Dallas Sharpshooters are Making Progress
Quote:
Dirk Nowitzki continued to rehab his right knee on Wednesday afternoon. He participated in practice, rode on the stationary bike and did running drills to continue building stamina. "I had a good rhyhtm there before I got hurt and now it's just about working my way back there, getting my stamina up, getting my legs back under me on the shot," Nowitzki said. "I don't feel like I have a lot of lift right now. Just keep on working, do a little extra stuff after practice, do some explosive stuff and hopefully I'll be back here soon." Additionally, Nowitzki worked on face-up low post moves and elevating for multiple dunks to help regain the lift that he had before the injury. The results have not mirrored the ones he had before the injury but Nowitzki believes he can get back into that rhythm.
Coach Rick Carlisle mentioned that Nowitzki was playing amazing basketball leading up to the injury. "During that period of time, he was the MVP (of the league) in my opinion," Carlisle said. "His value to us -- he’s priceless to us."
Carlisle understands that Nowitzki is going through a lot with his rehab. "The injury is a tricky thing because it takes time to get back and then once you get back on the floor, you’ve got to get through the conditioning aspect of it and then the conditioning of the actual injury," Carlisle said, "That’s been a 8-9 day process and we feel like we’re getting close to being back with him physically and mentally where he was."

Peja is easily the better "shooter" than Dirk. But the major dufference though is Dirk is easily the better shooter while having to make difficult shots.
Every game, Dirk has to make bailout 3s, crazy one legged fadeaways, no look flips around the rim, etc etc. That is what makes Dirk so special. Dirk's degree of difficulty on his shots makes his shooting so special.

Peja is a better threepoint shooter, but not a better mid-range shooter.

Still not sure why we're bringing Peja in considering how good Pavlovic looked against the Lakers.

I presume you're joking, given how silly that comment was lol.
Peja is definitely the better catch and shoot player, probably from anywhere on the floor. However, with a man defending him, peja isn't even in dirk's stratosphere. Dirk has far superior handles, pull up jumper, and post game, in addition to being a superior defender (says more about Peja's D than Dirk's).
However, Peja is going to be an extremely valuable asset for this team. Like Donnie was saying, Peja draws a defender as soon as he walks in the building. His ability to space the floor will be invaluable come playoff time. Defensively, I think that the Mavs should be able to mask some of Peja's defensive deficiencies through the implementation of our zone
