Dirk is the problem with this team.

I remember 2 playoffs ago, Richard Jefferson suffered a similar injury, and since it was the playoffs, he continued to play, but never put up the same numbers and was limping throughout the Miami series. He came back presumably at full strength in 06-07, but by January he opted to have ankle surgery and was out for 6 weeks...hopefully Dirk is 100% before coming back.

At the time, RJ was a high flyer. Dirk isn't and has never been one of those. He'll be back at atleast 70%.
