    Thunder young players (Jackson/Lamb/Jones/Adams) have look solid so far on this young season. Thats a great sign moving forward. Team just needed to get RW back.

    Shaq didn't have post moves. He just bullied his way to the rim every possession.

    Post ups are the least efficient play in basketball. Lopez is probably better at straight post ups than Howard. But, Howard will get you far easier baskets in transition, pick n rolls, putbacks, etc.

    You would be crazy to want Lopez over Dwight Howard.

    Wow, I knew your basketball knowledge was lacking in comparison to baseball but thats a joke. Shaq had PLENTY of post moves. You need to watch some video man.

    Im older than you and I watched Shaq at LSU. Shaq got his baskets on alley oops, put backs, and just feeding in the post when he got position close to the basket. Mainly just a drop step, turn around, and dunk. He didn't have an arsenal of post moves a la the Dream. Didn't have a jumper, didn't have a turnaround fadeway. Had a decent baby hook.

    I watched Shaw at LSU as well but not sure why that matters because he refined his game as he progressed in the pros. Shaq was able to hit a weakside turnaround one handed jumper from 5-8 feet away as well. Nobody has moves like Hakeem had. But Howard wishes he had the footwork and touch that Shaq had.

    I agree — though I think long-twos are least efficient shot in basketball.

    Hm who said LeBron had no help, especially if Wade is healthy?
    When he wasn't healthy, he wasn't doing very much.

    He averaged around 17-21 PPG or so in every round i believe in the playoffs.

    And during the playoffs some people said he has no help.

    I would venture to guess that is a lie since he average less than 16 points per game in the playoffs last year.

    Well then.

    He was pretty good vs the Spurs, same vs the Pacers.

    Even still, hilariously dumb statement, LeBron has the most talented team in the leaue, no help doe.

    Pacers are one of the best defensive teams in the league, maybe the best.

    Very dumb argument.
