Let's be real here. His D has been poor, and his O has been awful. In the playoffs he has 11 fouls (many of the "WTF was he thinking" variety) and 4 steals. He's shooting 13% from the field. He played well defensively in game 1 (as good as you can going scoreless in 20 minutes on 0-for-3 shooting), and has been terrible in the next 4.

Let's not confuse an aggressive defensive stance as good defense.

My thread would have probably read "Turning Point: Chauncey's 4th foul", but I agree that Flip doesn't have any kind of sense for when to make adjustments. Whether it's Dice/Webber allowing a Chicago layup line at the end of the 1st quarter (No Max, Dale to protect the paint?), or the game slipping out of control with Chauncey ridding the pine (what good are those 2 fouls when you're down 25 mid-way through the 4th?).
