Dont forget Dirk usually lost early.
2011 was more of a fluke outlier in his 20 year career of very short playoff runs.
Missed the playoffs 5 times
Lost in the first round 8 times
Lost in the 2nd round 4 times, (all were 4-1 series)
Dallas was the poster child for the standard talk radio cliche of "going fishing" or "hitting the golf course in may".
Only 3 time in 20 tries, did Dallas have anything but a short stay or miss the playoffs altogether.
His win in 2011 was countered a bit by losing in 2006 as a heavy favorite and a 2-0 lead.
I have nothing against Dirk, but he helps reinforce the notion of needing help in the modern era.
We expect Lebron to somehow stay put, but looking at the nonstop failures of Dirk, you can see how that is unfeasible.
Dallas made the mistake of moving Chandler that offseason. Foolish.
