WEREWAIF posted:What's your personal definition of matchup issue? Not quite. Dirk is a stretch 4. That spaces the defense. I don't consider Dirk to be a matchup issue because the way he was played was simply to shove Tiago on him and Tiago did well in that role. If Dirk could drive better then I'd consider him a matchup issue. Tiago would be too slow to guard him, and Diaw is not long enough to bother him. Basically you're making concessions on who you decide to matchup with him. Diaw is a matchup issue for the Thunder because he pulls their only credible rim protector out of the lane, unless Adams is in the game. They also don't have anyone that can guard him at the perimeter and in the post; one of those areas should be soft. Ibaka is a matchup issue for the Spurs because they don't have anyone that can match his height/athleticism and cover the ground Ibaka can shoot from. Fortunately he can't create for himself at all, so this is mitigated a lot. Durant can be guarded by Kawhi well enough, but the Spurs coaching staff decided Parker shouldn't be on Westbrook (a move I don't really agree with). So Westbrook is creating matchup problems because they had to slide 3 to 1, 1 to 2, and 2 to 3. Luckily the Spurs defenders are versatile enough that it's not that huge of a deal, outside of Durant and Westbrook being superstars. Basically I think the Spurs are versatile enough on defense that they don't have any true matchup problems except Aldridge, Ibaka, and Bosh.

I didn't watch much of the Pacers/Heat game cause of hockey overlap but I can confirm that Lance is now my favorite player in the league based solely on the amount of THE INTEGRITY OF BASKETBALL tweets I saw today. Go Lance go, you are my heart.

Go Lance go, you are my heart. Well maybe watch it because he is a jackass, sometimes those INTEGRITY OF BASKETBALL type tweets can be correct. There is funny jackass like blowing in a guy's ear, and there is just straight up begging to get punched, like slapping* LeBron's chin or nailing Cole in the face while 'going for the ball.' He was actively trying to start fights. It was embarrassing. *I am not sure what to describe this 'blow', it was not a punch, not really a slap, but I am not sure what it was

It looked like a full on slap, but he realized at the last minute that basically clotheslining a dude is not the best idea and he pulled up.
