Yeppppp! That has to be one of the most irritating "strategies" people use. If someone doesn't want to talk about one players performance then they don't need to. People see different problems from different places and prioritize which they feel like talking about accordingly. That doesn't mean...

Well the Celtics traded Doc for a pick so...

Yes, that was quite bad. The idea was correct, show and stop the penetration but the execution was about as bad as it gets. And from that clip Derrick looks to be way out of position, like he is waiting I'm the middle of the court while Lebron is head down the side.

"Heat official informs us that Ray Allen hasn't dunked twice in a game since Feb 10, 2011 vs. the Lakers."

Ray Allen had three dunks all of last season. Tonight he has two. COOL!

I am not sure Jimmer could have played any worse.

Ben's lucky he didn't get called for a block.

Indeed. The link below has a Cousins vs Davis done by Dime last month. This comes from that article and expands on what you are saying. So when Cousins starts playing franchise minutes his numbers will not only bounce up from the additional time, but will also rise higher in relation to Davis...

This surprised me, Webber's FT: 177 / 313. 565 %

Grrr, I reworded that a few times and obviously still got it wrong. I was more trying to say the comparable piece that his team would need is an elite guard/sf who can be the go-to guy rather than another big being that guy. Cousins needs a help defender/rim protector and Davis needs the go-to...

Good breakdown, I was thinking along the same lines.

Let's say we look into a crystal ball and Davis ends up being KG in his prime. Do you do this trade? There is an article floating around that compared Davis, Duncan and KG at the start of their careers that you might be interested in. It said Duncan's post game was far superior to Davis, and...

I don't think Davis would need a supporting post scorer, it would be a guard or sf with elite penetration ability if you base it on his current game. The general rule is you need someone who can either get or set up easy buckets. Preferably both. With Davis not being that person (right now) it's...

That's the big question to me. I am not convinced he is on the path to having an elite low post game. Only time will tell. The concern with super athletic players is they rely on it too much and end up like Howard or Griffin. He is still very young and has a great work ethic so I am excited to...

I would like to see him. Not sure it matters who the back up is with the style of play the Heat use though.

Don't read my last comment or watch the video. You will miss Tyreke.

Indeed, it's great efficiency, which is what I said in my first post on the subject. Being highly efficient, by itself, in no way makes a player the go-to guy. This is his highlight mix from his last game. Note that almost every one of his baskets was a dunk which was set up by our old friend...

So you take Howard over Cousins? edit: and Marc Gasol?

Do you see Davis becoming the goto guy on the offensive side? I am not sure if I do, which is what it would take for me to want him over Cousins. Basing my decision on Davis never becoming the #1 scoring option he would need a stellar guard to get the "easy baskets". And if I have to chose...

Nope, wouldn't trade Cousins for Davis at this point. If Davis shows that he can take over games in the future I would though. I would rather have an unstoppable big who gets other teams in foul trouble than the combination of rim protector and highly efficient offense. It seems it is easier to...
