Finally some recogniztion for a Dallas player
He deserved it, no doubt. Great week for the mavs, and they play Seattle tonight. I believe in his 2 games against them, Dirk has averaged something like 31 a game (?) With his hot hand, this average should go up by the time this game has ended. If Memphis loses and Mavs win, they are back in the 5th spot in the playoff picture.
