Dantoni is STUPID!!!!
A defensive-system that have athletic shotblockers defending the paint
is the only thing that can stop elite scoring players from scoing in the paint.
Other than that, one on one players are not going to stop elite scorers
from scoring from the peremeter.
u have to double Carmelo/ Lebron/ Kobe/ Wade
Watch a Celtics game, or a Miami game. PG/SG/SF will back away from
the paint coming off of a screen simply because they see that the defense
behind the pick and roll is solid. They know it won't end well if they drive at
that time. Against the Knicks that is almost never the case regardless of who
the "one on one" defenders is. When you play the Knicks, you know that if
you beat your man, you score or get an easy basket for a teammate. That
just isn't true for good defensive teams. Great defenders will get torched
regularly if Dantoni was their headcoach.
