At least, Mentally.... Once Dirk comes back, this team will take off...

I think you are right MightyToine. Whatever doesn't kill us will make us stronger, and as much as it pains me to see Dirk out of the lineup, I think that Dirk's absence is allowing guys like Josh Howard to step up and that will ultimately make us a better team. That darned Lakers game nothwithstanding, this Mavs squad looks like it is really getting comfortable and starting to come together, and watching Toine, Tawn, Nash, and Howard step up on different nights is making me very happy. Of course we sorely need Dirk to return in order to regain the offensive spacing and defensive rebounding dominance that his presence facilitates (especially this Friday), but I think that in the long term our team will be stronger for having had to deal with the adversity of the last week and a half...

Offensive Spacing and Defensive rebounding dominance, huh?
I think we've had plenty of good looks at the basket but we just haven't been able to knock down the shots. Dirk will certainly help immensely in THAT department.
As for the Rebounding? We don't really need Dirk for THAT right now with the BEAST FROM THE EAST-ern Conference, Antoine WALKAH! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
