Nowitzki takes down Nash
NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Dirk Nowitski firing the ball over Steve Nash
Steve Nash gets all the good pub.
Steve Nash gets the MVP awards.
Dirk gets no respect at all. Watch a Mav’s game and even the ref’s give Dirk no respect.
Does not matter, because Dirk is just going to keep on firing the ball up on all kinds of long jumpers. When the ref’s do call a foul, Dirk steps up and buries it with textbook form.
Dirk Nowitski has been over 30 points in 4 out of the last 8 games.
Your intrepid author caught the last quarter of the Mav’s/ Suns game on Wednesday and it was great. Those teams play at such a fast pace that it was hard to keep up with all the action.
Nash blows down the court and dribbles anywhere he wants until either shooting or whipping a pass to an open man for a jumper or slam and all of this takes place in about 7 seconds.
At the other end, Nowitski just gets the ball and launches from pretty much anywhere and that happens in about 7 seconds.
You better wear your track shoes if you want to play for these teams.
Wednesday was Dirk’s time to star.
scored 31 points, including the Mavericks’ final eight, giving Dallas just enough to hold off the Suns 108-105 Wednesday night in yet another intense, entertaining game between the Western Conference rivals.
GAME REPORT: Dallas 108, Phoenix 105
While the final score was close — decided, in fact, when Nash airballed a three-pointer in the closing seconds — the Mavericks were in control all night. They never trailed, led by 17 at the end of the first quarter and were up by 14 midway through the fourth.
No matter how many times Phoenix rallied, Dallas always had an answer. source
Let’s not get into all the arguments about lack of defense and questionable shot selection and just enjoy the style of play that these two teams bring to the table.
Wednesday night Dirk got the best of Steve, but the fans everywhere got a good show!

Dirk need to deliver in the playoffs to become a truly great player.

I haven’t been watching many Mavs games lately but I heard that Josh Howard seems to be rising as the star of that team more than Dirk has this season. Bad sign for the Mavs since Dirk should be the team’s focal point.
Whatever the Mavs do in the regular season doesn’t count for much if they can’t be mentally strong in the playoffs and this starts with Dirk as their leader. It seems like this has been his flaw.
p.s. it’s Nowitzki with a “z” =)

watched a couple of Mav’s games and Dirk ruled! Guess spell check did not have his name in it.
