I love watching Dirk Nowitzki, even though he's older, slower, and as clumsy with the ball as ever. I see the concerns with him guarding forwards and teams making switches on him. I want lots of defense from a 5 though and his shot will always be there. Instant offense off the bench is what I hope we can get out of him. However, Carlisle gets paid the big bucks to figure this out, not us. I hope Dirk has put in all of the usual work so that maybe he won't be as slow as we think he'll be.
