I honestly believe that Artest won't give Dirk any trouble whatsoever, or any smaller defender for that matter. Guys like Marion used to give him trouble, but these days Dirk can handle the likes of Marion, AK, and so on. The only one that's given him problems this season is Bowen, but I think that has much more to do with San Antonio's effective double teams than it does with Dirk not being able to handle a smaller, physical defender.
