What??? He was on an island with Danny Green (6'6").
Duncan had post support, so going around Green was maybe not an option, but shooting over him would have been trivial. And the way Green was draped on him, he probably would have caught Dirk's elbow and Dirk would have been at the line for the game winner.
Everyone wondering why Dirk didn't shoot it are valid in their question. He had the shot.
My guess was that he's really trying to hand the reins to someone else - either Monta or Parsons.
