"On whether Dirk's problems so far have been more physical or mental:

Sherrington: With Dirk it's always a combination of things. He's a guy who's very regimented and has made himself into the player that he is today. He's a great athlete for a seven-foot guy, but he's very much a made athlete. He's done everything a certain way every year and worked very hard, so I think the fact that they've crammed this season in, he was not expecting it to start when it did and I think that's really thrown him. You watch him in that game against the Spurs and there was a couple of times that he was completely lost on the floor. I think that's not so much a matter of not caring as much as "I'm not ready for this.""
