Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? Alrite, PM me if you want the post to this article on 41fan.net (Dirk's official homepage).It says..."I know this is going to sound crazy, but I really believe it is true. I think Avery is sacrificing Dirk to protect himself.He did it in the playoffs and he is planning on doing it this season as well.In a recent interview on a sports radio station Avery said he is planning on using Dirk in the post much more. Avery said "you can?t wait until the playoffs to start playing Dirk in the post"...Why do you need to change the game of one of the best offensive players in the league that drastically? Why did Avery change Dirk?s game in the playoffs as drastically as he did by playing Dirk in the post constantly, even though he saw it wasn?t working? Avery wouldn?t even run a set play for Dirk, he was running isolation plays every single time. He never once tried to get Dirk an easy shot in the playoffs.I honestly believe Avery was throwing Dirk under the bus to protect himself as a coach, and he is going to keep doing it until Dirk or the fans stop him. Which might be never, because I think a lot of people wrongly believe Dirk should be a post player.Look what happened in the playoffs when Avery put Dirk in the post. It made it look like it was entirely Dirk?s fault the team was failing. Avery even blamed Dirk saying, "It helps when your star player plays like a star".Avery is a shrewed guy, don?t believe the dumb act. I believe he is sacrificing Dirk to protect himself, and I honestly think he would let Dirk go down in flames to protect himself... just like he did in the playoffs. "Well, what do you guys think?IS Avery putting blame on Dirk?
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? They need Dirk to play in the post to punish the little guys like Bowen, Marion, Artest, and etc. Dirk is starting to dominate in the post as of lately so I totally disagree with this logic. Dirk wasn't ready to play in the post last year in the playoffs but I feel this year is different.
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? Dude, did you read ANY of that article, mavsfan?Avery used Dirk as an excuse!
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? Avery has said he's not changing Dirk's game just this past week, as he doesn't mind Dirk shooting outside. He even said he would never change that part of Dirk's game because that is what makes Dirk special. Stop trying to make something of nothing.But he wants Dirk to play in the post more because letting guys half his size simply push him out is ridiculous. And Dirk knows that he needs to punishing players downlow. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Avery is a shrewed guy, don?t believe the dumb act. I believe he is sacrificing Dirk to protect himself, and I honestly think he would let Dirk go down in flames to protect himself... just like he did in the playoffs.</div>Your an idiot, if we lose, Avery looks as bad as Dirk, because coaches are the first to go. Avery is letting Dirk develop a post game while using his perimeter skills this whole season, that's why he's getting press for MVP. He's not sabotaging anyone.
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? Lmao, man, CALM DOWN!Didn't I tell you at the top I did NOT write this article? Lolz, I think it's kinda bullcrap, but hey, what if, you know?

I've seen nothing to support what the guy is talking about this year. I hate when people try to create a story and tension.
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? Oh my bad. I didn't see the quotation marks. I thought you got the idea from the article and came to the conclusion that Avery is sabotaging Dirk.
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? No, no, not like that, man. Here's the actual thread if you wanna read it:http://www.forumromanum.de/member/forum/fo...adid=1110195578OH, BY THE WAY, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY DIRK WAS BAD IN PLAYOFFS LAST YEAR!!!-He had a case of brochomitis, so it must've affected his game.-Dirk asked Avery to not limit Dirk's minutes in the final games of the season. Dirk said after Game 1, he felt completely worn-out after half-time because he had not played a considerable amount of minutes in almost a month. He even took a game off with almost 10 games left by Avery's command.
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? Waques can you explain why you post at that all girls site
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? That site looks like all chicks to me.Even the layout is girly. :thumbdn1:
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? Lolz, DUDE, this is Dirk's official site, but he has no control over the layout, lol.He's solely commited to NBA, only did a Punk'd, and that's all...
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? Yeah that punk'd episode was pretty funny with Michael Finley and all.
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? WEll I don't believe that...I do believe he needs to play Dirk in the post against the smaller players that teams will throw at him, Marion and Bowen mainly, and whenever they throw a big at him, he should take them out side.
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Lolz, DUDE, this is Dirk's official site, but he has no control over the layout, lol.</div>It says Official Homepage for Dirk FANS, and the url says 41fan.net. It's a fansite, not a official website.
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? Dirk shoots 47% or above against...-Chicago-Denver-Detroit-Golden State-Houston-Indiana-Miami-New Jersey-New Orleans Hornets-New York-Orlando-Philadelphia-Phoenix-Portland-Sacramento-Toronto-Utah-Washington60% of the NBA!Let's look at his PPG against teams (at least 27):-Chicago-Cleveland-Denver-Golden State-Houston-Indiana-Memphis-New Orleans-Orlando-Phoenix-Sacramento-Toronto40% of the NBA!!That means he has a 50% chance of being a 27 PPG, 47%+ player in the postseason, lol...
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? Yeah, so it's pretty good, because lots of those teams Dirk shoots 45-46% and scores about 26 against.He's averaging 26.3 PPG, so it's all good.
Re: IS AVERY JOHNSON SETTING DIRK NOWITZKI UP!?!?!? Lolz, well I calculated that Dirk has a 50% chance of shooting 47% and averaging 27 PPG in the playoffs.
