Dirk's a 3, but in any case one weird matchup doesn't define a team concept. |
I am talking about in an emergency. Brezec sure can't handle Dirk under any circumstances.
At least Herrmann can force Dirk away from the basket when Dirk is on defense. But again that is only in an emergency and probably will never happen unless one of our bigs goes down with an injury.
People way over rate the weight thing. The game is different today.
It consists of
1. Athletic and quick players
2. Three point shooters
3. Quick guards who can get to basket
We can shut Howard down when needed as we did this week. The problem is shutting down 3 point shooters and quick guards, neither of which Brezec can help us with.
It is my opinion that most posters on this forum don't like this deal, because they are disappointed that Joe D. didn't pull off some blockbuster trade so this trade then becomes an automatic emotional disappointment without analyzing it.
