^^^ It's more to do with Dirk's lack of jumping. Post players like Splitter have an array of fakes, up and unders that only work if the defender falls for the fakes easily. Dirk only keeps his arms high and never jumps anyways so he defends guys like Splitter very well.
And Dirk is a better defender than people give him credit for, he shut down Pow and Christina Bosh in the playoffs last year (considered the two of the top 3 PFs in 2010), not to mention great hands to strip the ball and that epic block on christina.
