I don't get why people are so down in Dinwiddie. He's been playing very well to me. Stats are going to be inconsistent when you're playing the 6th man role. Poole wasn't really able to get much going last game: better focused defense on his drives, some foul trouble, game script etc after a dominating 1st 2. Dinwiddie came in at the trade deadline and picked up this team's scheme pretty well in a few months all things considered.
He's back to regular season form after a tough 1st 2 matchups by blowing by and finishing over a weaker big like Looney. Not sure why it took this long, maybe some carryover from the previous 2 series where his drive wasn't as effective. Ok so with playoff intensity/scouting where the other team sags way off of him and has the best rim protector in the entire world, he's not as efficient as he normally is on drives. He's hitting 3s very well which he needs to do if they sag off so much, and still serves his ball handler role. I don't think you can get rid of Dinwiddie unless there's a 3rd playmaker brought in to replace that role.
