In defense of Fin, he hasn't been attempting to score quite as much as Dirk (.51 scoring attempts per minute as compared to .55 for Dirk, those numbers take free throws into account, btw). Still, he's clearly been looking for his shot more than anyone else on the team other than Dirk. Up until the GS game he'd been shooting well enough to deserve being the second banana, but in general it will be important that every player on the team other than Dirk, and this goes double for Fin because of his seniority, really commit to passing the ball around.

If he has any daylight, we need him to shoot the ball. We know it's going in." -Dirk Nowitzki on Jason Terry, after JET's 16 point 4th quarter against the Pacers.
