Dirk has caught a ton of heat for his performance in the playoffs. I'm certainly guilty of it. However, as the dust settles here in Dallas and we struggle to comprehend wtf happened, it's easily apparent that Dirk wasn't the sole reason we lost to Golden St. There is enough blame to go around. Changes will be made and it'll be interesting to see what those are. I wouldn't expect anything drastic but there will be a few shakeups, namely in the backcourt and something down low that doesn't involve Dirk. Anyways, that's neither here nor there, congrats to Dirk. He earned it.

Said Nowitzki, reached by phone Thursday night: "Nobody's told me anything. You [media] guys have been talking about it for a while, so let's see what happens.
"[But] it's hard to even think about that stuff right now. Everything [from the Golden State series] is still pretty fresh. It's been some tough days since we lost.
"I thought this was such an incredible year. We won 67 games and then to lose in the first round, it just feels so empty right now."
Asked to imagine what an MVP ceremony would be like after such a disappointment, Nowitzki said: "If I do get it, it's an incredible honor. I'm sure 20 years from now or whatever, to see that in the [record] books, it's an amazing achievement. But right now, it's hard. Obviously, you can't feel good about the way our season ended."
