Who is gonna guard Dirk ? i notice some teams have success putting a smaller guy on him like GS (Stephen Jackson) and San Antonio (Bruce Bowen)

Is Josh Howard injured or something? Since he is missing from the starting lineup.

No... I believe KObe Bryant has backwards... per Dallas News... Stackhouse is injured and will most likely sit out ... Howard will be starting

You can put anyone on him, even the worst defensive player on your team -- it doesn't matter. The trick is sending another guy at the right moment (i.e. apex of his spin move, if he gets within 10-feet of the basket) without fouling. That, and Dirk's kind of in a funk this season.

So far we've responded after losses, lets see how this goes. I say let Dirk get his and make sure nobody else hurts us.

Go Lakers......Odom will score 27 if its a blowout....meaning he scores all his points in Garbage mins
