I don't get the comparison

KD can guard the three position.

There's no way in hell Dirk could guard a three.

All these years I've never even thought of Dirk playing defense. Was he guarding Garnett when he was in Minnesota? Has he been guarding Duncan all these years? Does he guard L.A. now?

I think he does. I imagine when they play the Spurs Dalembert guards Timmy though

He doesn't guard those dudes now that he is older but in his true prime he did

He used to bust KG ass when he played for the Wolves as a matter of fact

Dirk was never a good defender but he was decent

He wasn't a liability like he is now defensively.
 
guys what I am saying is that KD can play the 4 for stretches when the thunder go small.

They can play Ibaka or Collison at the 5, KD at the 4, Lamb at the 3, Russ, Reggie or Thabo, Fisher and Russ

I am not saying it should be permanent....I am saying that lineup could cause headaches for the opposition
 
curry, for that to take effect he would have to actually play lamb or pj3. brooks is an idiot incapable of doing so. this series should be 3-0. the grizzlies can't score and they can't stop the perimeter from getting to the rim. it should be easy cake out there. guys go to the rim no jumpers unless you're wide open. score the bucket or get them in foul trouble or both, every trip.

You're inventing line ups?

Why do that when it's not your best line up :confused:

How is that helping OKC? What advantage do they gain?

Durant can get his shot off against threes, why does he need to try to force a four to guard him?

That doesn't make them a better rebounding or defensive team.

And again, do you not notice how skinny he is?

Can you name a four who is as skinny and weighs what he does?

Kevin Garnett had to grow in to a four, and his game wasn't as dynamic as KG's.

This what I'm saying. Why is Butler getting so much play. Fisher is waaaaaay past expiry. Why not play the young guns? Brooks is big ol DUMMY
 
good

go for the fucking layup. or go for a screen or something to get a good shot

dumb ass coaching decision. now next game is a must win.

that 40 point ass whooping when yall should've tried to win game 2 is probably gonna bite you in the ass
 
How is Durant a PF :confused:

The dude who couldn't bench 185?

And probably couldn't do 10 reps now.

So was Magic a 3 or 4 playing in the one spot :rolleyes:

and is Lebron a 4 playing in the three spot :rolleyes:

Bosh must press 150 :lol: but he will be better off taking a page out of Bosh game and use his speed while pulling the other teams PF out and stretching the field opening lanes..

man gtfoh

bosh was a post player all of his damn life. the heat are the dummies using him wrong. kd is a dynamic scorer who plays from anywhere on the court.

if they ran a simple pick and roll they would steam roll through everything
 
These dudes are fools :lol:

You kissed dick in the mouth

Charles was like that didn't sound right :lol:

That's all right it's two o'clock :lol:

Bosh is not a good post up player, trust me.. KD is at least as good as him in the post.. But thats not my point... My point is that KD can still be in the perimeter but do so at the 4 position, this would force the other team to either go small or try to guard KD outside with a big guy..
See here is the problem with how they play now, KD is a great handler for the 4 spot, a great passer for the 4 and a super great shooter for that position.. However at the 3 spot he is a below average dribbler (he gets aways with that shit in the regular season but pays for it when the game slows down) he is a below average passer for a sf, and have a great shot fro any position.. On top of that vs teams that know how to work their half court set, KD often get caught up on bad miss matches and this is the reason why Memphis was blowing by their front court like they was swiss cheese.
