Its eaiser to defense that than defense someone like Gasol/Randolph. Jordan was well below his season averages.

What? It's easier to defend an athletic freak than a dude who stands and shoots jumpers? LOLWUT

What about Randolphs post game?

What about the fact that Gasol can facilitate an offense as a point man.

BUT WAIT, JORDAN CAN JUMP REALLY HIGH AND CATCH THE BALL!

thethe seems to think 14 foot jumpers count more than dunks.

Its aboutt he ability to defend what they do.

And it's easy to defend an athletic freak like Jordan?

Is it harder to defend Jamal Crawford or Ray Allen?

Depends on the offense you are running.

[ESP47]

I'd take Randolph/Gasol offensively.

They are individually more talented offensively.

Jordan's game is mainly based off of Chris Paul. Griffin gets a lot of help having Paul there but he's the best player of the bunch.

Swap Paul with Conley and Jordan's game dies while Griffin's takes a slight hit.

Harder to defend Russ since he cant shoot or Tony Parker?

Thats not even close to a valid comparison. Westbrook is incredibly skilled offensively. Westbrook is the third hardest cover in the league.

Why? He can't shoot outside at all.

Or Ray Allen, who can only shoot outside, is he easy to guard?

[Heyward]

Of course you would take Blake/Jordan offensively and defensively.

Jordan has no post game and cant hit FT's.

He pretty much can only do putbacks, lobs.

His offensive game is very raw, Blake is a beast though.

[Heyward]

At times. At other he was awful...throwing up long 3s at the worst times (including the weak foul call on Paul). He was more concerned with taking Paul one on one than helping Durant and others get involved.

Durant is on fire and begging for the ball and Westbrook would still refuse to give it up.

Game 5, KD couldnt hit water if it fell out of a boat.

There are TIMES where KD is off and Russ needs to be aggressive and score. Look at Game 6, Russ wasnt having his best game offensively, and he fed KD.

Unfortunately he has some bad Russ/hero ball games that make you say WTF.

LOL, Russ isnt great from 3, at times he catches fire.

But his pull-up midrange jumper is money and he's impossible to stop at the rim.

Cant shoot, you meant John Wall

It's not hard to guard him since he doesnt have many post moves and cant do much but dunk. But the offense/system he's in helps him out greatly.

What??? So if you take away the best PG in the game, the other players will get worse???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY

Russ's jumper is terrible. Go look at the numbers, John Wall was a far superior shooter this year. Far.

Are you talking from 3 or in general?

He takes too many 3-pt shots, he needs to post up, attack the rim more instead of shooting long 3's.

He has one of the best pull-up/midrange jumpers in the NBA, lol.

This makes no sense....why the **** does it matter how Jordan and Dwight score? They are athletic freaks....if you can't stop DJ from dunking, you know what? That **** still counts the same as a 15 foot jumper.

Wait a minute here, so you're saying a dunk and a 15 foot jumper both score the same amount of points? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY!!!!!!!!

Ibaka out for rest of playoffs
