I think Dirk, along with the Mavericks faithful, finally woke up tonight. That was definitely the most electric first-round game I’ve ever been to. You would’ve thought we were fighting for the championship the way the fans were yelling. Our defense still isn’t quite there yet, and the Warriors are still hitting some incredibly tough shots. That said, it’s still ride or die with #41. If he doesn’t step up, it’s over.
It’s time to earn those MVP chants, Dirk.
