What the heck is going on with Nowitzki? He took 2 shots the entire 1st half! 4/4.
Way to go Nikola. You have to give him credit for playing the game hard every night despite being stuck on a horrible team. That is the sign of a true leader. If they can surround him some better talent, Orlando could be a good team again in another year or two.
I predict Dirk goes for 25 plus tonight.
I'lll be honest. I'm really bummed out about the TWolves. One thing I have noticed is they don't the ball to Love in the 4th quarter in close games. K. Martin is good but he takes alot of bad shots and he shoots too much. He rarely passes the ball. I think he tries to hard to be the star. He is a very good player but Love is the star. Even the announcers in several games have pointed this out and it's not only Martin. Other teammates don't seem to get the ball to Love either. He takes far too few shots in close loss after loss. It's too late for this season but maybe something to work on for next year. I still think they need more scoring off the bench. Fredette is one of the answers they need.
Only 4 games in the NBA tonight.....

Kaman, 13/9

Nowitzki now has 26,552 career points. All he has to do is average 15.9/game over the last 10 to crack the top 10 all time.
I told you guys that Nowitzki would go for 25+ points. He never, I repeat never has back to back bad games. He is one the best shooters I have ever seen. On top of that he is as competetive as they come. Dirk is his own worst critic. He expects to play good each and every night and he takes pride in that. He is by far the greatest international player of all time and probably one of the top 5 nba players to ever live when all is said and done at the end of his career.
As I say countless times and I will continue to say. Long live "King" Dirk Nowitzki. No Lebron your not the king. Dirk is sitting on the throne!
It's shaping to be a big night in the NBA for us....

Matthew Dellavedova has been one of the pleasant surprises this year. After going undrafted and hearing all the typical "he's not athletic enough" nonsense that Whites always get labeled, I thought he had no shot. I give Cleveland credit for giving him a chance and now he's paying them back by becoming a key contributing rotation player.Dellavedova brings Cleveland back from being down 18 points in the 4th with 21 points/3 boards and 6 assists!
Singler 18 points for Detroit in the loss to Cleveland.
Mr MVP Kevin Love has a triple double at the end of the 3rd quarter as the Twolves are leading the Lakers by around 30 points! Wow is this guy amazing. Love has 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists! :icon_eek: Nikola Pekovic finally returns after a very long layoff and he has 26 points as well. Great game but we needed this a long time ago. Still happy to see them having fun out there. Even Nash has been playing for the Lakers when he was supposed to be finished for the season. Good to see.
