it to my lakers a few weeks ago and that really impressed me, especially the effort out of Shawn Marion. Doing it as well too mind you without Josh Howard.

I like this team alot as a dark horse throughout the year and into the playoffs. I have confidence but am still not a hundred percent sold on my Lakers quite yet. They have to get healthy first and show that chemistry they found late in their championship run last year. I believe it will happen but not until later.

Back to the Mavs, I believe the west is very much open this year and they have the chance to be a big part of that. This is a very timely article because having watched the Mavs pretty closely this year, I have been quite impressed.

This is about a day late. Last night showed that if it isn’t Dirk’s night or he gets into a slight slump its pretty much over for Dallas. Call me if they win a game this year without dirk going for at least 20 points.

You chose a team that made the second round of the playoffs last year as the SURPRISE contender over a team that has been mediocre for two years but is now at the top of the conference? Damn.
