Pietrus Is a Helpside Defending Beast
FanHouse —
Filed under: Warriors, NBA Videos, NBA Last Night, Oakland I've never really thought of Mickael Pietrus as a defensive stopper, but for a couple of minutes on Tuesday that's exactly what he was. First, there's that phenomenal block on Kevin Martin, but to truly appreciate it you need to realize a) this was his first game back after sitting nine games with an ailing groin (as Stephen Jackson would say, he finally sucked it up and played through it); and b) it was actually his second rejection in the span of roughly two minutes. Check out ...

Warning: the videos you're about to see display the Golden State Warriors playing superior defense. It's not your eyes. This actually happened.

We all knew the ending was going to come, it was just a matter of when and with whom. Mickael Pietrus is no longer a Warrior, he is a Magic. I don't know why, but "he is a magic" just cracks me up. Maybe it's because I imagine my Chinese grandma saying it. But I digress. Mickael Pietrus aka MP2 aka LL Cool P aka Air France is gone. All that athleticism is gone. All of his man defense is gone. All of his 3pt shooting is gone.
In Pietrus, 26, Orlando sees a lockdown defender and proven scorer. He averaged a career-best 11 points and started half the season for the Warriors in 2006-07 but fell out of Golden State coach Don ...
