Apparently the uploader is going to post game 7 soon. I had forgotten about this series, but damn, Dirk was sizzling in this one. Absolutely torching the Blazers with what seemed like 20+ points in the 4th.

Underrated playoff performer, IMO.

I think he scored in the 40s the first two games as well. Blazers nearly won the series though...

Was looking up his game 7 stats, and then it hit me. This was the series Dallas nearly choked away after leading 3-0. Portland almost stole that last game too. Ha!

Dirk had a fantastic series, though. Probably his best one up until that point (killed it vs Minny and KG the previous year). Had 31 and 11 on 57% shooting in game 7.

yeah it was crazy. they were losing/trading leads up until the final 5 minutes of game 7.

Then next series they beat Kings in 7 because Webber went down.

My goodness, he's so good. He had some major pep in his step back in the day. Underrated athleticism.

Bill Walton is great. "You might want to guard that guy."

5:55 summarizes how bad of a coach Cheeks is. Mavs go up 11 with 5 minutes left on the clock and he looks like he is done.
