watching Pop send in Doris Diaw to guard the most dominant player in the league is painful to watch.
let's get our priority straight, if Spurs can make it past the 2nd round, we should celebrate like we won the ship. any other aspirations would be ridiculous
Time to enjoy Duncan's and Manu's last year in the league
Lebron doesn't post Diaw nor can he really overpower him on drives. Diaw does a good job of forcing him into difficult, contested shots. I'd love to see the Spurs matchup against small ball with a Parker, Manu/Green, Leonard, Diaw and Duncan lineup.
Diaw can hit 3's and attack off the dribble. Giving Duncan room to operate in the post. Miami would have to choose who to put on Diaw (Battier or Lebron) if they put someone smaller, he can post them up.
Diaw does about as good a job of making things somewhat difficult on the Kang than anyone else on this team, outside KL of course.
I clicked on the thread hoping for a photoshop of Doris Burke and Diaw.
Diaw defends lebron about as well as anyone.
I agree, Leonard clearly should've taken on the maj, huh? Oh...
what? Diaw is excellent at limiting Lebron.
The young player I would really like Spurs to get is former SDSU Kawhi Leonard. This guy is very good and having him would have helped a lot Spurs against Miami yesterday.
Not sure if serious.
I realize this thread is trolling attempt. That said, other than Diaw eventually getting tired, I think he did a fine job on Lebron. Big enough to keep him from pushing into the post and smart enough to not bite on fakes. Diaw always surprises me with his agility. Pretty good moves for his apparent size.
True. Damn you Indiana!
It's a shame we didn't put Paul George on LeBron...
too bad we passed on him for Boozer, and then we waived Boozer anyway. Same ol spurs.
Should've traded Paul George for him, tbh
Nominee for test thread of the new year? And there's been many.
Suicide bomb seems like a good idea in your case
Instead we traded Paul George for J.R. Smith. Such a stupid move I still beat my head against a windshield because of it. Someday my head will go right through.
Seriously it will be interesting to see the deal Diaw gets this summer.
hater with the goods.
1/10
Exactly. He's been one of the main guys on Lebron a few times over the past couple of seasons and has acquitted himself very well. Should they meet again in the Finals, he'll only be looked to for a spot 8 to 10 minutes on Lebron.
Horrible thread, I'd argue that he's actually one of the best in the league to throw on him. You wouldn't think it would work, but with Lebron bulking up so much and becoming much more Big Man than Guard both in terms of physical build and game style, Boris is great.
Essentially, sticking Boris on him forces him into a lot of jumpers or fatigue, because Lebron really can't bully Diaw down low all too well. As great and dominant as he has become, Lebron still has a weakness in that he can easily lose confidence in himself if things aren't going his way. There was speculation that he was losing serious confidence in his shot in the finals last year because boris and kawhi forced (i actually liked Boris's work more though from what I can recall) him into jump shot after jump shot, and when those don't fall it's hard.
As most of us now know, he got over the hurdle unfortunately but boris is a great cover for him for about 15 - 20 minutes a night
you tire me so much tbh
