Barkley just said he'd take Klay over Harden.

I'm happy for you and niners. You have Barkley in your corner.

I don't think Barkley considers Harden a shooting guard. He said Harden ws the MVP. No way he thinks Klay is better.

In what context bc Sir Charles also doesnt believe in stats

He believes in defense also.

 

[gilesfan]

He believes in defense also.

So he started believing after he retired?

RW with a Kobe like 12/37 shooting day.

For a severely undersized power forward Barkley was a pretty awesome defender.

Bob Voulgaris on Kanter

@haralabob: I mean, he has a lot of negatives, but being a human pylon on D seems to be his biggest.

Heyward, Thoughts?

I mean, it's kinda true, with all their injuries, he's more of a playmaking guard/combo guard than a "SG"

 

[Heyward]

Didnt see the game but always seems Phx makes a ton of crazy shots when they play.

Bad game from Russ from a shooting standpoint.

 

[yeezus]

Cavs are gonna run thru the East.
Unless Melo comes back and the Knicks stop them.

Lmao.

Certainly the favorites but I wouldn't sleep on Atl especially since they'll have HCA.

I got to watch last night. Kanter is a lot like Brook Lopez, can finish and move on offense. But, his defense is pathetic. he moves well on offense, but plays defense with his feet in cement. I don't buy the excuse that they have Ibaka to back him up because A) teams can spread them out B) Ibaka offered little resistance either last night. Bledsoe blew by Kanter at will.

It's hard to judge McGeary bc he looks completely lost out there so maybe he just hasn't played enough. Looked slow and defense was as bad as Kanter.

So, did Barkley say "Klay is better than Harden?"

 

[gilesfan]

You realize that Westbrooks numbers are much better when Durant doesn't play right?

They are 2-7 vs. over .500 teams without Durant.

He said he's the best SG in basketball, whether that means he's better than Harden I don't know.

So if he didn't consider Harden a shooting guard, you are full of ****?

 

[Heyward]

They didn't get Kanter for his defense, they got him for his low post scoring.

His defense was better the first 3 games didn't catch last night but twitter people say he was bad.

Obviously he's not a great defender.
