On Monday 11/24/08, Dirk was named the Western Conference Player of the Week. He averaged a double-double with 27.0 points and 10.3 rebounds. He led the Mavs with wins over the Charlotte Bobcats, Houston Rockets, and Memphis Grizzlies for a perfect 3-0 week.
This is only the 9th time that Dirk has earned this award. The Mavs needs him to keep this up if they want to keep winning. Maybe Josh Howard being out is good for the team?
