No, it was a bad matchup. If Dirk wasn't such a horrible helpside defender, we might not have these problems with "athletic big men."

So it's Dirk's fault Damp can't guard Nene? And athletic bigs aren't usually who kill us anyway, it's scoring guards because our guards can't stop dribble penetration.

Not what I said at all. I'm just saying that as long as Dirk is our starting 4, we're always going to have trouble with big men who score off of drives, no matter who our center is, because we have no helpside D.

And athletic bigs aren't usually who kill us anyway, it's scoring guards because our guards can't stop dribble penetration.

I agree completely.
