Oh, please give your 'lecture' - it should be hilarious. Marion set, what, about two picks a year? You do know the difference between setting a pick and faking a pick then peeling away to the hoop before the offensive players arrives, don't you? Why do I ask since you obviously do not. Even Boris's moving picks were of a variety the league has allowed for years - Duncan has been doing it for at least six years. Don't you remember him crossing his hands over his crotch and then taking little bitty steps as he bulldozed a defender going under the screen down into the post? I suppose not, even though it was so weird its hard to imagine anyone who pays any attention missing it. Yes, Boris, was very good at picking off defenders going under screens - that's how he got (and still gets) his mismatches in the low post. The league has always been more tolerant of moving into defenders going under screens than going over but now, anything short of flooring the guy is allowed. I don't like that interpretation, but its allowed and its quite widespread. I'm certainly glad that they let other players do what TD has done for years.
Amare faked screens at times and copied Boris occasionally but mostly he set traditional screens and he did move on his share of them. But if you're going to claim the refs gave him more lattitude than other bigs doing the same, I'm going to disagree with you. In that, as in every other way, the refs took particular delight in nailing Amare. Can't say as I blame them too much with all his immature bad behavior but nail his a$$ they did - at every opportunity.
So please, please do lecture away and remove every trace of doubt that you have any idea of what you're talking about.
Dang, with that name I should known I was wasting my time on a troll...
