MainEv3nt Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki is starting to get tired of carrying the team in clutch situations. "It just feels like at home I've got to make every shot down the stretch to win," said Nowitzki. "That's how it feels. If I don't make it, like that pull-up left, we're losing. I don't know; we've got to figure something out." Dallas has lost five games at home, one more than they have on the road this season. "For some reason, our energy level here at home is nowhere like we should be," said Mavericks forward Shawn Marion. "I don't know if we're getting lulled to sleep out there or what. We've got to get this energy like we should at home. We should be unbelievable here at home." http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/63598/20091223/dirk_feels_like_he_has_to_make_every_shot_in_clutch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Yeah, it seems like they always pull out home games in the final minute. Especially last year when they had an amazing comeback against the T-Wolves. I think that they are confident that they can wait until the 4th to light the opponent up and win most of the time.

JWaLL Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 That's what happens when you're the franchise player of a team. It's Dirk's role to carry the team, though I do see what he means by his teammates not being as contributing as they should be down the stretch. Still, Dirk shouldn't "complain" about that.
