Hmm it could work and it could backfire for Phoenix all though their thin bench has already gotten thinner with this trade it was so obvious against the Lakers and thats going to be a big problem they made a huge mistake in trading Marion for a washed up Shaq now they have traded Bell and Diaw who have not exactly been playing too good for them especially Bell but the good side is they get loads of offense from Richardson and someone who could control traffic in the absence of Nash

As for the Bobcats they have gotten better on defense and they have gotten more bodies too but they have lost lots of offense in Richardson and things would get a little worse before they get better for them

All in all i think looking at it in the long term Charlotte just might be getting a better deal because their roster gets a little deeper

Carmelo dropped 33 in one quarter albeit against the T/Wolves

I can only remember Mutombo, Iverson, Mckie and Snow. Can't remember the other members in their rotation.
And they beat a pretty good Bucks team of Allen, Cassell and Big Dog. An offensive beast at the time.

Wade WTF. . . . that sixers team were no offensive slouches.

I am not too sure but i bet they averaged close to 100 pts a game that season
to go with their staunch defense.

Pay them haters no mind what matters is we are through to the knockout phase where you finish counts for squat and the sooner you face the big boys the better!!all attention should be firmly fixed on the Boro game lets not dwell too much on this game all though it was plain to see how shambolic our midfield would be without Cesc this team has no depth lets be honest with ourselves why won't these fans boo these players?If we needed more proof of Bendtner,Silvestre and Eboue's uselessness we got it tonight even Gallas was shyte infact if AW does not buy players January then he needs to see a shrink this team is painfully and annoyingly not good enough.QED

[quote author=Thugs_R_Us link=topic=148652.msg3205969#msg3205969 date=1228923349][b]Why are you putting words in my mouth? I never claimed they were "offensive juggernauts" as you put it. Show me in my posts where I referred to LeBrons cast as such. Instead, I claimed they were good serviceable role players on offense w/ great defense & rebounding (their bread & butter) which is 100% fact. Why do you like twisting peoples words?[/quote]So you are a thug now? talk about someone who does not know his identity  grin grin where you not the one that started with the insults? I thought we where having a mature argument till you started the insulting business and even talked down on my grammar when it was obvious your understanding of English was sub-par.The Moral of the Story is be prepared to receive whatever you dish out

I am not putting words in your mouth dumbo i am stating that A.I's supporting cast was better than Lebron's my choice of words where only to spice up the arguments they where good on defense but sucked so much on offense that their defense practically became useless since they could not take advantage of a drop in San Antonio's game

I did not claim the Cavs did not have scorers they actually don't have scorers if your top 3 players can only combine for 44 points in a playoff series where does the offense come from?

http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/stats/2006/nba_finals_stats.html You should make use of that link only Varejao made over .500 in FG's
I honestly do not know where you got your inflated stats from because as you can see Lebron got little or no help from his team-mates who where really not good enough to help anyway
He was the highest in points,assists and 3rd best rebounder from that team what else do you want him to do? run on top of water or walk on thin air?

[quote author=Thugs_R_Us link=topic=148652.msg3205969#msg3205969 date=1228923349]When an argument doesn't go your way, you resort to personal attacks. Very classy of you. They couldn't manage to score more b/c LeBron was busy chucking the team out of the series w/ his brickest. He also commited 5.8 turnovers a game, most in NBA Finals history. Did you ever think of that? Why aren't you addressing the issue? So how you expect his supporting cast to score more is beyond me. When Gibson, Gooden, Big Z & Varejao were given the ball, they shot good percentages. Other than that, LeBron was busy either, shooting his team out of games, or commiting stupid turnovers (traveling, bad pass, charge etc, )[/quote]Man up chump!! you started the insults so stop crying like a baby!If Lebron had a brickfest then the likes of Marshall and Pavlovic had a brickorgy,The Cavs team was so shyte that they had zero-secondary offense no player even made a move to step up their game all through the series do i have to get an anvil and crack open your head for you to get the picture?
Lebron is an under-sized power forward the fact that he handles the rock so often makes him very prone to turn-overs and gives you a clear picture of just how little Lebron had to work with

[quote author=Thugs_R_Us link=topic=148652.msg3205969#msg3205969 date=1228923349]So, you actually believe the Spurs were better than the three peat Lakers?!? (ROFFLES). WOW. And you attacking my knowledge of the game.[/quote]I didn't say better but for you to call them out as a lesser team smacks sheer illiteracy on your part because they have won 4 rings to Lakers 3 they are a legit dynasty take it or leave it
Its like saying the Pats are not a dynasty because they didn't win the Superbowl back to back


[quote author=Thugs_R_Us link=topic=148652.msg3205969#msg3205969 date=1228923349][b]Those 22 points came off mostly either free throws, fast break points, or inefficient jumpers . When you take a ridiculous amount of shots, you are bound to score 22 points in a game. The real question is: Was it an efficient 22 points? I think we already know that answer to that.

