Just watched the rockets warriors game. Thought the warriors were getting screwed by the refs all game. Post Orlando Dwight is invisible even if he has a good stat night. Warriors simply didn't hit enough 3s for them

at the refs screwing the Warriors all night. Besides Howard's non-goaltend goaltend, he had 2 silly fouls put on him, and Curry committed silly fouls he could've avoided. They screwed themselves

Just go back and watch Howard vs Bogut all night and tell me who got the benefit of the calls lol

 

[duba169]

I don't care about either of these teams. That's how I saw it.

And there was a terrible tech Zarba called. Plus the trash flagrant

 

[JD617]

Kevin Love hit 8 of 9 threes last night? Wow.

 

[100027]

don't know what you're getting at

? I'm not getting at anything, those are really good stats.

 

[awwsome]

Love heard all the "LMA is the best PF in the game" talk

BALLERS, I put numbers on the boards

 

[duba169]

Does LMA play good defense? I ask because I've like never watched a blazers game post jail era that wasn't againt the Knicks.

 

[lawdog1]

I'd say Aldridge's defense is ok. Not a strength. He may be better defensively than Love and Griffin, but not by much.

 

[pmatic]

I'd say Aldridge is a solid defender.

Definitely better than Griffin and Love.

 

[awwsome]

LMA was 5th in opp FG% in one on one situations over the last two years, he's a better defender than people think. Better than Love that's for sure.

Terrible defense on that Monta game winner from last week though

 

[dman14]

how many good defenders are there in the nba? i know there's team defense and all but how many guys can actually lock guys down for the most part? we always say x player is good but cant defend.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I'd say Aldridge is a solid defender.

Definitely better than Griffin and Love.

Being better at defense than those two isn't saying anything.

I'd like to hear the definition for solid

All three are about the same level defensively

 

[awwsome]

Well he also held opponents to a lower fg% than Dwight, Noah and Marc Gasol who are all held in esteem for their defense, he's definitely not on Blake/Love level.

 

[champcruthik]

Dolan's rumored to approve the Lowry trade if NYK loses to the Hawks tonight.

Sixers about to upset the Blazers tonight. Leggo.

Interesting

Taking with a grain of salt since I see kostas koufous on the list

 

[awwsome]

true, but remember he goes up against mostly bench guys and doesn't play the same amount of possessions as LMA so that's not a good indicator for him

Agreed. Also I saw the shots faced by each guy, there's a huge range there

 

[urbetterthenme]

NY needs a rondo. Not any rondo, but The Rondo

 

[champcruthik]

Dolan lacks the pieces or picks for Rondo.
