Ok then who's going to defend Tim Duncan or Yao Ming (and Shaq maybe...)? Who's going to do the little things Diop can't? Like blocking people out and setting good picks? Diop is decent and all but still makes a lot of small mistakes, mistakes we can't afford in the playoffs.
With no D irk, we need someone like Dampier to make us look like a decent defensive team in the paint.
Don't underestimate the power of Devean George.
He's got THREE rings!
I love it when my posts just ooze with NBA insight......
