Such a hater post lmao. Anyone with eyes saw the impact he had defensively out there.
Only person who could remotely stay with Zion and BI. Won them the game probably.
Omg that court colour wtf
This is beautiful
Thank you for posting defensive highlights OP! I can’t get enough of these.
The fouls are annoying but man he crushed most of the assignments, staying in front of Zion and Ingram is no easy task.
“Go make the all-defensive team. I guarantee you - if you go make that, you get on the court, and if you’re on the court you’ll have to play offense too” - Kawhi Leonard
Too many people here severely under-appreciate 50% of the game of basketball. Love seeing posts like this highlighting how valuable an all-defense guy can be
He has historically been one of rhe unique players who can slow down ZIon 1-on-1. He is also historically one of the players that can slow down Steph. Dillon has unicorn versatility.
Brooks was awesome here. Most people get bullied by Zion, but buddy stood him up and stuck to him throughout. Played great ball denial defense too. Love that
This community is awash with favorable posts about Dillon when he is playing EXACTLY THE SAME as last year.
Its just that he doesnt have a Memphis jersey on, so the community can appreciate his exceptional and versatile 1-on-1 defense. Which we loved and appreciated for years.
Similarly, if and when JJJ leaves our team, I bet everybody would suddenly have the “maturity” to appreciate that he is best suited as a roaming block-hunting 4 and not a classic 5. But because he is still on Memphis, the community insists on evaluating him as a classic 5 and posting his rebounding counting stats ad nauseum. Just like ya’ll were determined to only evaluate DIllon as a feature of his TS% last year, and to ignore his credible defensive impact stats.
