Only watched the first quarter so I suppose he really got it together defensively after that then. What I saw was every time he was one on one with an offensive player that player scored as if he was not there at all. If you didn't notice this you need to re-watch the first quarter and watch...

And just what would Okur need defending for? Answer...nothing! One of the greatest good guys you can find.

I absolutely agree with Spinoza. Watched OKC play last night and Kanter in the first quarter alone gave up at least 10 points on defense in the first quarter while scoring four of his own. He just stops nobody when its one on one. He was rebounding terribly well though this is no new flash...

Not been a fan of David Locke in the past. His comments overall and his behavior about Hot Rods passing ( not to mention he admitted he was wrong about Enes previous to this situation- Who admits they are wrong about anything anymore?) have left me with a different view of David than I had...

I like the current knick-names for Rudy just fine, so naturally I must submit one of my own. Rudy reminds me of nothing more than a Spider. So I call him Les Araignee (AH-Ron-Yay)

Knock, Knock, Who's there? Seriously?

green- Simply cannot accept this as fact even though many are saying it. Many slender body type players go to the rack with impunity. Strength/size only comes into the equation when you are getting big contact and then it's far from the only factor involved in finishing. Case in point- Kevin...

stitches-As I said his defense is not a concern. His offense is! You are probably correct about the public perception being improved if his struggles were reversed but that is not why I posted about this situation. Can anyone shed any light on why Dante is not trying to make offensive plays...

Yeah, that's what I said!

I know that I was the first to bring up Delon Wright on this forum. And I must say my comments were met with absolute indifference. At this point I don't see Delon or Haws as being real good as pro players. Although trying to figure who's college game would be successful as a pro is a very...

I did not vote as no category seems to fit what I think. What I think is that the young man in question is a complete enigma. You can see the talent he has (not very worried about his form, shooting ability). But I cannot think of any NBA rookie or any player for that matter who offensively...

And I am guessing this is not so. Have been in Turkey and talked to a few of the Turkish citizens in Ankara and Istanbul. They barely were aware of basketball and were completely into Futbol. Never been around Australians (here or There) but reports seem to indicate basketball is fairly...

Love it veji1. I also have trouble distinguishing when people are serious or just being funny on this forum. Must be due to our just being serious minded people who are not given to letting our minds wander to the ridiculous thought. On the subject of Mr. Gobert I have no sense of humor...

This thread can be categorized in one appropriate word. DROSS! Please help stamp out dross!

So, then you are saying that "tanker" types are just fans of an absolutely awful franchise and say their team is "tanking" as a way of justifying being a fan of that team? Kind of like a synonym for re-building? Many of you certainly do believe that tanking teams are actually trying to...

Really! I get really weary of "Tank for player X" If you will all just re-read or remember all the posts about "tank for this guy, or tank for that guy" and realize that you were all wrong. Tanking is a state of mind that exists in the minds of average fans who are without any real talent for...

There should not be anyone? I will state that I believe he will eventually be very good at up to 15-17 ft. out. With the ability to stick the occasional three. Right now they don't even attempt to guard him out there. Being really tall does not preclude learning to be a good jump shooter...

REALLY!! I think the best player I ever saw at RMR was named Malone.

You just gotta be kidding me tony! I don't need any crystal balls or inside connections to tell you what any NBA talent evaluator would say about this. It would be something akin to " are you out of your mind ?". Both have enough NBA history to evaluate well. Perceived talent aside, and in...

Sometimes (frequently, in fact) he goes "invisible" for the better part of a half a game. Max, great or any other term you would care to list, players, do not do that! Has he improved? Unquestionably! Has he become the complete player and leader that we need him to be? Not in my book...
