Cohen 8-Ball: Intriguing Questions
Cohen’s Analysis: Dirk Nowitzki recently stated some frustration with Mavericks management and the decisions they have made. Should Dallas be blamed for a tumble in the standings without a guarantee it will make a big splash in free agency or should Dirk look in the mirror and realize that his meager performance since returning from injury is the more pressing issue?

Nowtizki needs to realize that his team’s strategy is a smart one and his complaining isn’t helping.
