Williams got the Marion treatment during the second half and finished with just 12 points, his second-lowest output of the month. Sixers guard and second-leading scorer Jrue Holiday, shadowed by the 6-foot-7 Marion for a good chunk of Friday's game, finished 0-of-9 from the floor, the only time this season he didn't make a bucket.
The run has gone from Rubio to Chris Paul to Lawson to Holiday. Those four combined for 11 turnovers and eight field goals, and shot a combined 21.6 percent.
Most of Paul’s 16 points and nine assists came when he wasn’t being guarded by Marion. In the final 5:13, Marion held Paul to one bucket -- a falling-away 3-pointer with 17 seconds remaining -- and one assist.
Marion also created two critical turnovers in the final two minutes as a help defender. He played the passing lanes perfectly to pick off a Blake Griffin pass and swiped the ball from Kenyon Martin as he slashed to the hoop.
Jaren geleden in de play-offs verdedigde hij Lamar Odom, toen de 2e man van de Lakers, en pretty much shut him down. Tegen Durant afgelopen PO's was hij fantastisch.
Kijk, ik vind Deng ook een fantastische verdediger en hij moet net als Iggy 1st team all defense maken. Maar Marion kan meer posities verdedigen en is sneller op z'n voeten. Iggy en Deng kunnen alleen 2 en 3 verdedigen, Marion ook nog 1 en 4.
Marion doet zo ontzettend veel intangibles. Loose balls, helpside, rebounds, missed assignments van teamgenoten.
Only the strong survive
