carty64 Boozer's defense this entire game can only be described as PISS POOR. Gave up a couple and-ones then didn't get back on D for the game winner. -
Robtastic Say what you want about the past, but Dirk has put together an impressive string of clutch and gritty performances.-
Ryne Nelson Not to mention his sore ankle and knee. It's been truly amazing.

Dirk's Three Sends Dallas to the Playoffs
FanHouse —
Filed under: Mavericks, NBA Playoffs, NBA Videos, Jazz Crazy series to end tonight's game in Dallas. Deron Williams (a.k.a. Chris Paul's Daddy) hit an extremely difficult three-pointer (bank!) to tie the game for Utah. But the Jazz didn't get back on defense, and Dallas rushed down and fed Dirk for the three, which was good with 0.9 left on the clock. Observe.
Pandemonium ensues, as a surging (and relieved) Dallas team clinches a playoff spot. Relieved because, until recently, it was a very real ...
Dirk Nowitzki can be considered clutch starting now...

If you didn't see just watch, especially the 'Dirk didn't deserve the MVP' haters. Please, I am begging you... Let me just start by applauding Deron Williams of the Utah Jazz because he was truly the reason that the Jazz were even in the game at the end, but Dirk just one ...
Далас ќе игра во плеј-офот…исто како и Денвер
NBA Macedonia —
Сликава кажува се за тоа како се чувствуваа сабајлево во Оукленд, посебно Берон кој ни со трипл-дабл (но и слаб шут од игра од 9-25) не успеа да го спречи враќањето на Вориорси два чекори назад во трката за задњите плеј-оф места. Сега Денвер, после големата победа (иако имаа и минус 16 во првата четвртина) е турбо тимот кој ...
Mavs are in the playoffs thanks to Dirk’s late 3 pointer
Hail Mary Jane —
A few weeks ago, when the deal for Jason Kidd first went down and they couldn’t beat any good teams, I would’ve told you that it was over for the Mavs but with Dirk back now it looks like they are finally getting on track.
They are now winning close games against elite teams in the West and they have finally clinched a playoff spot with their close win over the Jazz last night. This was the shot that won it for them with .9 seconds left. Nice shot Dirk.

Dirk dirks it no more
Bright Side Of The Sun —
That's it. I am officially retiring the use of "dirk" as a verb to signify: Failure to lead your team. Choke. see also Dallas Mavericks playoffs 2006, 2007. Hat tip to Odenized - the ruler of all NBA video clips... To dirk something now means holy crap clutch shot. He's done it to the Suns enough times. But to do it here in a game like this...wundervoll mein Herr the Mavs (who I still insist aren't better then they were two years ago) are a very dangerous 7th seed. I think for Suns fans the 3rd seed is looking a bit nicer if we can pull it off... Oh yes, not a bad shot by ...
