    I think it's a mixture of his legs being under him, some solid shot selections, and a change in his release that seems to have propelled him to this. Does he just love driving baseline to create space for his jumper this year or what, he's doing a magnificent job creating space for himself so far this season.

      He doesn't even need the three ball (even though I love his pull-up threes in transition) with the way he's been murdering the mid-range game.

        What's funny is, if he wins a championship, they'll all be kissing his a** and praising him.
        I'm not even talking about LeBron, I'm talking about when people start talking about the most clutch players in the NBA they mention Wade, Kobe, Ray Allen, even LeBron sometimes but you very rarely hear Dirk's name.

          I don't think anyone who watches basketball doubts Dirk Clutchitzki

            Prior to Kidd getting injured, Delonte played mostly at shooting guard, but I think after this performance we're gonna see some more lineups with him sliding over to the 1. If Roddy B can get going I would love to see Delonte at the 1 and Roddy at the 2 at times.

            Delonte and Ian Mahinmi have really been our most consistent players this season. They've had less off nights than Dirk or Terry.

              Rondo needs to learn how to create contact from the defender in a way that doesn't end up with him flying out of bounds, crashing to ground like he fell off of a roof top. Yeah, he's still young and resilient, but a couple more years of that kind of punishment and he's going to start to break down physically.

              Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

              Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                Wow. Just read that Dirk now has 30 game-winning shots in his career. The only two active players with more are Vince Carter and Kobe. And obviously neither of them are as efficient doing it. 3 out of the Mavs last 10 victories have been Dirk game-winners.

                  Ha - I think your man-crush of Dirk is starting to show a little bit, SF.

                    Haha it seems like that because of what I had posted before, but I would've posted that regardless, thought it was an interesting stat, especially the 3 out the last 10 victories being on his game-winners.

                        Except that the Timberwolves can find themselves playing .500 ball or better by season's end and the Hornets will probably over achieve once Eric Gordon comes back...

                          That obviously because he doesn't have the strength in the wrist. And is probably not use to shooting so high from 3 point land. He's mostly been a line drive kind of shooter from that distances.

                            Maybe, but I think this season the T'wolves underachieve due to the shortened season. May be right on the Hornets as the law of averages say eventually they may start hitting shots especially with Eric Gordon back and Xavier Henry healthy as well.

                              I just had to let that out (and yes these are my own thoughts)


                              You didn't just say that. Tell me you did not just say that.

                              To be fair, LeBron has been piss poor shooting free throws in the crunch for quite some time now. Long before that Game 6 in fact. That's probably the only thing I agree with Skip Bayless over, he's said that from the start, LeBron is terrified of the free throw line in the crunch.

                                Nah the Wolves have played quality opponents extremely close. The problem is as Rick Adelman had noted is he's still trying to find what combinations work. I'd say it's only a matter of time before he finds what works and he likes. Reason being as a Houston fan I saw what he did with us (and the Wolves are more talented than what he had to work with for us) that I know he can put them on the winning track as soon as this season.
