After Finals Game 1, Dirk Nowitzki has torn tendon in his left middle finger

Wouldn't worry too much about it. He needs to get better at the boards, though. His shots will fall sooner or later and the refs will not keep allowing that much contact on him.

Sad to hear it, although good its not his shooting hand.

He got 12 Fts.. His not getting 24 Fts every game..

[QUOTE=lilgodfather1]I have a torn ligament on my left thumb, which is my off hand. For the guy that thinks it will effect his left handle dribble drives then you are wrong. It doesn't really effect shooting either though.[/QUOTE]
I have also torn a tendon in my left hand. I'm sure each tear is unique and different, but my case sounds a little similar to Dirk's, in that my finger sort of shriveled up and I couldn't straighten it back out. I have to say, it wasn't terribly painful. It was more disconcerting because I didn't know if I had insurance to cover it. The splint should help alleviate the straightening issue, obviously.

ISH > you

If Lebron announced he has torn tendon after losing game 1, ISH would called it fake.

It's called credibility. Dirk has it.

Yep I don't recall Dirk talking about his messed up elbow(allegedly)

Dirk With the Excuses... :facepalm

[QUOTE=DJmicah]Dirk With the Excuses... :facepalm[/QUOTE]

If it was an excuse he would say it was on his shooting hand you moron. He even deflected talk about it in the post game. He played like shit and he knows it. He doesn't need excuses. He hasn't his entire career why start now?

every person that hates the heat will say that the ring doesnt count because dirk was "injured", everybody will say wade got too many freethrows the first time and he got injured the second, "poor dirk he desrves those fluke heat championships!" and im sure he'll say something like" it was too bad I got injured we couldve won" I expect refs to be the main excuse though

No no no Dirk is really injury. He not faking it like that rapist we have here in LA.

The Heat can whack at it and it's going to be harder for him to rebound and stuff with the pain from it bothering him. It's not a huge injury, but it will affect him a little.

Not a big deal.

Who cares what people who hate the Heat have to say? As a fan all you should care about is the team and their accomplishments. Success will always gain hate, circle of life. F the haters let them say what they want.
