This is not just a mismatch after a pick-and-roll. Right now, Mike D’Antoni has Chris Duhon trying to guard Andrei Kirilenko.
Though Duhon has a lower center of gravity and can try to be physical with him, the one-foot difference is a recipe for disaster. On AK-47’s first touch, he dropped in a two-handed lay-up over Duhon’s head. The next time he caught the ball on the block, David Lee had to come over to double and Kirilenko dumped an easy pass into Carlos Boozer for two points.
How ’bout a timeout Mike?
What’s the worst mismatch you’ve seen thus far this season?

Luol Deng guarding Lebron James. LBJ scored 41 twice this year against the bulls and the primary defender was Deng. As a matter of fact I think Duhon can probably get 30 pts. on Deng he’s a horrible defender.

When Andreis Bargnani was trying to check Tayshaun Prince in Toronto on Wednesday. Prince was just abusing him with jumpers and drives. Nothing he could do about it.

Amare on Foster, Deng on Bron - that spin/dunk move Bron did yesterday was just a demolition.

Nash guarding Tony P. Nash iz possibly the worst defender in the game & it couldn’t be more evident than against the super quick Tony P. He literally scores or gets penetration at will when nash is on him.

Eddie Curry vs. 2 buckets of wings, a 4-cheese pizza, ranch fries and a large sprite..
but seriously, i woudn’t put allen iverson on john salmons again, dude may just be the est off the ball defender in the L, but on te block he’s giving up about 9 inches.
