as soon as he turns his back have the weak side man come and try for the steal. Let the rest of the Mavs try to beat you, and since the rest of the team is deep but mediocre...

front him with someone who's faster than him - gswfan4ever 2007-04-23 18:12:06 (86 views)

make him go right, but also take away his spin move. And, when he DOES have the ball.... - Leo D. Playmaker 2007-04-23 17:50:48 (111 views)

"Get up in his grill and talk dirty in German to him." Wouldn't he get turned on, cuz i would. - Method 2007-04-23 17:52:23 (80 views)

weak side defender is sent to double when Dirk turns back, rotation to counter the cross court swing - RonnyReagan 2007-04-23 17:46:00 (70 views)

they put a quicker defender on him - chase 2007-04-23 17:37:28 (117 views)

and rotate quickly - which they have been doing - they swarm - a bunch of ranging 6-6 to 6-9 guys - elpeezey 2007-04-23 17:36:18 (90 views)

Well, I certainly would not call players like Terry, Stack or Howard mediocre. - Fandorin 2007-04-23 17:32:28 (78 views)

Dallas will run more pick-and-rolls rahter than post Jirk - Epileptik 2007-04-23 17:29:22 (71 views)

Which means AB will be used more. - The Big Rebounder is Fond of Us 2007-04-23 17:30:23 (79 views)

True. Hopefully Monta defends it better though. - Epileptik 2007-04-23 17:32:01 (71 views)

Gameplan: Stay small, take Dirk and Howard away, force TOs, team defensive rebounding - buzz 2007-04-23 17:27:54 (79 views)

that's pretty much it. - fanstrated 2007-04-23 17:26:01 (81 views)

Agreed, but they are taking away Howard as well - buzz 2007-04-23 17:28:43 (78 views)

Most NBA Champs have 2 superstars - Hosertron 2007-04-23 17:23:23 (121 views)

Well, Detroit didn't, but they made up for it defensively - Shallow Hal 2007-04-23 17:25:22 (121 views)

Thing is, Dirk doesn't make good passes when the double comes - Shallow Hal 2007-04-23 17:23:21 (146 views)

esp if you are doubling off from Devin Harris, Diop, or Buckner - gswfan4ever 2007-04-23 18:13:30 (73 views)

Yup - he tends to just pass out rather than find cutters. - Ben 2007-04-23 17:25:26 (82 views)

Exactly what he should do - buzz 2007-04-23 17:32:35 (123 views)

True - basically yesterday he was just too slow at it. - Ben 2007-04-23 17:35:17 (103 views)

Duncan and Shaq are both phenomenally patient in that way - buzz 2007-04-23 17:39:32 (111 views)

Yup, totally. Those guys are the best in the business at the kick-back game. - Ben 2007-04-23 17:43:24 (99 views)

Duncan will actually wait and wait for it... I mean, he *wants* you to double him - buzz 2007-04-23 17:46:06 (101 views)

That's one of the many differences between Duncan and Dirk, lol. - Ben 2007-04-23 17:51:33 (84 views)

When you're at the top of the key with your back to the hoop... - Epileptik 2007-04-23 17:28:27 (109 views)

Well, that's the beauty of the Warriors plan. - Ben 2007-04-23 17:29:23 (104 views)

agreed! - Epileptik 2007-04-23 17:30:26 (68 views)

front him - Billy Hoyle! 2007-04-23 17:23:13 (69 views)
