Reallllllly?Nothing homerish about that at all, Iguodala never gets credit for his work on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I feel like Dwight's defense is starting to get overrated. He doesn't seem to have the same effect on his teammates like Garnett did back when he first joined Boston and made them a defensive powerhouse.

Mentch Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I dont think Dwight is getting overrated. Often times he makes up for his teammates' mistakes. I agree that he doesnt make the defensive play around him better, but he makes up for it himself by being such a force in the lane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
