The MVP is for the regular season. If the MVP award was awarded for play in the playoffs, then Nash would have as many awards as Dirk.
And yes the blame ultimately rests with Dirk. He looks like he does not want the ball, and when he gets the ball he looks like he wants a double team to come so he can quickly get rid of the ball. If this was a game of hot potato, Dirk would be dominating.
Even if Nowitzki wanted the ball, Harris and Terry are terrible ball distributors. Neither one of them are point guards, they are tweeners who can call their own number, but can not make plays for others.
Avery Johnson does not know what to do.
Devon George should never see any floor time. People claim that the Mavs are so deep, but the fact that Devon George gets significant playing time disproves that claim.
Worst choke job of a season? YES
