All you gotta do is wait for it.

If it comes, pass.

If it doesn't, shoot.

Pretty simple as long as you just calm down. And it is especially underappreciated with a guy like Duncan, because he is so nonchalant and clinical about it.

Inside-out, as Hal said.

Basketball 101.

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

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)

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)
