Dirk Nowitness

Dirk is Irk no more. Yes, that's Dirk with capital "D". Transforming and evolving right before our eyes. Having a defensive minded coach helps in this regard. And, if you are 7 foot long, you have no choice, you have got to play defense. His rebounding is now higher than his regular season average. Meaning too that he's holding court on the defensive end. And on the offensive end? Well he just torched Phoenix Suns earlier today to the tune of 50 big times points. This, without hampering the movement and production of his team mates. And we all know that ONLY teams advance to the Finals. Therefore having Howard, Stach, Terry and the gang playing with confidence and a legit superstar in Nowitzki, the finals is within reach.
