Dirk's Ankle Improving

by Wes Cox on Apr 27, 2008 4:27 PM CDT in News

Coming into the playoffs Dirk told Jake his ankle wasn't getting much better .

Dirk mentioned his ankle hurting his lift, which has affected his rebounding. I had wondered about that, and I was impressed with Dirk's honesty on the point. I asked Dirk if it was improving at all. He said it really wasn't.

It seemed safe after reading that to think that his ankle was as good as it was going to get since he was going to continue playing on it. But it actually has started getting better, and according to Art Garcia Dirk played without a brace in game three.

Obviously, that's good news.

yeah i saw this...

it sucks we cant get EVERYONE else rolling consistently with him. This is what is frustrating. Even with a bum ankle, its almost as if he played even better than when he was fully healthy. (offensively that is… defensively is a different story, but all things considering, he’s done a pretty good job.)

I really hope JET continues on this streak, Kidd plays like he did the last game of the season, and Josh just attacks the rim.

I’m also starting the “Run the pick ‘n roll” chant right now. We need to abuse that play. We have all the players to run it, we cant defend it (because we dont run it practice probably) so lets start doing it!
