Alright! 7 players in double figures. A plethora of candidates for the Dirkie. The Dirkie doesn't always go to the highest scorer. Sometimes it's the overall contribution to the win. Sometimes a bench rotation guy can earn the Dirkie. It's rare for a deep bench guy to get a Dirkie. In fact I can't remember one in recent games...or years...I guess. But...it could happen.
The Mavs came out and played like a good team...for the first quarter. in the second and part of the third quarter they kept letting the Pelicans claw their way back a bit and give them hope. This irritates me. I've always believed that when you have an opponent down...jump on them! Hammer them! They'll remember it for the next game--it'll strike a little fear in the back of their minds. Don't let'em back in the game!
I'm gonna go with Luka for the Dirkie. He's had some less than sterling games this year. Luka plays best when he's loose and free, happy as a lark, smiling--and that hasn't been happening much this year. I'm not sure if it's being out of shape, injuries, or maybe somebody has been speaking to him like a step child, but he hasn't been playing with a smile. This game he did. I'm Glad. I'm smiling.
