Of the two Dallas wins, and the one where Dirk missed the last shot, Dirk only had single coverage on him.

I really don't understand why they don't double him early sometimes. I can see after he's held it for a bit and everyone is just waiting for him to shoot or pass, but when he firsts gets the ball I'd double then. They did it early in the series and his passing wasn't good at all and they got a bunch of TO's.

This Wade injury is probably a strategy by Wade and Spo to basically force LeBron to play aggressively.
