I'm happy with how the whole team defended Dirk, tbh, regardless of whether it was Diaw, Blair, Jackson, Green, Bonner, Green or even Manu in switches. Everyone was physical on him and bodied him up.

My concern is A) Dirk gets a lot of calls in Dallas that he didn't get tonight and B) when he's on, it just doesn't matter, dude hits a lot of tough shots. He missed 5 or 6 he usually makes.

We played him great, but a lot of it was him not playing well too. Our defense isn't THAT bad when he goes 12-of-15 and it's not this good when he's 5-of-21.

I'm fine with it if he brings that defense...

To the negative nellies, who gives a . His offense will improve as he assimilates. His ing superstar national teammate wasn't even playing tonight. Also, we don't need another ballhog and more scoring. We need ing defense and if he's going to play defense like he did tonight we can win the ing championship.

yeah!

His D was very good tonight. He also, set some some good screens (Ex. Jack's corner 3) and seemed comfortable in the offense.

I was going to write about his screens. They don't show in any stats but good screens are a big offensive weapon - just an ungrateful one.

The single reason why the Mavs could never get around the Suns except for the 06 year without Stoudemire.

Basically this, w/o the ing s s all over the place.

I don't want another DeJuan Blair who thinks he's gotta take every shot in the world like he's some kind of ghetto Pitt rap superstar sponsored by Whataburger
