Dirk played bad, but it was not only his fault. Way too often he recieves the ball while fighting for position near the 3pt line with his back to the basket and two guys guarding him...
This makes no sense at all. It is energy consuming and brings pretty much nothing. In those situations he is usually forced to take a low % fadeaway or pass the ball to someone else....
Compare it to Westbrook and co.. Their shots were so wide open...it was sick to watch. OKC definitely knows how to set screens...
I am also pretty dissapointed in West. He does not know how to deliver the ball to Dirk or Jet. Which is sad because he had plenty of time to study our game when he was injured. Maybe we should risk some Roddy in game 2....
Also Wright needs to step up. He should be our poor man's Ibaka.
