Suggesting NAW and THT can guard Dame isnt extreme hyperbolic?

Suggesting that NAW and THT play a position and are of a size of player to put on lillard isn't hyperbolic. Hell, THT even did guard lillard a bit last night. Dok didn't though. If you see Dok, a 7 footer who never ever plays, the exact same way as you see THT and NAW then the discussion is over. Agree to disagree.

When a player is going off, one way to try and slow him down is to start calling plays for the guy he is guarding and even run some plays where the guy has to fight through screens. You tire him out on the defensive end.

I miss when Dame could dunk. The Gobert/Dame at the rim showdowns where some of the best of Gobert's career.

The tweet from Dan Clayton is in the other thread, but Gobert has blocked Dame the most of any other player, 22 times.
