When Dirk is in the game he has to babysit ballhogs like Barea, Terry or a rookie like Roddy. And Rick Carlisle is stupid enough to accept 5 or more consecutive possessions where Dirk does not even touch the ball. All we see is Jet bricking a fast break 3 with 20sec on the shot clock or JJB dribbling the ball for 20sec and then turning it over.
Earlier in the season Dirk's temamtes made their shots and did not force anything, but right now you can clearly see that a guy like Jet or JJB are in "me 1st" mode because of their shooting slump. And Kidd's old legs can't create anything. A guy like Kidd needs to attack the basket/or post up and dish it out to an open guy. But he can't do it anymore. He is more or less a dead,.... even Brandon Roy with two bad knees could do it yesterday.

Kidd kinda sucks an he won't take shots. Just sits around the perimeter and passes the ball.
JJB doesn't hog the ball as much as you mention, he is trying to contribute to wins, I think he's played well the last two games. He is pretty much the only means of penetration we have now. Idk wtf happened to Rod lately he needs to not be learning from Kidd but learn from JJB.
