Who was the big they signed in the offseason?

Ed Davis. That's it. I like him too. And Jordan Hill is decent.

I could buy that Davis is an asset. Hill is like a 9th guy off of a bad bench.

How much better,if any, is Ariza than Pierce?

Offensively, not much.

Defensively, a whole lot.

He played a very good game. Let's see him do something in the playoffs and then we can talk.

Wasn't Harden a big reason why you guys beat San Antonio?

Making it out of the 1st round would be a start.

The sooner the Thunder realize that Watiers is a complete negative the better. He better not get burn in the playoffs if the Thunder get there.

He was tremendous in the 2012 WCF. Harden is incredible. There is no sense in denying it any more.

Think Niners is talking about as the man/1st option.

Yes, he was as was alot of other players.

He made it to the finals

 

[Heyward]

Thunder too banged up, another loss.

 

[Heyward]

He made it to the finals

I'm talking about as the 1st option.

If they dont make it out of the 1st round again, will you give him some grief?

 

[gilesfan]

Have the Wizards replaced Ariza?

Yes. Pearce has been as good or better and Ariza had career year last year i believe

Kanter looking smooth guarding Ed Davis.

Needs work on that end for sure.

You believe wrong.

 

[Heyward]

Ariza last year- 14.4 PPG, 40% from 3, 45% FG percentage, 6.2 RPG, 2.5. APG with very good defense.

Pierce this year- 12.6 PPG, 38% from 3, 45% FG percentage, 4.2 RPG, 2.0 APG with ok defense.

Let me know when u want to post meaningful analytics.

Give me Paul Pierce over Trevor Ariza any day, and I hate Paul Pierce.

Also, sad for Anthony Davis that the injuries and his terrible team will probably keep him out of the MVP race. I think an easy argument can be made that he is the most important player in the league.

Bob weighs in:

Give it time. RT @royceyoung: D.J. Augustin is really good.

@haralabob: Happiest guy since the trade deadline has to be Gobert, no longer has to guard the 4 and the 5 simultaneously.
