ed note: Any not totally insane post about Boris Diaw getting this kind of love is getting bumped! Hat Tip to French Suns fan Warmup for the post...and for the record, when you think about it and watch Boris it does make sense...he is a very good defender and usually is matched up against much bigger players so Amare can stay out of foul trouble

Hi
What do you think about this?
It was surprizing!
(what is not surprizing is my low productivity at office the last few weeks. Go back to work!)

All-Defense: Who brought the D this season?
By John Hollinger
POWER FORWARDS

Honorable mention: Anderson Varejao, Boris Diaw, Josh Smith, Lamar Odom

I have to mention Diaw (5.29) because his numbers have been huge and opposing power forwards have had only a 13.6 PER against him. His numbers weren't anywhere near this good in past seasons, and subjectively, I don't see his being close to the class of some of these other guys, but the numbers warrant at least discussion.
