Duncan and Orberto get torched by Dirk.
As far as the rotation if they want Bowen guarding Dirk, the same could have been said for their previous options at PF.
I don't think they made this move with the Mavs in mind, but I certainly don't think this hurts them in our matchup, except from the angle of losing a valuable three point shooter.

Not so. Barry could guard Howard in that situation. Additionally, they were less inclined at times to put Bowen on Dirk because they had Elson.
I think you overrate Thomas's D outside 10 feet or so. He can't play much D at all against someone who doesnt have his back to the basket.
