What the hell happened to Jameer Nelson's D?

I love Jameer but he couldn't guard a fire hydrant. Combine this with Vince's lackadaisical D and you can see why Dwight gets in routine foul trouble.

Heh. Jameer and Dwight have played together all along. Vince has played for 3 games (71 mins).

Um, yeah.

Since when was Nelson ever a shut down defender?

It's not exactly been his calling card.

It's tolerable.....
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

He's always had trouble with guys like Billups and Stuckey. Other than that though, he's not worse than average, and that's good enough for this team.
Now Vince is a completely different matter where Leesus is going to be missed.

Lets also remember that some of Dwight's "fouls" have been when he goes straight up on his own man and then the whistle comes.

Both Nelson and Stuckey were volume scorers this last game. Between them, they took 33 FG attempts. That both players aggressively attacked the basket can explain, in part, a lack of defensive focus for either player.

Do not forget, whereas Nelson had 8 assists, Stuckey only had 3.

What was the effect on team performance? Stuckey was -7 and Nelson was +7 in the +/- stat box.

Punchline: Nelson outplayed Stuckey. :)

The real question is what happened to Dwight Howard's halfcourt turnaround fadeaway?
