Dirk Is Superbad; Dwight Should Be Super Mad
Dirk Nowitzki (photo. Monte Isom)
The Blazers’ fourth-quarter run was all heart. No gimmicks, it was all heart and grit. But you can’t spot Dirk Nowitzki a 17-point lead and expect to come back. Despite 32 points and 12 rebounds from a gimpy Gerald Wallace, Dallas ended Portland’s season, 103-96. In the fourth quarter, it was all Dirk (33 points, 11 rebounds). As Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said: “There wasn’t going to be a miracle tonight.” … Shawn Marion (16 points) talked earlier this week about stopping Wallace’s straight-line drives, but then went out and allowed Wallace to score Portland’s first nine points of the game as the hosts jumped all over Dallas to go up 12 early. The Blazers’ energy was off the charts. We know their fans are some of the most psychotic, and delusional, in sports, but we were still surprised how rattled the Mavs looked early. In the second and third quarters though, Portland showed their largest weakness: no shot-makers. On the other side, the Mavs were methodically breaking their spirits. Jason Terry (22 points, eight assists) beat the halftime buzzer with a three, and Dallas went into the break up by nine after a 30-10 run over the final nine minutes … Finally, we will get to see Kobe vs. Dirk: the playoff edition … The Lakers, the league’s best Repo Men, came for blood again last night. Since they stole Pau Gasol, they’re a ridiculous 8-1 in playoff close-out games on the road. The Hornets felt that wrath in a one-sided 98-80 L.A. win. Andrew Bynum (18 points, 12 rebounds) has suddenly become the Lakers’ best big man in these playoffs. Amazingly, if it wasn’t for Bynum in the first half, L.A. would’ve been in a hole. The big fella was scoring on tip-ins, drop steps and he even hit a step-back jumper. It wasn’t until the final five minutes of the half did the Lakers get it going. For L.A., it’s always about points in the paint, and during one stretch Lamar Odom (14 points) had two straight layups, then Ron Artest got inside for another flat-footed push shot and then Bryant (24 points) got out front for a layup … Chris Paul (10 points, 11 assists) didn’t hit his first shot until the final minute of the first half (he only attempted two shots through 24 minutes). He didn’t fare any better in the second half, and by the midway point in the fourth, CP had just four points and New Orleans was down 20. He was awesome this series, but still deserving of some criticism: where the Hell were you last night? … As we speak, the Dwight-to-New-Jersey and Dwight-to-L.A. stories have already picked up steam. Orlando’s season ended in Atlanta last night, losing Game 6 to the Hawks, 84-81. Down three with less than 10 seconds remaining, Orlando got long-distance looks for both J.J. Redick and Jason Richardson, but neither one dropped. Jameer Nelson must feel bad. He’s not going to keep up his scheduled appointment with Derrick Rose in the second round. It’s going to be a LONG summer in Disney World … The Hawks came out ready last night, jumping to a 23-18 lead at the end of the first. If anyone was questioning how Atlanta would respond to their no-show in Game 5, they had the right ammunition but the wrong target. It’s Orlando who’s been up-and-down. It’s Orlando that’s too often relied on Howard (25 points and 15 of the team’s 31 total rebounds), who’s probably sick of having white and red draped all over him. It’s Orlando that we all needed to be worried about. They have some really weird issues going on over there … Marvin Williams hit two enormous corner shots in the third quarter to help hold down the Magic while Joe Johnson (23 points, 10 rebounds) was huge all game. Then it was Jamal Crawford‘s (19 points) turn, hitting a pair of deep threes to start the fourth quarter. While he had a pretty disappointing regular season, Crawford was the difference all series long, hitting all of the shots that Orlando’s sharpshooters were supposed to be making. He’s like the new Nick Van Exel … Even though he did eventually hit some shots in the third quarter, Hedo Turkoglu (15 points) was so awful in the first half, he had Rick Kamla yelling “Hedo Turkoglu…WHERE ARE YOU?” He’s definitely not the Turkish Jordan anymore. He wouldn’t even be the Monaco Jordan. If he was on the Lakers instead of in Florida, how many “ship his a$$ out” videos would Kobe make this summer? Five? Six? A new one every day until something finally happened? … Atlanta now moves on to play the Bulls, a team that blew them out two out of three times this year … College basketball players will have less time to make their decisions on the NBA after the NCAA announced that potential pros now only have until the first day of the spring signing period, which is normally mid-April, to pull out of the Draft. Normally, players had until May 8 to decide … We’re out like Julio Jones’ stylist.

Dwight is gone from the Magic…picking up guys like Hedo and Gilbert…that ain’t a good way to support your super star. Dwight even killed it (by his standard) at the free throw line, he even shot a better % from the free throw than starting point guards on other teams (probably doesn’t count eh? haha).
I thought Dallas was going to lose. When Portland closed to like 4, was anyone else thinking “uh oh, here we go again…”?

