Our pic of the day features Dirk Nowitzki during the 2009 NBA Playoffs.  The 7-0 German reacts to a foul call during the Dallas Mavericks’ game two loss at the Alamodome in San Antonio on Monday, April 20th, 2009.   The Mavs were blown out 105-84.

The image shows Nowitzki in the foreground with San Antonio’s championship banners hanging in the background.  Nowitzki, whom was named April’s NBA player of the Month (regular season), is trying to lead his #6 seeded Mavs over the #3 San Antonio Spurs.  The series is tied 1-1 after Dallas stole game 1 in San Antonio.

The series continues April 23rd, Thursday, in Dallas.
