Seems like he is lacking a lot of confidence. Dirk will rarely shoot straight up. If the ball is dished to him from the 3 point line, he'll pump, then drive. When he is playing the high post, he will always do his little jump fake before fading away (even on a point guard).
I want to see Dirk shoot straight up. Shoot the ball right after the turn around on the high post. He's doing too much to get a shot off when he can just pop at will. Like I said before, who can think of more than 5 guys in the NBA that could guard Dirk's jump shot?
Shoot the ball big feller, shoot it.

I was thinking about the free throw I missed [late in Game 3], about different situations that happened in that series. I'll never forget it. It's going to stay in my mind until we win it all."
