I wasn't aware wins and losses in baseball are decided by home run total. Obviously he's doing other things, but come on, the best player in the world has more to show for his Finals fourth quarters than a few assists and solid defense (and it's not like he's guarding Dirk).

The Mavs sure are doing a lot of talking. About the Heat:

basketball is not decided by the amount of points one person scores (just like baseball isnt decided by the # of home runs you hit). if that was the case, the Knicks would be the champs.

from the article NTamm posted above:

Terry, the Dallas Mavericks' charismatic sixth man who likes to bust out his arms like airplane wings after he makes 3-pointers and prides himself on cold-blooded shooting in the clutch, has found little breathing room with Miami Heat forward LeBron James shutting him out of the late-game offense.

"They keep sticking him [James] on Jet in the fourth quarters and he's been doing a good job," Nowitzki said. "Jet hasn't really been a crunch-time, clutch player for us the way we need him to."


Nowitzki scored 34 points in the 88-86 Game 3 loss and he scored the Mavs' final 12 points of the game. Terry, the team's second-leading scorer, was 0-of-4 from the floor in the fourth quarter of the disappointing home loss that put the Mavs in a 2-1 hole with Game 4 on Tuesday night at the American Airlines Center
