Oh sure Dalmations, I completely agree that Dirk and Fin make it easier on Stack...especially Dirk with his ability to draw double teams.

Stack can't be the#1 option that he once was because he's lost a step ...lost some explosiveness. At times, he's turned into a jump shooter. Frankly, he's just not a good enough jump shooter to justify being a jump shooter. He has to have the ability to drive to the bucket as well. With Dirk out, he doesn't always have that option. So, more often than not, he just has to be another cog in the wheel offensively. Unfortunately with Dirk and Fin out, that's all they have. Yes, some of the players are capable for going off for 20 or even 30 from time to time, but the consistency isn't there with any of them at this point in their careers. Either they're past that point as in Stack or they haven't quite gotten there with the young trio.
