Bet Dallas wished they still had Diop

[Shot Blocker]

Duncan just went 31 and 15 on them

 

[Dark Defender]

Duncan would have gone 31 and 15 no matter what, did you see the look on his face during the game?

He brought his A game.

^ true, GM3. the diop "Duncan Stopper" label is overblown, going back to that series, Duncan went off in that series, dominated the Mavs in and out BUT in he final 4 or so minutes of Game 6, Diop started getting physical with duncan and held him down nicely but he is far from a Duncan stopper and when TD wants to dominate, he can thoroughly, no matter who is guarding him.

but either way, dallas needs size in the middle. Damp is OK but not someone you would expect consistent contributions from. Bass if there first big off the bench and he's 6'8 at best

The problem is what do they do if Dampier picks up two fouls in the first five minutes of the game?

They have to put the Pet Semetary version of Jamaal Magloire in the game for extended minutes.
