It may be funny to literally put your hand in someone's face, but the old cover the eyes trick doesn't work well when your team's trailing in the playoffs.

      Curious - How many people 'faceguard' on a regular basis?

        I think he meant "accidentally" poking someone in the eye when playing defense.

PISTON HIGHLIGHTS AND REACTIONS
The World of Isaac — Had to feel good if you're a Piston fan to steal one in Boston. Especially since Boston can't beat anybody on the road. And if you would have told me that Ray Allen finally found his shot and the Big 3(god I hate that nickname) went off for 75, I would have said the Pistons got smoked. ...

Rajon Rondo's "In Your Face" Defense
FanIQ Blog — Boston did a few things well last night: the Big Three combined for 75 points, shot close to 50% as a team and outrebounded Detroit. What they did not do well was play their customary, tight, in your face defense. Wait, I take that back, they did play a little 'in your face' defense.

sportsyenta.blogspot.com 5/23/2008 — Boston 97, Cleveland 92: Yeah, yeah it was a great display of offensive prowess by both Paul Pierce (41 points) and LeBron James (45 points). And it was a truly great game . But we all know this is the exception to the rule in the Eastern Conference. That's why I, for one, am not looking forward to the Boston-Detroit matchup in the Conference Finals. I can only take so many 85-81 games ...
