That's actually a pretty good observation that nobody talks about. Everybody always talks about them scoring, nobody ever brings up their defense.

Now that I think about it, the Wiz have alot of scorers but they really don't have and defensive standouts.

Haywood's a good rebounder/shot blocker.

But his man defense is aweful.

If your Spurs are playing so-so ball come the Rodeo road trip and don't get their act straight, you better pull out your best silverware and pick out your fork cause your going to have to stick it in them for they will be D-O-N-E.
This is the realistic and daunting time table they are faced with. You will be fooling yourself if you think that come Mid to late February they will still "have time". :nope

They have roughly 30-35 days to do this. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock.

I get the info from watching the games. Just watch any time a decent big man goes up against him. Decent big men get career nights and look like All Stars against Haywood.

Maybe because he's always out of position trying to stop all the penetration that their porous perimeter defense allows?

Go learn to see basketball, counterpart production is garbage as an indicator. Haywood is an excellent defender.

Nate Robinson wants to be traded to the Cs.

What? Stats? Excuses?

Haywood is a very good defender. In fact his on-the-ball defence on the post is his best attribute as a player, his biggest strength. He's also a good pick'n'roll defender. Good shot-blocker. Great combination of size and quickness. Very sound from a fundamentals perspective. Fast changing ends on transition.

[Allanon]

What? Stats? Excuses?

Hold on, I'll go find your stupid stats thread. It's that one where you bitched out and ran :lol

Let me go search for that stats thread, it will be fun.

Excuses is what you're making for Haywood in this thread; when you have no stats to back it up. :lol

Yes, this is why other opposing Centers have big nights against him.

You mean, like opposing centers used to have big nights against, say, Perkins, when the Celtics were one of the worst defensive teams in the league, or Bogut, when the Bucks were the worst defensive team in the league, etc etc.?

You're a know-nothing. Big men get creamed all the time if the perimeter defense doesn't work. If the guards are too slow fighting the screen, they'll leave their big man out to dry so long, making them unable to recover for his man. If they're getting broken down, the big man will have to step out to deny penetration, leaving his man alone. Fuck, this is so 101. Again, you're a know-nothing. Go learn to see the game.

Perkins and Bogut when they were Rookies? Haywood's an 8 year pro and still lets other Big men punish him and that's a "good man defender" to you?

I wouldn't argue with mogro, that dude knows his shit!

Also, I noticed the Mavs have TWO Sat/Sun back to backs within the next 2 weeks. Isnt that usually rare in the NBA? I cant recall the last time the Mavs had a Sat/Sun back to back.

You must think I'm a basement dweller like yourself to spend my life here talking about basketball with know-nothings like you. If you want me to answer to every piece of crap you post here, you better start putting a notice when in threads I'm posting or send a PM or something, because I'm not screening this forum every day.

No, when they didn't have other good defenders to play alongside them. What's so difficult to understand about this?


Hahah, what a stupid fuck you are. When the stats fail to back you up, you resort to excuses as "basketball knowledge".

When have I used stats to evaluate a player's defence? But if you want stats, here are some (disclaimer: I do not endorse the use of stats to evaluate a players defence):

Wizards points allowed per 100 possessions when Haywood is on the floor:
107.4

Wizards points allowed per 100 possessions when Haywood is off the floor:
113.7

Wizards eFG% allowed when Haywood is on the floor:
48.1%

Wizards eFG% allowed when Haywood is off the floor:
50.7%

Here, you have your stats. Now go learn to see the game, as stats won't help you to know what makes a good defender.
