This has nothing to do with the offensive limitations, because Green and Iwundu were arguably better defensively than any of the missing guys.
I've been saying it from the first (highly successful) game of them being the starting pair. Don't get too comfortable with this. It won't last. Willie's instinct and BBIQ are a mile behind his athleticism. There is a reason Dallas waited to sign Willie until after their effort to get Gasol failed.
