Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Asik's help defense is very advanced. I love Thibodeau's coaching. He's got all of these guys playing smart, coordinated defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Terry with an awful pass on the move. Anything that requires thinking neutralizes Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Chicago is really hustling in early defense. The Mavs can't score in transition. Asik has really been the biggest difference with high-energy defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Luol Deng fronting, three-quartering and full on denying Dirk preventing him from getting the ball...as Terry makes a second awful pass, this time on a two-on-one fast break. You can't make bad mistakes like that against a good defense like the Bulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Thomas can't show on the screen, Korver nowhere to be found, Terry hits the jumper. Dallas doing a good job on the glass as Brewer gets a steal on another poor Dallas pass. Dallas' defense ans rebounding keeping them in the game.

Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 With Gibson and Thomas on the floor, the Bulls don't have great rebounding, but the Bulls defense forces the Mavs to call for time on a BLoB play. Awesome defense. These teams really are two of the best defensive teams in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I like what the Mavs are doing. Gibson gives up size and strength on the block. They're posting him with Dirk, Dirk owns a trip to the line from the post. Get Dirk the ball on the block and milk it. The Bulls may have to outright double.

Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Outstanding defense from Deng with his hands up in Dirk's face and Dirk still hits it. Deng's just too short, but I do like him on Dirk more than Gibson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Outstanding close out by Deng and Dirk actually misses a three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 And Deng plays some terrific post defense and Dirk burps up an awful shot. People need to watch this guy, he has a legit beef to win DPoY as Dirk misses again in the post over Deng. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Man, if you like defense, these teams are getting after it. The Bulls still have a bit of trouble finishing around the hoop---that has to do with the fact that Boozer and Noah are out and Rose misses some layups, and Dallas can't get much going aside from Dirk and Chandler post ups.

Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 What Reggie Miller doesn't understand is that it's hard to run the Mavs when they're sending four guys back in transition defense and are very coordinated in their defense.

Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Pavlovic' release is too slow. By the time he puts up his shot, Asik is able to contest it. Nice job by Thibodeau giving Asik playing lots of minutes, he's played great on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Asik dives for the looseball, the Bulls get the ball, leads to a dunk. The Bulls compete as hard as any team in the league. Rose hits a pull up three and the Bulls put major pressure on Dallas with a strong second quarter close. Very nice half by a very nice Chicago team.

Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Dirk isn't bothered at all by Gibson in the post. He gets whatever he wants against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Dirk was late recovering back to Thomas on that baseline screen and then he bought on a pump fake. It really broke that play down for Dallas' defense. The Mavs need to be more disciplined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Rose is able to play so far up on defense, he really breaks up a lot of oppoent's screen/roll offense simply by working so hard. Thomas isn't a shot blocker, Chandler with nice touch, Mavs are back in the game.

Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Good touch pass by Dirk to find the open man and there's Deshawn Stevenson knocking down the three. Dirk then doesn't put his hands up as Gibson hits a short jumper.

Erick Blasco Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Good call as Kurt Thomas always tries to commit these wily offensive fouls to free up his teammates' drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
