Offensive player asks for a pick = smart
Defensive player switches pick = scared/ducking
I’m just asking for consistency

Last sentence is a bit crazy given the composition of their team. Multiple elite defenders surrounding him, as well as elite offense to go along with what Steve brings to the table on that side.
Steve does at least try defensively though, which is more than can be said about other guards.

I’m not listening to anything any team with Paul George speaking
the better team won. It’s not an effort thing when the other team is better than you.

You see an easy schedule the Mavs see rest days for KP and Luka, therefore removing the advantage of an easy schedule.
Really need to get out of the play in tournament by any means

This is all any of us can ask for but it's tough when you have people arguing for the same side using different logic. This whole "scared/ducking" concept is being brought up simply as a justification to drag a player that one may not like. Whatever puts your team in the best position to win is the smart move.
"Man, they lost that game and he got torched but he's a dawg and didn't switch through those screens so I'm not even mad because he played with max effort." - Said no one ever.

The warriors had amazing defensive schemes centered around a perennial DPOY candidate and 2 other great individual defenders. Why ignore all that to have Steph play defense on Kawhi or Lebron to prove a point?

Most of the scared/ducking **** in this thread is jokes - you know this.
Anyone that actually thinks switching screens is ducking is brain dead. It's your only option most of the time as the league stands today.
Wanna bet Luka sits against Houston tomorrow?
As it stands, I'd be fine sitting at 7, washing Memphis in the play-in, then drawing Phoenix in R1. Totally fine.

You could argue Rudy Gobert is as good as a defender as Mutumbo. And he’s getting played off the floor and “hunted” in playoff time.

Ironically enough I want rest for the roster so I don't want the play in.
Rick has been running a playoff rotation for 2 months now and Luka and KP ain't the only dudes who need a break.

I'll never forget Roy Hibbert's hall of fame level verticality. I also wish more bigs did the Tyson Chandler tip out.
Rudy can learn a thing or two to not get hunted in the playoffs.

MJ needs to guard Magic Johnson, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone, John Stockton or Charles Barkley! He’s “ducking”!
