In response to Albert08
Pretty sure DD was expecting help defense on the low block which never came on that particular play (I believe both Maddox and Barret were sliding up the paint with their players). While I was taught to never allow a player to beat you on the baseline, it seems that SJ's defensive principles allow this to some degree as you will often see a player go baseline only to be stopped, and at times, trapped, on the baseline by help defense in front of him on the block and his original defender on his courtside hip. Of course, I could be completely wrong about this.
