Not going to work unless he literally leaves him wide open. Lebron knows all he has to do is dribble up to Peja, put his back on him, spin move, then dunk.

the point of this move is to get bibby on JJB not Chalmers
You SOB, you, Che.
Hold me the back, boys.

James has yet to do anything this series sustantial except on the fast break. And help defense will definitely need to be there. You don't want to leave Peja on an island obviously. But if James has to guard Peja, that opens up things for everyone else as James' help defense is vital to Miami.
I understand,no reason to try and oppress yourself my friend![]()
Thing is, its not just Peja's defense that is a problem. He has been having bad turnovers, and is not rebounding well.
why not Brewer over Cardinal?
+10000000
Barea will be able to blow past Bibby at will. Chalmers can at least somewhat hassle Barea. If Barea can consistently get into the paint, good things can happen when having a chance to dish to a cutting Chandler or Marion, as opposed to being forced to dish out to the perimeter to Terry and Peja when playing in the second unit. Miami can make them pay for those long passes. But I've noticed they are extremely weak when defending dive cuts, because they overplay everything on defense, relying on their athletic ability to make up for it. Won't work on dive cuts though, not enough time to recover.
Probably because the Mavs have more of a need for a guy with size.
They were playing him out of position. He obviously needs to stay a SF no matter what.
FYI, the FBI monitors the internets freak
Bibby actually plays good defense. I was impressed with his defense on Derrick Rose.
We are talking about backup PF....He is probably too afraid to go with the Matrix at 4..
I'm like McVeigh, I won't go easy, nor alone.
Just like that. Our depth is gone. WIth one stupid move we now lose our punch off the bench. No Barea or Stojakovic off the bench. Key players to our series against the Lakers. Oh yeah and Haywood injured.
Peja has scored 1 more 3 pointer than you have in this Finals son,we aint really gonna miss him.
PS.What's the status on Haywood?
Bibby played rose for 5 minutes tops, he is a terrible defender
You don't need a bench now. It's or walk time. Everybody plays max minutes. Carlisle should reach for riding crop and use it with extreme prejudice.
Game time decision. Haywood didn't seem too confident though.
You're a ing idiot.
That's stupid. You gotta pace yourself. It's a 48 minute game. Your team will run out of energy similar to OKC if you play max minutes. It never worked for this team to take away their bench advantage. Our depth is what we are.
Watch the ing Bulls/Heat series before opening your mouth next time. Bibby held his own and played smart defense.
Bull .
Depth isnt going to matter too much at this point unless people get in foul trouble. They need to play their best players huge minutes. The only loss of depth that hurts the Mavs is Haywood being hurt.
The key is that pressure is taken off of Dirk on offense, whether its by the bench, or starting unit.
It's a marathon. Not a sprint. This isn't a young team. They can't perform at a high level if given maximum minutes. We need the bench to allow the starters to play at their highest level. Their highest level is usually around 32-40 minute mark. Any higher and they will be exhausted. Anyways Stevenson has played better than Barea in this series anyways. Stevenson is by far best suited as a starter. Bench players need to score to keep the offense going when key starters are resting.
