"Overall you have to say though that Dirk's inquiry is well reasoned. He gets fewer touches without Jason Kidd and his shooting percentages also go south."
And now the question is...why. ?
Why does Roddy or West pass less than Kidd. ? IMO both guys use the minutes with Dirk on the floor to pad thier own stats. "Pad" is probably too harsh, but once Dirk checks in, guys like Roddy and West almost immediately get better looks on offense, and of course they try to capitalize from it (and use Dirk more as their personal screen setter and decoy). And this is where Dirk should be more vocal and remind Roddy or West that a higher % shot for them is still a worse option than going through him...
Kidd on the other hand does not care about his individual numbers...
