I'll let Mak's words in the Dirkie setup thread explain it to you since it was already said.
Quote:For what its worth, the original “Dirkie” was actually meant to recognize exactly the type of player you’re describing — the most underrated / overperforming player of the night.
Dirk would almost always be the ‘player of the game’ and he was obviously the clear-cut #1 player over the course of the season for the team — so the Dirk-ie was created to recognize whoever stepped up to be Dirk’s “Dirkie” on any given night, which would be a different player all the time. At some point tho people just started voting for the best player overall tho.
Hopefully this was Wright's coming out to play party! What a game for the guy!
If that second quarter happens again with these guys, I'm willing to say it's a budding trend. Edit: 38 pts vs Wash, 45 pts last night.
Not sure Lee is the right starter, although, it just seems like it's forced upon RC. I guess he did do pretty well on Beal, so there's that.
Saw at least a few plays where Curry was getting after it on D, I really like that.
JJ puts me to sleep with his lethargic style. He's good, it's just one of those weird things to me.
Loved the 5 blocks to go with 24 points, I saw a few more plays where he could have at least challenged a few more layups and dunks. I wonder what made him go after that Favors dunk and not the rest (I get it....foul trouble).
First triple double of the season to go with 25 points! In game 2! Love it!
The hype train has a chance to be realized if Zion can come in and do what he did in pre-season. Although, I think he'll probably push Favors to the bench which against our team, we could probably only handle the 1 bruiser at a time.
Enjoyed this game more than the last, hopefully that continues!
