It's Dirk.

Need to give CP3 some credits though.

Offensively, Dirk.

When taking defense into equation, Dwight, but of the players left, LeBron.

Dirk. His numbers took a dip in that game 4 vs the lakers because it was such a blowout he didn't even have to do much (its funny how shooting 7 for 11 is a dip) . But if you watch the games Dirk is just so influential in creating all those open 3 pt shots and penetration lanes.

Dirk's been good

I would say Durant but I'm going to need for him to calm Westbrook down before I say that

Lebron and Wade are doing whats expected of them...balling out of this world

Top 5 IMO:
1. Dirk - the best player in the playoffs so far, has come up big in the 4th quarter in almost all the games and lead his team to the WCF by defeating the defending champions.
2. Z-Bo - Has been a beast so far, I wish the bulls had him instead of boozer. He has been so clutch and mas made some unreal shots and had huge games against the spurs and thunder.
3. Rose - Has taken a lot of shots but I think it's warranted if you take into account the no show that Boozer has been so far. Avg. nearly 30 and 10 against the hawks and has the 2nd highest usage rate in NBA history since Iverson in 2001.
4. Durant - Has shown why he is the best shooter in the league. Made some huge shots when he can steal the ball away from Westbrook. He needs to assert himself more often and demand the ball.
5. Lebron - He has been huge for Miami and done whatever they needed for that specific night. If they needed a huge scoring night from him he did it and also did the little things when Wade takes over to help them win.

Rose and Z-bo have been playing better than Wade huh?...Dirk's been the best player by far?

No one's opinion are right or wrong but my goodness

Wade should on your list.

I don't think there are many people who will say that Rose has been dominant during the playoffs. He was good early on against Indiana, and in Game 3 against the Hawks, so he hasn't been bad, and even in his bad games he's not bad, but he hasn't had many great performances. Plus he's shooting like a Drunken Iverson.

Its Z-Bo no doubt, cant believe he's not even in the poll.

He made Tim Duncan look silly and sent home the #1 seed in the playoffs because he dominated their frontline.

And it wasnt just because the Spurs were old up front, because he's done the same pretty much to OKC, who has probably the best young defensive frontcourt in the league.

I'd go Dirk #2

Statistically, Wade is the best. He leads the league in PER and WS/48. How is he not TOP 5?

he'd be even better if he had 100% usage. then we could say, who should he pass it to hes got to take his shots his teammates suck they average 0 points a game.

From those four, Dirk, imo.

Randolph against SAS: 21.5 on p/g on 50% FG 57.00% TS
Randolph against OKC: 26 p/g on 37.8% FG 50.08% TS

ZBO is doing a lot of work on the boards against the Thunder but IMO he has not been as good as he was against SAS, and not as good as Durant, Dirk, etc.
