Playing him pretty physical. Dirk's got to stop swinging the ball threw low on dude before the dribble or he'll keep getting it stripped.
When he did become so good? I thought he blew on D a few years ago.
i said the whole time that Collison would be the best big on Dirk
scrappy white guys always give him the most trouble
At least we can dispell the myth that Perkins was that great defender... he's just ing made...
Dirk should go to the cops and file a sexual assault charge. Collison had his hands all over Dirk.
He's playing tough and certainly has given Dirk some problems. But he's grabbing and groping and caressing and fondling Dirk like it's Saturday night in the back of the movie theater.
I don't mind as long as they let Marion do the same over at the other side with Durant. But as I said in the other thread, Marion gets calls against him for trying to get through screens.
And Jammy, not even you would say that Durant plays more physically than Dirk. If anything it's the other way around.
True but Kidd has done the same late in the 4th all playoffs on Kobe and Durant, but it was pretty crazy how the reffing has changed since Game 1 where they called all of those plus things less physical than that.
rofl this is idiotic. He's ten months out from acl surgery. He himself says his knee is at 65%. Besides all that he's a center.
He went all Haslem/McDyess.
Its specially great in games where they call every touch crap on the other end of the court
They certainly didn't let the Mavs get away with much this game.
It actually does take alot of strength to constantly grab, hook, and hold a man for 48 minutes.
While it's true that Collison is playing good defense on Dirk, I think it has to do more with where Dirk is getting the ball. I have NO idea why they are getting him the ball at the top of the key or near the sideline, that is just an advantage to Collison because he's just crowding him and fondling him whenever HE can.
Carlisle has to make the adjustment to get Dirk in the mid post range, where Dirk can back Collison down and then go for the fadeaway. Collison is good but Dirk's offense is better and I think with some simple adjustments Dirk should be alright.
tbh Collison should just see how far the refs will let him go and bear hug Dirk at some point.
tbh no one can stop Dirk but Collison's defense on him and Randolph these playoffs has been pretty impressive. Unless you're some delusional nut hugger. Dirk'll probably drop 40 next game anyways.
He's the best defender on him they have to offer, especially when he can foul with impunity.
always thought Varejao guarded him the best overall tbh
Ibaka, though not as physical, did a pretty good job keeping Dirk at bay heading into the 4th by making him take some long range strongly contested shots as well. When he got help from Perk in cutting off the baseline layup it forced Dirk to either have to throwup a bad shot or force a tough pass to the corner in traffic.
He's still made... he never stopped being made... and it's not surprising that he looked great next to KG, but looks ing lost next to Ibaka...
He looked great turning Dwight Howard into a shot blocking Horace Grant when KG missed that playoffs though. All by himself not double team help whatsoever
How that worked out for Boston?He looked great turning Dwight Howard into a shot blocking Horace Grant when KG missed that playoffs though. All by himself not double team help whatsoever
What happened when KG came back?
Nono is right. Perkins is a product of a championship that magically turned him into some bball legend. He's a squatty Ryan Hollins.
Perkins just doesn't matchup well with Dallas. The only time he was effective on D was against Haywood. Chandler's too long and athletic for him. Nazr needs to see more time.
