nice analysis kiki, I just wanted to respond about dirk's touch when driving to the basket. I may be "reaching" here, but I feel like I'm noticing dirk getting more comfortable using his offhand more than in the past. Nearly everytime he drove to the basket today, he used is offhand, and to me, he looked pretty natural doing it. I know he has always used his left hand, but I don't feel he has ever been fully comfortable with it. That was about the only thing positive I can draw out of dirk from this game. Terry looked pretty good to me. He seems to be a shoot first guy trying to play the role of a pass first guy. I'm optimistic he'll figure it out as the season progresses.
