Dirk leaves midway through the first with his ankle injury in a 121-90 loss. Marion did not play.

So what does this prove? Anything can happen on any given day. Dirk was dominant offensively in two games, struggled in one game, and left with an injury early in the first in another.

Bad games happen. Last year, Dirk shot over 50% from the field versus the Suns. Yes, they slowed him down one game pretty well, but he ripped them apart in two others. Your theory about Dirk and Duncan is extremely unproven and based upon 1 game.
