Player of the Game: Dirk Nowitzki
After getting shoved and bumped for three quarters without calls, Dirk took over. I expect to see ‘Dirk 4 Führer’ signs in the stands for game 2. Herr Nowitzki had 18 points in the fourth quarter and dominated every possession down the stretch for Dallas who, other than Dirk, had no offense going.
Most surprising Moment:
Jason Kidd going apeshit from downtown. As my friend Sully said, if Jason Kidd is hitting threes off the dribble, it’s all over.
Favorite moments:
- Lamarcus Aldridge going backdoor twice on Peja Stojakovic for alley oops was hilarious and led to Peja now being known as backdoor Peja. I couldn’t find video on youtube, but this picture pretty much sums it up.
- Dirk had the best cut of the game when he backdoor Peja’d Lamarcus Aldridge in an act of revenge against the abuse of slow European in the NBA. This happened because Portland was so worried about Dirk getting into his midrange game. But instead, he went to the hoop and got free throws. He made all 13 of them that day.
