Two great articles about Dirk today. One is for being the Scoring Leader and the other one is Player of the Week! LOL

Man that Scoring Leader article is great. While I agree that we don't want Dirk to be the scoring leader just for the stats, Dirk's scoring is DIRECTLY related to Mavs' record, which is REALLY amazing if you ask me. So Dirk should score more!!!

The good thing about Dirk's scoring is that his shooting % is very high for a shooter. He averages about 46.5% so his high scoring is actually a good thing for the team! Unlike Stackhouse's 36%... no offense. LOL

So Dirk should keep scoring if he can because his % is definitely one of the highest for a shooter!!! And now that when Dirk is not shooting well, he makes sure he gets to the line. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] What's not great about this offense-machine?
