You can tell that by the pathetic way the Spurs attacked the mediocre 2-3 of the Mavs. That almost cost G3.
Seriously I think that would work, expecially with manu and Hill chasing the guards and Amare.
With the Spurs at home, this definitely has merit; Frye's going to have to prove he can hit those big shots on the road. So I'd definitely lean towards seeing more of this to close games, and I'd definitely like to see more of 'Dyess -- it's death to try and out-small Phoenix ... I'd rather they play their best players late (which 'Dyess has proven to be in these playoffs).
It's pick-your-poison, as you and timvp discussed in the other thread, but it is what it is. At home, I'd rather make Frye beat me (and you could change a defensive rotation or a make a tweak in the last 6-minutes to your defensive play-call that could bring a small over to get Frye off the line -- whom you rotate off of would be determined by the lowest percentage shooter on the floor or the success they had during the game).

Even if Frye is on the floor with Amare, Hill, Nash, Richardson. Dice could guard Amare in the bread and butter that is the Nash/Amare pick and roll. Tim could guard Hill that way Tim doesn't have to close out as hard to the 3 point line as if he would checking Frye. Spurs could get away with Jefferson guarding Frye and Jefferson can close out to Frye faster and get there to contest more adequately than Duncan would.
If Suns were to try to exploit the Hill match up on Duncan so be it. I'll take Hill attempting 15-20 foot hesitation jumpers slightly contested by Tim than the latter.

Or that ... I agree.(I just woke up from a nap before posting and wasn't exactly seeing the whole picture.
)
Grant is absolutely money when he's able to take a couple of attack dribbles and pull up for the midrange jumper but I'd venture to say he's not as good of a shooter off the catch-and-shoot (even if he's still pretty good from the midrange). Regardless, I'd much rather that than a Nash layup, Amar'e dunk or an unaltered (not uncontested ... because just getting in the picture of a 6-10 three-point shooter doesn't mean a whole lot) three from Frye in the guts of a game.
But if the Spurs are up 1 and the Spurs have to choose between Hill or Frye hitting their respective shot in the clutch, I'd definitely take my chances with Frye over Hill. Again, he's going to have to prove that he can replicate the confidence to be a dead-eye on the road; I know Hill has what it takes.
you take naps?I just woke up from a nap...
Today I did. I'd recommend it, too, if I had planned it (since it was probably more classifiable in the 'passing out' department).
What's the idea now?
Play TD at the point?
Where does it say switch the pick and rolls?
Cute try though.

it's still the effect of forcing Tim to defend perimeter guys
Never did it say for Tim to guard the point guards.
Nice try again.
