Dirk Nowitzki is a top 10 player in the NBA at age 37

[DMAVS41]

Still very good, but nowhere close to a top 10 player.

Ducan has never outplayed Dirk.

27/13/3/1 (52%) in 44 mpg
32/12/4/1/3 (55%) in 42 mpg

Lol Dirkules raped the Hornets in 07-08, the hell are you talking about, son?

Yet he lost 4-1.

[DMAVS41]

They won't. Schedule is too easy for them to miss it.

I'm not sure what you are looking at, but the Rockets are and still should be favored to make the playoffs over us.

We won't have the tiebreaker either iirc....so it's still at best a coin flip for the Mavs.

The Rockets end the year playing;

Suns
Lakers
Wolves
Kings

So even if the Rockets lose to the Thunder today and the Mavs on Wednesday...they are still not out of it. And that is assuming Mavs beat the Wolves today in a toss up game.

538 still has the Rockets favored by over 10% against us to make the playoffs...and, again, that is likely assuming the Rockets lose today and Wednesday...and neither game is close to a lock.

We are still alive and in better shape than we were 7 days ago, but we are still likely to miss....and given we don't even have any semblance of a healthy team...losing to the Wolves and or Rockets becomes likely.

Also, we end the year with this;

Clippers
Jazz
Spurs

The best hope is that the Spurs don't try the last game of the year, but we still might have to steal one against the Clippers or Jazz to make it depending on what the Rockets do and if we beat Minny/Rockets.

Duncan in 03 against Dirk: 36/18/6/3 on 61%

Dirk: 25/11/2/1 on 43%

Yes, never been outplayed by Duncan,.

There's no point in Dirks career when he was a Top 10 player

Dude didn't have the athleticism to be considered, plus his defense was always mediocre

So I guess you don't consider Bird to have ever been a top 10 player?

Dirk was a top 10 player for a decade.

[Fudge]

Nope, sorry.

Durant
LeBron
Curry
Leonard
Westbrook
Aldridge
Green
Klay
J.Butler
CP3
Harden
Lillard
Walker
George

He might not even be top 15.

[aj1987]

Wade has been better than then. Dirk is arguably top 20 at BEST.

[DMAVS41]

Nope, sorry.

He's definitely not top 15...LOL

He's still a rock solid player, but he's not a top 25 player in the league even.
