[Heyward]

Again....they are better defensively when Thabo isn't on the court. Thabo has sucked this year.

I dont disagree but they arent THIS bad on D with him.

Awful game from Russ though.

 

[Heyward]

Lol off excuses. But butthey are mossing some crappy player!

They're missing a good defender, which they need.

They should of won without him, but its the truth.

OKC is giving up 10.5 MADE threes a game with RW. Good luck vs Houston

 

[thethe]

Embarrassing game and effort.

Horrible game from RW today. Playing in LA is never good for him. He will do better when the playoofs come around.

RW isnt selfish. Just heaves up a 3 when its crunch time.

First time he has been since he came back, awful game from him though.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

So frustrating the Hawks are awful, but Detroit, Cleveland, and New York are worse. Will someone please take the 8th seed from the Hawks.

Were the Raptors a good team for the Nets?

That should be an entertaining opening round playoff series if it happens.

 

[gilesfan]

No, the Rapters are not a good team. They wouldn't even be in the playoff chase in the West.

 

[thethe]

Well, they are the third best team in the East (maybe Wiz/Chi are the third). So regardless of what conference you are in as long as you beat the teams in front of you then you're good.

 

[BRule]

Hey, remember when Heyward listed all those centers that were better than Dwight? Good times

 

[thethe]

I still think Gasol (Marc) is the best center in the nba.

Guess you haven't watched a HEALTHY Dwight Howard this year.

 

[thethe]

Guess you haven't watched a HEALTHY Dwight Howard this year.

I've watched about 5 games for the Rockets this year. Not a large enough sample size to really determine just how much better he is playing. The Rockets are happy with him for usre.

 

[BRule]

This year it's either Howard or Cousins.....and since only 1 is a playoff team, it's gotta be Dwight.

 

[thethe]

I may underrate Howard a bunch but I think you do the same with Gasol.

 

[BRule]

Gasol is very good but he isn't even a top 5 center this year:

Boogie, Dwight, Andre, Al Jeff!!! and Pekovic are the top 5....not sure you can argue anyone else.

I don't think stats do well to show Gasols impact. Other than Boogie he is the best offensive center in the NBA because of how diverse he is. He is also a damn good defensive center as well.

 

[BRule]

You should really see what Al Jeff and Pek are doing and rethink the offensive statement again.

Jefferson is up there for sure. Pek is just a bruiser who has solid post moves. He can't go 17 feet out and be a point man to run an offense through.

Noah should be up there as well but he has issues scoring.
