You penetrate the zone and find open slots in the zone. The Mavs did neither. We actually dont have a get it to Dirk and wait offense. If we did, I guarantee we would never win 67 games. Dirk does NOT create his own shots. If he did, then we could run a get it to Dirk and wait offense. Dirk clearly works off of screens and pick and pop offense. If we are not doing one of those, then you can cancel Dirk in for offense. The zone closes down the screens alot, and it closes down the pick and pop. All GS did was switch everything. That was the solution to stopping Dirk. Dirk has nothing else in his arsenal. His basketball IQ is NOT high. That is the difference between Dirk and the rest of the Superstars. They figure out how to beat what teams are doing to them. Dirk has no answers for that type of stuff. Decisions like that cant come from the sidelines, because it will be made a second too late.
The problem is simple. Maybe Dirk needs to spend less time on the floor practicing and take more time watching films and studying the game. Clearly his Basketball IQ is horrible. The smarter Dirk becomes with the game, the more dangerous he will become.
