Dallas has more defensive focus, but they aren't anywhere near as good defensively as Detroit was that year.

----------------------

So anyone want to put the W's strategy on Dirk in a nutshell. Swarm him when he gets the ball - del 2007-04-23 17:22:24 (558 views)

front him with someone who's faster than him - gswfan4ever 2007-04-23 18:12:06 (97 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 (121 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 (91 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 (80 views)

they put a quicker defender on him - chase 2007-04-23 17:37:28 (128 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 (101 views)

Well, I certainly would not call players like Terry, Stack or Howard mediocre. - Fandorin 2007-04-23 17:32:28 (87 views)

Dallas will run more pick-and-rolls rahter than post Jirk - Epileptik 2007-04-23 17:29:22 (83 views)

Which means AB will be used more. - The Big Rebounder is Fond of Us 2007-04-23 17:30:23 (89 views)

True. Hopefully Monta defends it better though. - Epileptik 2007-04-23 17:32:01 (81 views)

Gameplan: Stay small, take Dirk and Howard away, force TOs, team defensive rebounding - buzz 2007-04-23 17:27:54 (90 views)

that's pretty much it. - fanstrated 2007-04-23 17:26:01 (91 views)

Agreed, but they are taking away Howard as well - buzz 2007-04-23 17:28:43 (87 views)

Most NBA Champs have 2 superstars - Hosertron 2007-04-23 17:23:23 (131 views)

Well, Detroit didn't, but they made up for it defensively - Shallow Hal 2007-04-23 17:25:22 (132 views)

Thing is, Dirk doesn't make good passes when the double comes - Shallow Hal 2007-04-23 17:23:21 (158 views)

esp if you are doubling off from Devin Harris, Diop, or Buckner - gswfan4ever 2007-04-23 18:13:30 (83 views)

Yup - he tends to just pass out rather than find cutters. - Ben 2007-04-23 17:25:26 (91 views)

Exactly what he should do - buzz 2007-04-23 17:32:35 (133 views)

True - basically yesterday he was just too slow at it. - Ben 2007-04-23 17:35:17 (114 views)

Duncan and Shaq are both phenomenally patient in that way - buzz 2007-04-23 17:39:32 (120 views)

Yup, totally. Those guys are the best in the business at the kick-back game. - Ben 2007-04-23 17:43:24 (110 views)

Duncan will actually wait and wait for it... I mean, he *wants* you to double him - buzz 2007-04-23 17:46:06 (111 views)

That's one of the many differences between Duncan and Dirk, lol. - Ben 2007-04-23 17:51:33 (95 views)

When you're at the top of the key with your back to the hoop... - Epileptik 2007-04-23 17:28:27 (118 views)

Well, that's the beauty of the Warriors plan. - Ben 2007-04-23 17:29:23 (114 views)

agreed! - Epileptik 2007-04-23 17:30:26 (79 views)

front him - Billy Hoyle! 2007-04-23 17:23:13 (80 views)
