I understand that NY's center's are the equivilant to Western Conference PF's but I still feel placing Dirk at the 5 is inexcusable in these circumstances.

coudn't of said it any better!!!! If I have to see another small ball game tonight, i'm leaving early! Dirk is our #1 one shooter and the last guy I would use as our main defender. If this is true we will be 7 & 3 no doubt.
