I watched that 99 Game 5 as well. It stressed the importance of getting stops, dominating the middle and rebounding.
The game plan that should've been utilized again this year.
Pop sucks.
That strategy worked very well with a lightning-quick David Robinson who cleaned up any penetrator who got past his man. How many times, watching that game, did a Knick seem like he had a wide-open lane, only to have DRob swoop in seemingly from nowhere and block or change the shot?
Has there ever been another help defender like David Robinson in the past 30 years?
Diop is a of a help defender.
That's bannable.
CD you are a moderator, ban his dirk loving ass
Yeah, and Mark Cuban is a stud.
Can't hang with me being here? That is weak man. Kori would just unban me if that's the case since I didn't mention anything other than what was the key to the mavs defense. Without Diop Dallas has no help defense.
You simply can't mention DRob in the same sentence as that other guy.
The question was "Has there ever been another help defender like David Robinson in the past 30 years?"
Your answer was Diop.
Diop does some things well, but he'll never be a help defender (or a defender, period) in the David Robinson class. You might as well compare Marquis Daniels to Michael Jordan as an NBA scorer, or Devin Harris to John Stockton as a point guard.
He will.
He will.
He'd say the same of you.
I'm just comparing Diop in "help defense". Diop doesn't do much else but help defense he is about as active as I've seen this year. Ben Wallace has taken a step down to what he used to be. It was the combo of David Robinson and Tim Duncan that made it so hard to get in the paint. It could be close to the same with Diop and Duncan since Dirk obviously isn't as good of a help defender as Duncan.
"Has there ever been another help defender like David Robinson in the past 30 years?"
"Yes, in the past 30 years there has been DeSagana Diop."
Did somebody compare Diop's to Robinson's defense.
Jezzus these Mavs' fans are dumb.
And we're reminding you that even just in terms of help defense, Diop couldn't hold a candle to David Robinson. Help defense is a great deal more than rotating over on ball penetration. Diop is improving as a help defender, but he's nowhere near the help defender that David Robinson ever was.
Diop?
