Adelman pointed out post-game that he'd instructed Bibby to pressure Dirk hard after the pick, because he knew they weren't going to have a lot of time to let things develop. So it wasn't necessarily a failing on Dirk's part to get position, as much as good awareness and anticipation by the Kings defenders.

Adelman also said that he'd given Peja a headsup about needing to pressure Nash off the pick and not let him get penetration as he'd done on a previous play.

I wonder what Nellie told his players.
