<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Especially when you've had other such off-series' in the past.</div>The only other off series that comes to mind is the Rockets and Game 6 overtime against the Suns. He was able enough to come through against the Rockets when it counted. I don't know what Spurs series you were mentioning. Is it the WCF where he was injured? Because he was having a fine series up until then. And the current series against the Warriors is still in progress. He had a nice bounce back game in game 2 and I don't see him regressing. I've watched some games of last year's Finals and I have to say Dirk hit tough shots that go overlooked because Wade hit one back. There were 2 games where Dirk put us ahead in the final seconds, only for Wade to come back on the other end and seal it with a final shot. One involved the Josh Howard timemout. Could he have done better and should he have, yes. But I think it's overblown and ridiculous to say he's not clutch and tucks his tail in the 4th quarter and runs. I've seen enough of him to know he wants to be in that position.

He only scored 23 points and it was more like an 18 point level performance since a lot of his points were after Biedrins was forced to guard him due to his ejection and he started taking threes after the lead was substantial.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>He had a mediocre game 2.</div>Agreed, but I thought he did a better job from game 1, even though he pretty much set the bar low in that one. It was a bounce back for me and he improved on attacking. This one so far, he's not and I'm pretty frustrated right now with game 3.

I dont think there is a best Dirk comparison anymore...He is a one of a kind player IMO. Bargnani kinda plays like him, but hes not as quick going to the basket...
No one plays like Dirk...You could say Bargnani because he is a 7 footer that is quick, and can shoot....but Dirk really has a much better mid range game than Andrea to be honest...Dirk has some great mid range moves that Andrea has yet to grasp.
