Journey says I put too much stock into postseason. I do not think so. Here we go: Nowitski close to MVP of the league and great great player put up an "el foldo" in the most important game of the year. I realize how good he is and has been...I realize all that he has done for Dallas....but that should not happen. What were his stats when the game was in doubt? We are talking pathetic. He will be tarnished by this for the rest of his life (unless he comeas back and wins championships maybe it will subside and he plays huge). And he should be tarnished. THis cannot happen. What happened? Like Arod when the team needed him most he was AWOL...I understand bases is different than hoops of course but the comparisons are there. Nowitski could have amassed the greatest single season in NBA history but it is all worthless right now. Out the window. Do not believe it? You are kidding yourself. His series SUCKED too...just like most of Arods but Dirk did lead them to the finals last year...more than i can say for the other guy. Either way money time = failure. Tough business for a great player but it is reality.

So I guess you will bring up every subpar post season performance and link it to me and A-Rod now?

These players are playing against the very best of the best in the world....the greatest players will suck it up at times....this is an apples and oranges comparison anyway....not to mention I never EVER said anything about A-Rod other than his career number will be off the charts.

But 1-11 shooting or whatever it was. Cannot happen. CANNOT HAPPEN.

Hey just trying to prove a few points and all in fun. That what this is all about. I rest my case.

no the 1-11 shooting happens...off shooting night

what can't happen is still being a non factor. superstars find a way to have their impact on the game. dirk was running away from the ball at times and had zero...zero impact on the game

superstars still put their touch on the game...even with a bad shooting night.

can we just make a subforum for "Everything Yankees-BoSox"
Did somebody say BoSox?!

I dont really enjoy watching Wake pitch like I used too.

But I hope we get a look at Piniero, his stuff is way under rated IMO.

Same thought here Funk. Dieing to see Piniero get his awesome stuff together. Wake has been underrated here in Boston. He has saved the staff wit hall those innings and bullpen work thru the years....at 40+ he needs to stay injury free and get hot like he can. Crisp (piss me off) is getting warm. Cora been a Godsend....Manny getting very warm.

Very good point Bet it. Dirk was completely out of it. From his comments to his body language to his shooting and game. Shocking but he needed to dig in and didn't. Unforgiveable. Great points.
