i dont think dirk was killing spurs last year. dallas almost lost that game. and dirk got foul call which was not even foul. the thing is dallas got lucky last year coz manu ginobli was charged with foul which he hadnt committed. so they went to final but since they didnt deserve that they lost the finals. and i dont buy that matchup nightmare. actually dallas was having matchup nighmare with goldenstated this year. so i dont dirk is unstoppable. even 8th seeded team which barely made playoffs can shut down dirk. I am not saying dirk didnt deserve MVP but he choke as well in crucial moment.