And LeBrons teammates not averaging more than 3 assists a game is sheer poppycock. LeBron needs the ball in his hands to be effective, being the primary ball-handler and the defacto point guard. But then, he was busy making stupid decisions w/ the ball and shooting his team out the game. LeBrons mistakes could've in fact turned into assists for his teammates. So, then why do you expect his casts to average more than 3 APG, when LeBron himself is the primary ball-handler? 27% of all of the shots LeBron took throughout the playoffs that year were assisted. Therefore, LeBron isn't a good off-ball player. 

Not to mention that LeBron had one of the worst assist-to-turnover ratio: a better indication of a good passer, than just assists (a real NBA fan would know that). Yeah, LeBron averaged alot of assists in the Finals, but at what cost?

So, there goes your so-called knowledge of the game. LeBron is actually the one that sets the tone on offense and looks to find his cutting man, or an open teammate. Yet another dumb logic by A-40 himself.[/b][/quote]Its amazing how you can talk a lot and make so little sense! Apparently his team-mates where so efficient only two of them could average double figures the entire series Gibson barely made it there
Now tell me why does Lebron have to bear the scoring and ball handling responsibilities if he had better team-mates?I don't even need to be arguing this with you someone that wanted to leave if Cleveland did not trade last year when he got sick of the fact he was surrounded by loafers!! your argument is moronic i still insist that Lebron dragged arguably the most average roster to the NBA Finals in recent history your fancy stats don't count for much

[quote author=Thugs_R_Us link=topic=148652.msg3205969#msg3205969 date=1228923349]Thats not too bright of you. I'm not arguing D12 is better than LeBron, but what comes w/ a dumb logic follows another personal attack about someones knowledge. Hypocrite much?  wink[/quote]You are still not making sense you started the personal attacks and yes Lebron is better than Dwight so is Dirk till Dwight proves otherwise

[quote author=Thugs_R_Us link=topic=148652.msg3205969#msg3205969 date=1228923349]No disrespect, but you are infact delusional if you believe having a good (but not great) starting cast translates to poor depth.

Thats a big IF. He has many more years in the NBA to get to the Finas. Nowitzki didn't get to the Finals until his late 20s. It happens. You can't expect D12 to get to the Finals when he hasn't even sniffed his prime. LeBron couldn't even will his team to the Finals at 22. LeBron did that at 23. D12 just TURNED 23 TWO DAYS AGO.[/quote]If stupidity was legal tender you would be a billionaire! The Magic had a very decent roster both starting and on the bench with a roster arguably more talented than Cleveland's but albeit too light-weight to come good in the playoffs

There is no guarantee that Dwight would make the Finals lets wait and see how long it would take for D12 to sniff his prime! so who are you to judge that Lebron has sniffed his prime? he is only just about to turn 24 and point of correction Lebron was 22 years and six months when he went to the NBA FInals in June 2007

[quote author=Thugs_R_Us link=topic=148652.msg3205969#msg3205969 date=1228923349]DURRRRRR!!

Yes. D12 must will his team to the championship at age 23, b/c LeBron James did it Nice logic.[/quote]I am only trying to tell you to quit ranting like Howard is the best thing since sliced bread and point out in clear and certain terms that he is not yet as good and as such should not be hyped so much what has his ass won since he made the NBA what personal accolade has he garnered? I need some help on this one

One erratic game does not make a player, although I wouldn't expect you to know that. .[/quote]Just tried to let you see that his winning the award is simply not a big deal i think you should enrol in adult classes.Camby is a good defender might not be the best but he is good and D12 is not a legit defender yet get that into your coconut head

How about an erratic series tongue because Dwight was molested all series

[quote author=Thugs_R_Us link=topic=148652.msg3205969#msg3205969 date=1228923349]Please. Enough excuses about your boy. He doesn't bring anything to the table other than his jumpshot. When his jumpshot is flat he is basically useless. He is an OK rebounder (for his height) and a good passer at times (I must admit), but he doesn't impact games as a D12, KG or Duncan. He doesn't anchor defenses, give his team second chance opportunities, etc. Remember, defense is half the game, and Dirk is non-existent. He isn't a force inside, and doesn't have legit post game other than facing up his opponent.

