Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 2212154, member: 652"] DJ was better against bigger PGs like Magic and bigger SGs like Andrew Toney. The Celtics acquired Johnson specifically to beat Philadelphia and stop Andrew Toney who abused them in 1980 thru 1983. He wouldn't have been able to stay in front of these quick PGs of today. Isiah abused DJ. It was why Detroit eventually overtook Boston beyond age the Celtics didn't have speed in the backcourt. DJ was hella good. Just not a quick lateral defender. He was probably the best guard in the 80s to defend Magic though. [/QUOTE]
