Well, he's fine against them because he can post them up, I agree.

Dalm's point though was that Dirk could slash in that lineup. I don't think so. I think that lineup turn Dirk into a jumpshooter because A. he has a quicker guy on him, so at best he's going to post up from the free throw line, and B. in that lineup an offensive blackholse is in the game, so Dirk is going to be doubled by a big at the free throw line.

Bottom line though, is that Dirk can't guard 3's. I just don't think that lineup works.