Thanks for the insults. It shows your character in simple debates.
[/quote]Yeah we all acknowledge Dirk has his weak points please show me one player who doesn't he has been successful though and if he gets a ring before he retires then that would be the icing on the cake and even if he doesn't i would name ten amazing players who might never or never did win a ring it takes nothing from his brilliance.A lot of teams would give their left balls for Dirk even at this stage of his career

I guess homecourt or being on the road doesn't apply when the Mavs and the Spurs lock horns because we have actually beaten them in their building this season looking at the Mavs next three games i fancy us picking wins against Charlotte and Oklahoma anything can happen in the Denver game

Aboutrika(Al Ahly). . . . .Adebayor n Eboue(Arsenal). . . . . .In ur deluded world, you said why hasn't Berbatov played for any big club until now if he was good? I went on to say u don't have to play for a big club to be known as a good player. So i cited Aboutrika's example.
U see?? An average GAYnner functions on a single digit(negative integer) IQ!!!! grin grin grin grin
Babu cognitive reasoning. tongue[/quote]I think narrow-minded describes you more accurately i admire your ability to shift the goal post in your arguments but that still doesn't make it less moronic you have failed to explain how Adebayor and Eboue who play for big clubs and have not won anything for big clubs can be compared to Inzaghi who has played for big clubs and actually won stuff with big clubs.Same goes for Abou-Trika who has actually won stuff for small clubs and even country to Berba-dog that is yet to win shyte besides the Milk cup for both club and country
Aboutrika would not be regarded as a good player if he didn't win trophies for club and country so thats another flaw in your weak argument

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=196592.msg3205615#msg3205615 date=1228919883]David Healy has a better goal ratio for country(not for CLUB). . . . . . .Inzaghi has a better goal ratio for club(AC Milan) not for country.
Berbatov has a balance. . . . . .Proliic for country and not bad for club(considering he does not even play for any of the BIG 4) until this season.
What else do u want? He made Tottenham tick . . . . . . .Without him, i doubt Tottenham woulda won the Carling cup.
I still remember his exploits when they dismantled Wenger's team 5-1 last season.[/quote]You obviously don't have a point and you enjoy arguing blindly for the heck of it with strikers like Totti,Christian Vieri,Del Piero and the likes common sense should tell you that his goal ratio would not be as high as Berba or David Healy who obviously do not have such quality in their sides is that too difficult for your feeble mind to grasp?

You should retract your statement i think the average Scumtwat functions on a sub-zero IQ so do you want to judge Berbatov's exploit on one game? why not judge him when we beat them home and away in the Prem and when we knocked them out of the Carling Cup in the previous season why not judge him when we flogged them 3-0 at the Emirates?

I would only be comfortable about facing Barca when we sort out our defensive frailties but i agree we do tend to bring it when we face the big boys.As for Maureen's Inter we would beat them easily he lacks the personnel he had at Chelsea and its painfully obvious

Leaving our two strikers back home is a good move in my opinion as the worst case scenario is we finish second and these days that counts for very little in the knockout phase we would need Adebayor and RVP more at the Riverside and they have to be at their sharpest because we need maximum points at Boro so we can be high on confidence when the Scousers come to visit the Emirates

In yet another blind goof and dumb comparison you compare Adebayor and Eboue who have won nothing at Arsenal to Aboutrika who has won the CAF Champions League and African Nations Cup please how does that work in the case of Berbatov and Inzaghi knowing fully well that Pippo has won two UCL's and a World Cup as compared to your Berba-dog who has won precious little.Myopic comparisons are a sport for you

Did you skip Maths class? 57 appearances in 11 years is about 5 games per year so how is 2 goals per year in 5 appearances a bad ratio knowing fully well that Pippo would probably have to deal with stronger opposition

Inzaghi is the highest goal scorer in all UEFA Competitions whether UCL or Uefa Cup they all count i think you are just drunk off some hatorade juice because you know fully well that Berba would never be as great as Inzaghi for club or country

[b]Sixers had a better roster? Really? What a waste of my keystroke proving a dumb arguement.

