Dirk Nowitzki only focusing on Game 3 - Dirk Nowitzki (F) Dallas Mavericks

Dirk Nowitzki acknowledged that it's been a "frustrating couple of days" for the Mavericks' franchise, but he's more concerned about Friday's crucial Game 3 against the Rockets.

"It’s been a frustrating couple of days for this franchise," Nowitzki said. "But I think when you’re down and stuff is not really going right, you focus on yourself and what you have to do to get ready to play. You focus on the guys that are here. You focus on the gameplan, make a few adjustments and go from there." Dirk is obviously talking about Rajon Rondo's mysterious back injury here, but he didn't go into much detail as his primary focus is getting a win tonight to avoid the dreaded 0-3 hole.