LOL… @freakish
This series could go either way for Dwight’s MVP case [even though voting is already over].
Dwight changed another team’s entire rotation, how many players can do that? When have you seen Hilton Armstrong & Eton Thomas & Jason Collins suited up? On the other hand, why couldn’t Dwight win going against those 3?
His impact on both ends of the floor. Dwight kept Atlanta out of the paint, unfortunately they have always been a jump shooting team.
This series exposed Orlando’s supporting cast. Dwight put in work 5 of 6 games and lost 4 because he had no help. He can’t shoot open 3′s for them.
Oh well, he will have to make a better case during the shortened season next year.

First round was definitely cool, but second is gonna be very very interesting.
Call during the Lakers game “Artest is playing out of his mind right now!” Poor choice of words, no?
What the f*ck was Monty Williams wearing? Dude looked like he got dressed in the dark. He didnt have any matching jacket/pants combos for a nationally televised playoff game? I could understand (MAYBE) if they were in LA, but he playing at home. No excuses son. He’s barely older then some of the players on the other team, so I would think he wouldn’t want to come to work dressed like a substitute teacher.

I skipped the Smack article today to avoid the inevitable attempt at humor get on my nerves. Straight to the comments.
Chicago will run over the Hawks in the 2nd round. Atlanta, historically, is a one-and-done team. They give great effort in 1st-round series… but then seem content in just advancing and then they dog it in the 2nd round. I’m hoping history doesn’t repeat itself because, matchup-wise, it could be a very entertaining series. Somehow, I doubt it. Josh Smith and Joe Johnson will be caught walking up the court in transition on more than a few occasions… again.
Bulls in 5.

I just watched my first live ball game in like 5 years. Usually a friend tapes them and I’ll watch the occasional passage. But live… Damn it’s all commercials! 2 and a half hours with about half that actual game time. And the half time?? I like Kenny an Charles but this format of commercial-stupid gag-commercial is pretty lame! Remember when NBC ran little documentaries and vignettes on players and such? Now it’s all commercials. And the pre-game movies were so epic! Miss the 90s.

Can’t really say anything right now but the Atlanta Hawks took that series away from us. All the things a higher seed should have done, they did instead. Giving them real props right now, cause they came to play.
Bout my team. Where should I begin? We just weren’t enough. I’ve been repping my team hard for years now, and seeing that series, no fucking excuses. Our asses got beat.
You gotta take the good AND the bad. I supported the trade. We needed a change. But we lost size, we lost depth. You gotta take that.
Just wanna give props to the monster Dwight Howard for being out there even if it’s virtually one versus five out there. Deserving of the MVP or not, I think Dwight silenced all doubters out there. That makes me smile.
Well, I’ll see my guys next season. What? You cats really athinking I’ll stop repping O-Town? Fuck that shit. Orlando fucking Magic all day. ALL DAY.

wherever dwight howard goes in 2012, i hope the refs start calling fouls on the meathooks who play ‘defence’ on him- atlanta isn’t the first team to find out 3 big men putting a high-energy beatdown on dwight for 16 minutes each can work pretty well. bulls will destroy the hawks in 4 or 5 games, then rest up for the heat-celtics war to end (KG over rupaul, but prolly lbj/flash over rondo,ray,pierce,too). I’m betting OKC and LA in the west final, unless bynum gets hurt real soon, in which case tyson can pummel pau enuff so DAL gets past the lakers

I like these 2nd round matchups. Tyson Chandler has really changed the demeanor of the Mavs, they got a little edge to them. Old guys hooking up with DFish and Kidd going at it, I’m sure LA is glad to see CP3 gone fishin.
Boston and the Heat will be interesting, will it be a competitive matchup or might this get over fairly quick with the Heat’s lack of depth and weak starters but Boston losing Perkins is big. Don’t worry Shaq will be back! Ainge might have f*d this up.

First off, shouts to Larry Drew for having an effective gameplan. Even though Dwight put up terrific numbers, the Hawks threw various looks at him all series, and that impacted the kinds of looks Dwight’s teammates got all series.
Jameer Nelson lost in every way after not being able to back up the see you in the second round talk. Too bad, he was just being confident… Or was he, as a 4 seed, seriously looking past the 5-seed that beat his team 3-1 in the regular season???

Saw where the Knicks want D’Antonio to hire a Defensive coach, wonder if he skips town like in Phoenix when Steve Kerr told him to get one? Dude is a great offensive mind but has no clue on defense, and if you don’t have that you are never winning a championship.

@ Claw: I always thought D’Antoni would’ve been better suited as an assistant coach. I don’t get where this “elite coach” respect that he gets from everyone comes from. Maybe he’d work better with Mike Brown as his defensive coach? I really hope NY fires him; he’s clearly holding Stoudemire back AGAIN.

@JAY — Yeah, but with so much bad news going on in the world, I don’t mind a break from the doom and gloom. If the Today Show wants to talk about a wedding for a few days instead of constantly talking about death and disaster, that could be a welcome break.
Think of it like the Super Bowl or the World Series: Millions of men grow up dreaming of playing pro sports, and that is their moment to relive that and be a kid again. Just like millions of women grow up dreaming of having the big “princess” wedding, so this is a big deal to them.