The Sixers team that year featured Aaron McKie, Dikembe Mutombo, Theo Ratliff, Eric Snow, Tyrone Hill, Vernon Maxwell, Toni Kukoc & Nazr Muhammed They were all solid contributers in the past and only Mutombo, Snow & McKie were defensive specialists that were at the short end of their prime. Everyone else on that roster were either inexperienced, or past their prime. ALL of Iversons supporting cast were no more than role players and there was no such things as a second option. The offense was basically: Hand Iverson the rock and move the f*** out the way, basically similiar to the Cavs offense last season. LeBron at least had big Z to feed the ball to down low. None of the Sizer low post bigs were known for their offense. They still managed to make the Finals due to great defense & rebounding (that was their specialty, and still managed to take a game from one of the greatest dynasties of all time. LeBron couldn't even will a win from a lesser team.

But LeBrons supporting cast was better. He had Pavlocic, Damon Jones, Daniel Gibson, Donyell Marshall & Ira Newble who were all 3-PT specialists back in the 2006-07 season. LeBron had better shooters on his team. The only respectable outside shooter the Sixers had that year was Vernon Maxwell & Aaron McKie, and they didn't shoot all that well during the season. In fact, they shot worse %s than 6 Cavaliers players comparing the roster

And Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden & Big Z were better than anyone on that Sixers roster.

Not to mention the Sixers were the fifth highest defensive rated team in the league in 2001. LeBrons 2007 team was fourth.

So, no, Iverson roster was certainly not better. Any knowledgable basketball fan would laugh at you for making such a pathetic statement.[/b]
Listen fool you don't want to go the insult route with me trust me on that one! Now as per our argument what stats do you have to back your claim that Donyell Marshal and Ira Newble who saw little or no minutes in that final and Daniel Gibson who was a rookie that only made the spot-light in the Detroit series where offensive juggernauts?what had the likes of Drew Gooden,Larry Hughes and Big Z achieved before coming to the Cavs?.Would you compare A.I of 01 to Lebron of 07? Basketball is not your forte you should try shadow-boxing did you see the combined stats of the entire team outside Lebron? I am sure your moronic self did not know that only Gooden and Gibson where able to manage double digits in the entire roster throughout that series (12.8 and 10.0 pts per game) so much for your better supporting cast theory you would make a good clown at the Ringling Brother's Circus

If you are not stupid you would not call the Spurs a lesser team because they won all 4 Finals they featured in but then its you so i guess stupidity comes natural

WadeFTW:
LeBron was shutdown b/c he couldn't shoot the ball. The Spurs took his greatest strength away from him, which was penetrating by clogging the lane. Don't even come w/ that bull b/c LeBron had at least 5 guys on the team that shot the ball well from behind the arc. It was just that LeBron was reckless w/ the ball and couldn't find open teammates. Moreover, LeBron couldn't hit a jumpshot to save his life and that what ended up hurting the team. Not to mention that LeBron averaged almost 6 turnovers and had one of the worst Finals performances of all time. The Spurs took advantage of the reckless turnovers and long bricks by LeBron and started fastbreaks, b/c if you had any pint of knowledge about the game, you'd know that most long missed jumpshots usually begin fastbreaks at the other end, and LeBron was having a brickfest.
Lebron had an awful Series but could still manage 22 pts per game i have seen better so-called star players with worse stats Kobe had a stinker against the Celts last season and he had an obviously better team.Let me kick some facts for you it would interest you to know that Lebron's team mates where so shyte that none of them where able to provide up to 3 assists per game Lebron provided almost 7  so much for your moronic argument about Lebron not finding open team mates it is painfully obvious you didn't watch that series because i cannot count how many times Cleveland went for minutes on end without being able to make a basket.They where missing free-throws,wide open jumpers and sometimes the ball simply refused to go into the rim.He was surrounded by whack players even experienced NBA analysts would tell you that

WadeFTW:
That is an exception. The SPURS had BOTH. However, having a superstar w/ a great defensive SP around you is way better than having a superstar w/ a great offensive SP around you, and I stand corrected (esp. if you're a perimeter player which LeBron is).
So we partially agree on something  shocked shocked

WadeFTW:
Why are you comparing LeBron to D12? Did I ever compare LeBron to D12. Show me in my post were I did, besides comparing their depth (not head-to-head like you are implying). You obviously have an infatuation w/ not having comprehension skills. I said the Cavs had a better depth, which means the whole roster, not just the starters. Quick to jump the gun, as always.
I saw you talking rubbish about Lebron so i decided to compare him to your over-hyped element which was Dwight Howard.I might have problems with just comprehension skills but you have no skills at all
The Cavs starters as at last season or two seasons ago where barely good enough not to talk of the bench it is obvious you need a dictionary to read and step up your Vocab as the meaning of depth seems to be lost on you

