Re: At Philadelphia April 9th 7PM

In terms of AA/Dixon, i rely on what i see. More often than not Dixon gives points to the other team whether it be turning the ball over (which he has cut down) or getting scored on. He gets blown by, he gets lost in screens, and he's short. He scores points and then gives them right back. He's a weak link on defense that will exploited in the PO's. The fact that he plays with Hayes makes it worse.

What we need in the PO's is defense. We already have one weak link in Hayes. We don't need to add another. Dixon can be useful at times, but if he's going to play over AA, we're in trouble. You can't afford to just give the opposition a way to get points. Dixon at times might as well be wearing a "If you want to score" sign with an arrow pointing at him.

AA also has value on offense. He's a good ball handler, he can push the break, and i just look at any points he gives as an extra bonus.

Do you feel more comfortable with Dixon or AA on Ray Allen? Hell on Eddie House?

Also using Iguadola is not a valid example. He's an SF. Mo Cheeks plays him at SG at times to create matchup problems which seems to work very well against us. So of course defending him out of position will be hard for both players.
