Avery Johnson put it best. “Dirk is a warrior.” Can anybody deny that? He plays a day after a sinus injury, after having a horrible shootaround, and for all we know, maybe he’s still nursing that ankle he hurt in that Seattle game. Nowitzki is just a beast. No denying it. He doesn’t care about stats or field goal percentage. Heck, he throws up a prayer even if it’s impossible and knowing that it might lower his percentages. All Dirk cares about is playing in every game, taking the big shots, keeping his teammates happy, and most importantly, winning. You don’t see this much in sports, but Dallas fans should feel lucky with the Flying Dutchman.

Anyway, just wanted to share this about you, since Dallas winning is basically happening almost every night. The summary of the game? Dirk comes back from a sinus infection while scoring 31 and corraling 15 boards. Ray Allen has an 18-point second quarter, but the rest of the quarters were horrible for him. Dallas limits Seattle to less than 35 points in the 2nd half.