WadeFTW:
And why does D12 have to deliver in the postseason for you to be a believe. Not every superstar can lead win a championship. Not even LeBron (yet). There is some holes in Howards game (not disputing that), but what makes him more effective than Dirk is that he plays more of a big mans game. You have a better chance of winning a championship w/ a low post big like D12 than a jumpshooting big like Dirk. And history AGREES w/ me.[/b]
Because thats what great players do who would mention Dwight Howard's name in 20 years time if he cannot lead Orlando to their First NBA title?Its obvious you are still a new jack in the game the playoffs are the only thing that matters if you didn't know that by now then its obvious you are a basketball novice.Lebron dragged an unfancied Cleveland team to the NBA Finals,Dirk came within two games of winning it!! Dwight is yet to do that and inasmuch as i am not saying he would never do it he has to show me proof before i believe his hype what is so hard in that for you to understand?

WadeFTW:
I cringe anytime I read the grammatical errors on your post. It's like eating paste off the wall. LMAO at bringing Cambys name up. Camby is an overrated defender! Most of his defense consists of weakside blocks and usually get overpowered by his man as he's not a good man defender. Thats why Camby doesn't perform as well, b/c he isn't nearly good as advertised. D12 on the other hand, is a good man defender who can also help out on the low block/weak side and alter shots. Please watch the games. You'll sound inferior in debates.
You are a spastic slowpoke i brought those names up so you could stop ranting and raving about Dwight Howard being in the running for Defensive Player of the year just so you know that some average players have won it too besides who does not know that Marcus Camby mainly relies on blocks and rebounding  tongue

WadeFTW:
[b]WOW, your grammar really needs work. What school did you attend? (LOL) I would have to file a lawsuit against the legimacy of the curriculum. D12 is a pansy on offense that averages over 21 points a game. Tell me how is he a pansy on offense. Yes, he isn't as skilled as Dirk, but he is more dominant (like a poor mans Shaq w/ minimal post moves, albeit still crazy dominant). When he gets the ball in the paint, he is so difficult to defend b/c not only is he strong, but insanely athletic, and you cannot help, but foul him when he goes up strong for a dunk, a hook, scoop shot, etc,
He was so athletic yet he was beat up and and out-muscled like a wuss by a much smaller defender in Maxiell in last season's conference semi's i would only reckon with him when he brings his athleticism to the playoffs

WadeFTW:
LOL! If you adjust the the minutes into equal platform, you'll notice that Dirk doesn't even crack the top 10. In other words, Dirk is only fourth in defensive rebounds b/c he sees more minutes than your average everyday big
He stays out of foul trouble and rarely needs a rest add that to the fact that he is usually effective for much of the game how would he not get more minutes?

WadeFTW:
Again, regarding LeBrons supporting cast. That team was one of the best defensive and rebounding teams in the league. It just shows how much more a great rebounding and defense is important. Allen Iverson took a similiar team to the Finals in 2001, so what exactly is your point? As a matter of fact: Iverson team actually won a game in the Finals, unlike LeBrons team. This, again, is yet another example of defense + rebounding is more pivitol to a teams success than offense

A superstar w/ defensive and rebounding oriented supporting cast & little offense >>>>> A superstar w/ offensive oriented supporting cast & little defense
A.I's Sixers had homecourt advantage sef and a better roster they where the best team in the East that season comparing them to underdogs like the Cavs says a lot about your basketball knowledge
Besides don't you get simple english Mr Man their rebounding and defensive stats where inconsequential because they had no offense Lebron was shut down for most of the Series and no one else stepped up even the so-called fantastic defensive and rebounding team became useless because they could not take advantage of turnover's from San Antonio they had arguably the worst points average in NBA Finals history
Every other thing you are speaking is just grammar even a superstar with a good defensive and rebounding oriented supporting cast equally needs an offense in equal measure the Spurs always get hyped about their defense but with players like Parker and Ginobili the offensive side to their game is grossly under-rated 

WadeFTW:
[b]Lets not forget that D12 was 22 years old then and has yet to reach his prime. LeBron supporting cast was deeper than D12s last year, although I'm not saying that D12 is the better player. But I wasn't comparing D12 to LeBron anyway. I was comparing him to Dirk, to give a prime example of what I mean by a REAL low post big.

