Dallas Mavs trigger man Dirk Nowitzki is suffering from a Left Middle Finger tendon injury. Dirk's been a an x-factor to Mavs trail towards finals. Though Dirk's still in the game, for sure, this could somehow affect his game. Now, how will Dallas Mavs compensate?

Game 1 has been a very tough game for both the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavs. Its only in the fourth quarter that Miami was able to make a run winning game 1 of the 2011 NBA Finals.

The real series has just begun. who's gonna take game two? place your bets, 'coz game two's going to be a hotter one.
