Dirk was getting pushed around last night. He had the ball poked away numerous times and was flopping instead of going to get the ball. See the jump ball in the first half, where he was more interested in selling the foul than getting the loose ball. He didn't try to get to the hole much last night, especially in the first half.
He played like a puss last night from points 0 through 15, then woke up a bit at the end - but still wasn't hitting jumpers. Murph is at least right about that.
Dirk has got to get stronger with the ball, for as much as he handles it with his back to the defender.