They had a poll on ESPN today asking who would you rather have on the post for the rest of the season, comparing Duncan and D12. A whopping 71% chose D12. Imagine if they'd replaced Duncans name w/ Nowitzki. Thats just how much more lopsided the polls would be. And anyone who would choose Nowitzki over D12 would either be a blind homer or officially be considered dumber than a sack of rocks.

Read my posts carefully. I'm comparing D12 to Nowitzki b/c they virtually play the same position, but their styles are different.

I'm not also disputing the fact that Nowitzki is impactful, rather that a guy ike D12 is 3X more impactful. The defensive disparity is a BIGGGG boost. D12 is the leading DPOY candidate as we speak. He grabbs rebounds like a madman and averages over 4 blocks a game. Oppossing team guards are so afraid to penetrate into the lane b/c of D12s big frame and intimidating athletic abilities, so they resort to taking low percentage shots (jumpshots). THATS impact. Once D12 gets the ball in the post, hes too big and athletic to control and oppossing bigs just watch him take high % shots (shots closer to the rim) and dunk the ball w/ ferocity.
THATS impact. D12 leads the leads in offensive rebounds, meaning he gives his team alot of second chance points. THATS impact. Nowitzki doesn't do any of that and is a liability on defense. All he basically does better than D12 is shoot. And that is only for the guards to do. NOT BIG MEN!!!

And those handcheck rules you bring up doesn't affect guys like D12. He actually LEADS the league in free-throw attempts. That means he gets alot of calls in the post. Prime Shaq was a big and he led the league in FTAs. Handcheck rules doesn't necessarily apply to guards as you claim. As long as you're willing to ATTACK the rim, you'd be fine. If you look at all the guards/wings that attack the rim like Dwyane Wade, Devin Harris or LeBron James. Is it a coincidence those same guys top the league in free throw attempts? But then you're contradicting yourself, b/c since free-throw attempts are a by-product of attacking the rim and drawing fouls (due to handcheck), then generally jumpshooters like Dirk aren't proned to getting those calls b/c they don't attack enough. Remember 83% of Dirks attempts are off jumpers, so there was no reason for you to bring up handchecking, esp. if you were looking to support your arguement. 

Your statements hold no water. And I can barely understand your grammar/sentence structures.[/b]
How old is Lebron?he is only a year older and was about same age if not younger than Dwight when he dragged the Cavs to the Finals but thats not the issue how can you possibly compare a supporting cast of Hedo Turkoglu,Rashad Lewis,Jameer Nelson? to an ageing Ilgauskas,Ben Wallace an inconsistent Varejao and Pavlovic? you must be high on mushrooms your excuses for Dwight Howard are not working for me as there are no guarantees that he would be as good as you are hyping him up to be in years to come.Now back to your comparison to him and Dirk! Dwight is panya on offense and despite his centaur-like body structure he still got pounded in the paint by a Jason Maxiell who was amazingly 5 inches shorter and i am sure a few pound s lighter too  it is only shyte Centers and defenders like Kwame Brown,Diop and Erick Dampier that would be scared to guard Dwight! D12 has been doing pretty good but if he does not deliver in post-season your theory of him being the perfect and best big man in the league does not count for squat
Dirk has never been a post-player in the first place me i don't know where you get your figures from but D12 is a Center and Dirk is a power forward their styles are pretty contrasting i have never been a big fan of regular season stats though and by the time the playoff season comes along you would see why! Marcus Camby has won defensive player of the year a few times too so has Ron Artest so why are you ranting about being DPOY? his stats are very impressive but whether it would count come playoff time when it matters is a different story
Now talking about defense Dirk is number 4 in defensive rebounds in the league per game he might not be the best defender but he is not as soft as you haters paint him to be

Dwight might have the better stats but till he proves his worth in the playoffs  you guys should just tape it shut and stop over-hyping that is my point

And one last thing ESPN polls don't count for squat an ageing TD still managed the Western Conference Finals how far did Mr Superman go?

sistawoman:
A-40 you for get about those dudes that are mentally challanged (that the PC term right). They don't tell you when you start dating them that they are mentally challanged but you find out as soon as you try to end it with them, they just don't understand you anymore. It is like they stop speaking all human languages.
I thought she meant obsessive chasers which obviously means you are not dating yet but if you are ever so unlucky to date a mentally challenged person that conceals such important information from you then thats too bad i don't care lol grin grin
Seriously though every man has some pride to an extent and if you can dent it somehow trust me he would leave you
