He wanted to dominate, but he didnt look like he wanted to lead.
Anyway, its hard to put much credit in a game where we were without Finley, Stackhouse, Daniels, Harris, Dickau, and for 3/4 of the game, Howard. Missing 5 significant players in the first 3 positions is significant. It's even harder to put credit to any game where the trio of Hood/Sasser/Lopez combine for 71 minutes

But what's the point if you're Dirk? There's really not one when you're our there playing with Hood/Sasser/Lopez. I'm guessing Dirk knew this game would be a joke. Returning from a family member's funeral and playing with a bunch of misfits does not spell an inspiring performance.
