Western Playoffs 2011 Thread

Now wouldn't that be awesome if he shuts down the Dirk after shutting down the MVP? That's defensive versatility!

I think Dallas has a good shot at this whoever they play in the finals. I wouldn't put them as favourites but nor as underdogs. And it would be nice if Dirk, J-Kidd and all those non-ring veterans finally got their rings.

I started to get sick reading that and then realized that I have to toughen up so I can keep dinner down when it's actually happening in June.

FWIW, they let him defend Kobe just as physically.

NBA Finals time.........

I think Dirk will have an invisible shield around him that no one can caress.

Go Mav's!

Caress? Maybe it's just my bad english but it sounds strange to me.

The way he was defended in the conference finals and how he still produced makes me believe the Heat will have more problems with this guy than with Rose when it's closing time.

Seems like the appropriate word for the new NBA.

Tay and Rodney would approve of this use of the word.........

I thought Rodney's word was "careen".

That just shows you how versatile he is, hater. Soft and tender on one side, rugged and raw on the other.

Kinda like a MetroSexual