Chicagorilla says:
@AB,
How would we know the answer to that last question? The active coaches who have HOF resumes are already in but still coaching. And the active ones not in the HOF don’t have anything close to a resume worthy of HOF. Thats more of an article than a blog question i would think.
as for these playoffs, they’ve been intresting to say the least, sometime good, other times pretty bad, and many times very ugly.
Hawks vs Bulls
If the Bulls play as sloppy as they did the first 4 games vs Indy, then it’s a wrap for us. If the TOs are low and FG% is at least around 42-44% then we win this in 5 or 6.
Celtics vs Heat
Will probably the 7 games and will have the most foul calls and FT attempts combined in the history of the playoffs. The games will come down to the wire and we know how bad MIA is and how good BOS is in the final seconds, so i expect BOS to win in 6-7 games. If Shaq plays ans is healthy, it could get ugly quickly for the Heat.
LA/Dal
Will be the best playoff series in the 2nd round. Dirk will be getting dirty money all over LA, but he’ll also be the weakest link on defense and be murdered in the paint.
Kobe will be getting dirty money also, but without Caron they have no one to equal his output and make him work.
If Dal can somehow play Dirk, Haywood, and Tyson at the sametime they could actually win the series, but again Dirk is the weak link on D and has no chance vs Odom or Artest.
LA wins in 7, Kobe will avg 30ppg
OKC/Mem
Durant goes balls deep vs mem and so does Westbrook. Randolph is nuetralized by Ibaka since he actually plays D, and Gasol will get at Perkins, but not in a dominating fashion. Westbrook will be the best player in this series as he rapes Conley on both ends of the court, esp since Mem has no real shot blockers. Oh and Harden will have trouble vs the nutty Tony Allen and Battier combo.
April 29th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
K Dizzle says:
Props to CP3
Brought the heat, but showed he was human and just ran outta gas. Phil got 11 rings for a reason. Changed up the defense and had Paul, last night, guarded by at least 7 different players. Beutiful team effort.
Whoever says Dirk ain’t clutch needs to politely smack the shit outta themselves. Everytime, Portland thought they were over the hump, dude silenced the crowd….REPEATEDLY.Sick display of clutchness.
1st Round Series MVPs Western Conf Edition(series winners – not team’s best players)
LA-NO:- Co-MVPs on this one.
-Andrew Bynum(no doubt, the best center left IN ALL THE PLAYOFFS. If the worst thing that can be said about dude is “IF he’s healthy…”. Well, he is and now y’all know the deal. Bogut? Noah? Lopez? Baby Gasol? Nope. After Dwight, it’s Bynum. Period. New Orleans couldn’t deal. Okafor spent multiple games damn near in tears cuz Bynum was so dominant…
-Ron Artest – most consistent Laker. 50% from the field, 40% from 3, 83% from the stripe. Defensive force. If you were gettin lit up, they put Ron on you. From Paul to Ariza to Landry, he guarded and CAN guard anybody…
Dal-Por: Dirk…When Mavs won, Dirk avg’d 30. When they lost, he put up 23. Meaning? Dallas needs to know where their bread is buttered. Go to Dirk, all the time, down the stretch and everybody looks good. He better keep it up cuz it’s gotta concern the Mavs that after game 2, JKidd seemed to slow right down…
OKC-Den: Yes, Durant is their stud. Can’t be stopped with that quick release out to 35 feet. Ok…..but the mvp of that series…..was Ibaka. Dude AVERAGED 10 pts (17-20 from the stripe), 11 boards….and 5 BLOCKS PER GAME! Only took 4 shots in the clincher, but dude is a gamechanger. Scoring’s nice, but when you can totally destroy the other team with the d, it’s a wrap. That shotblock on Nene at crunchtime was as clutch as anything anybody did offensively in any series.
SA-Mem:…If Memphis wins, I first gotta apologize to austin burton for doubtin ZBo. Dude is makin any and all Spurs look like a D2 frontline. 20, 9 and almost 4 assists…and the SPurs KNOW he gettin the ball and they STILL can’t stop him…Memphis wanna win tonight, they gotta serve up a steady diet of ZBO…Like Russell Westbrook 30 shots serve up….
If the Spurs win, Manu, Manu and Manu. That’s all
Killed some good time with this.

Austin Burton says:
@Chicagorilla — There are a few coaches, like Rich Adelman and George Karl and Gregg Popovich, who are not in the HOF who have an argument. Otherwise, take a guess like we do with everything else. If we can project which players we think are/will be HOF-worthy, we can do it with coaches.
But I think the reality that we can’t gauge “coaching talent” as easily shows just how important players are for the legacy of their coaches.
April 29th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Austin Burton says:
Who said Ibaka would neutralize Z-Bo? You know that Zach averaged 26 points and 13 boards on 58% shooting in four games vs OKC this year. Ibaka is playing out of his mind right now, but Z-Bo is a tough cover for him.

And now, we just witnessed the GREATEST UPSET in the first round EVER, possible even in the whole history of the playoffs.
