Favors and Kanter need to switch positions

How do you mean? If a guy is the designated center, are there only things that center can or cannot do? What would those be? How does it matter if Kanter is called the center or Favors is called the center?
 
The problem is that on D, Favors positioning doesn't allow him to cover both sides of the floor as easily... Oh well, we all know that, but Corbin's a puss.

OK. I'm slow I guess. Was that ban aimed at me? :confused:

(Not that I would mind tangling with her; in fact, I may threaten to ban someone in every thread from here on out!)

Who steps away for the shot leaving the other down low, one-on-one?
Who holds off the opposing scorer while the other gets in help position?

They are just switching positions... not touching helmets.

A wise man once said that touching helmets is when it becomes "homo"

Are you suggesting that Favors should guard Robin Lopez while Kanter guards LMA? Given how much pick and roll and post-ups the Blazers run with LMA, that seems kinda stupid.

Fair point! How many teams are running pick sets via their PF primarily in the West? Only Dallas, New Orleans, T-Wolves and Clippers come to my mind.

What matters is that Favors should take the guy on the low block as often as possible to decrease opp FG% inside 10 feet.

I think there's positions on your team offensive plays. You gotta know where you're supposed to be.
But on defense you should simply know team defense concepts your team wants you to execute. And depending on opponents lineups you can have 2 guys on the low blocks or one operating from the high post. And the way teams swing over the ball you gotta be capable of playing everywhere.
Only thing I WANT is that Favors risks getting def 3 sec violations on every play to make opponents take floaters, mid range pullups, 3 pointer as often as possible to take away easy buckets. All of those contested of course ;) YES I'M TALKING TO YOU RICHARD JEFFERSON. BEING 33 IS NO EXCUSE TO SLACK ON DEFENSE!

And they are completely restricted from doing one or the other just based on having a position title of center or power forward????????? Really?
 
I think that Kanter is so much worse on Pick and Roll D than Favors. And the difference in Post D isn't as bad. So Favors should take the biggest Pick and Roll threat most nights.
 
Good hell. I can't believe this is getting any burn at all. Kanter finally gets comfortable on the left block and you want to throw him on the right instead? Or is it that if you think they switch the guy they're guarding then the opponents won't just reverse the way their bigs attack as well?

So you don't believe in making players well-rounded? Thank God you're not the coach.
