i know that dirk and nellie want to say the PC thing..but no, dirk did not get his touches in the first game. the kings don't do a great job against him..
they had no answer for him when he got the ball down low..at least force them to find an answer.
if the mavs pick and roll/pop/fade is not working, the team quickly becomes a one-on-one team. More often than not, the player going one-on-one is the PG and the offense becomes horribly stagant.
Sure, some one-on-one play by the PG is fine, but too much will kill a team on the offensive side. The ball simply must go down low more often..whether it's dirk, fin, or nve..
Sacramento does not have an extremely solid interior defense by any stretch of the imagination. I think that if the Mavs would attempt to exploit it, you'd see that they have some issues down low as well
