No point in even watching this series. Lakers can beat the Hornets (minus David West) even if they sit Bynum for the entire series. Lakers once again get the easiest route possible in the playoffs. Injured first round team, injured second round team (no matter which team they meet there), then WCF. Lucked out again. But perhaps the second round might be interesting.
Winning titles is a far cry from the real expectation that he should be able to lead his team to first round wins with home court advantage..
I'll give you 07.
Other years? Spurs last year had better players and a better coach.
You would have a point if Dirk had played poorly. He's one of 4 players to average over 25 and 10 in the playoffs.
Career 26/11/3....and has played great consistently.
Lead teams? His teams have been awful. I'd love to watch Kobe or any other player try to win a playoff series with Jason Terry as his 2nd option.
Its just so funny how everyone just ignores how well Dirk plays and put the blame on him for having to carry sorry ass players like Terry and Kidd and Howard in the playoffs.

They would have played an injury plagued first round team regardless of whether it had been New Orleans, Memphis, or Portland. Of course that's not why you're bitching is it?

Not to mention LA is injured themselves with Bynum's bone bruise. How fortunate.
