Did you notice that each time stoppage of play occurred dirk had to retuck his shirt. It's because the entire time the defender had a handful of jersey. Many more could have been called but were not.
Timmah gets bodies in the post, everyone gets bodied in the post, tough beans, no one gets those calls.

Exactly. The fact is, Dirk gets fouled almost everytime he catches the ball in the high post. Guys are grabbing him with both hands, pushing him in the back, ect. You can't do that 15 feet out. NO ONE ever does that to Kobe, Melo, ect. They let him catch the ball and just play defense. I don't understand why guys think they can hold on to a guy facing up or catching the ball 10-15 feet from the basket and be surprised when a foul is called (and more times than not it's not).
