Inasmuch as I want the Lakers to lose this one to give our Spurs a little leverage, I think I’d like the heat to lose even more… Mike Brown, once Spurs employed, deserves to whip LeChoke’s ass for a little bit of revenge.
It's better to be silent and be thought of as a fool... than open your mouth and remove all doubts.
Greetings and salutations everyone.
I never take the high road, but I tell other people to, that way there is more room for me on the low road.
The funny thing is they probably can through 3 quarters and still beat those Heat. They will be the 3rd team to have more than 2 road wins.
As bad as Spurs road woes seemed to be, only OKC and Denver have more than 2 road wins as of today.
Winter is coming
Still working here in the lab. 1 hour more and I’ll be walking home through the snow. Are you watching any game tonight?

If you were the coach of the Heat, and didn’t have to deal with any of the egos of the big 3, would you make one of them come off the bench to strengthen the bench similar to how pop made Manu come off the bench for several years. If so, who would you send to the bench?

thats a great question. I would probably pick wade. James is much better at distributing the ball, getting the other starters going early. Bring Wade in off the bench to continue that offensive production.

Wade. To preserve his health, as he has that Manu-style willingness to sacrifice his body.

From the little I’ve seen him this season, Wade does so many Manu-like plays for the Heat.

Nobody can win in the NBA by himself. When we played Orlando, their 2nd and 3rd best players were Ryan Anderson and von Wafer. I think, Howard brought that team as far as anybody could. Put him on a decent team, and we’ll see whether he would ‘turn a corner’ or not.
Both teams played hard
during their run to the finals the best player on that team was Jameer Nelson. Here’s my test, replace Duncan with Howard in 05 do the spurs win the chip? NO, replace KG with Howard in 08 do they win the chip? NO

Gotta say I side with ICH on this one Kondor, Howard doesn’t have the killer instinct/bunker mentality/winning above everything/whatever you call it. Howard doesn’t have it as far as what he’s shown so far. Would he be a great second option? absolutely! but Shaq’s won as the best player on his team, don’t think Howard ever will.

I remember the series when Howard guaranteed a win being down 2-3, and they did win 4-3. It said to me that he wasn’t a softee. People said for years that Dirk didn’t have it or KG didn’t have it and whoever else you can name. I say it’s too early still to call Howard’s career. Shaq didn’t win in Orlando, and he didn’t win in Phoenix. At LA he had Kobe, and he had one of the best coaches of all time, and he had pretty good supporting cast. If we added Howard to last year Spurs we would have a team roughly as strong as the Lakers in 00-02. Howard would be the best player on that team, and I wouldn’t bet against it winning it all.
Both teams played hard
I don’t think Dirk was ever soft. Terry was, but he was better last post season. Chandler also added a toughness to Dallas.
Howard sometimes has it, but sometimes not. The Spurs game was a good example where he looked like he was losing his cool from time to time, when things didn’t go his way.
I think Shaq gets a tad overrated since he had great teammates, in Kobe and Wade. Wade had pretty much taken over by the time Shaq was a member of the Heat.
Now, yes, Howard on the Spurs would be stellar. Howard on Lakers would be amazing, if they kept Gasol (moved Bynum) since you’d have the offense/defense balance, for example.
But each and every time, Howard’s role is mostly the defensive coverage, when you combine him with other players.
In a sense, Howard is like Drob, where he’s probably the 2nd guy, on a super good team. That said, Drob was a much better balanced player, but using him as an example, of someone he has similarities too.
Winter is coming
Your test is really not a test at all, because we don’t know these things.
I’m never meant to call Howard’s career, just assess his game from what he’s showed so far. So far, he hasn’t shown me that he could be the best player on a championship team. It might change, but I seriously doubt it.

Seriously ? you guys are arguing this? Dwight howard might be the second best player in the whole frickin NBA behind only Lebron. He is BY FAR the best defensive player in the league, you can be an excellent rebounding team with only him and 4 matt bonners as his teammeates, and he gets you an efficient 20-25ppg a game. He demands double teams even if he only has 3 moves, and he covers every inch of the court both on offense and defense. Seriously, this is not arguable. Stop it
"Kevin Garnett once described defending Tim Duncan as "trying to guard a tree"
Agree with Chilai. You look at that the team Dwight took to the Finals, that roster was a whole lotta crap. They were also lucky Rashard Lewis got hot against the Cavs.
Also if you look at it, if Howard leaves the Magic right now, that team could be worse than the Wizards.

I disagree on that. Hedo was having a career year which earned him a super bloated contract. Courtney Lee was awesome for them, as a rookie. That was a big mistake to move him.
The team wasn’t stellar, but it wasn’t crap either.
Nelson was still a decent scoring guard back then.

I dont remember much about Ewing, but there were seasons when he amassed far more blocks per game than Dwight Howard. He had an insane 340 blocks in one season.

He was a horrid defender even though he had blocks. He’s like the guys who amass a lot of steals, but aren’t good defenders.

I dunno, he must have had something to do with the fact that those Knicks teams were some of the best defensive squads of all time. I remember ESPN did a piece on that subject, one of the best Spurs teams from a while back was on there, one of the new Celtics title teams was on there ( before they got old ) and one of Ewings teams was on there. I think they ranked either 1st or 2nd in total stingyness.
A man gets the eye of a Tiger, but a Tiger gets the eye of a Manu.
Sorry, i used horrid too easily. He wasn’t Amare bad. He was decent, but his game was a little overrated.
The Knicks were a solid defensive team, but they had some bangers on their team.
I guess when compared to different generations he’d be sought after now, but he wasn’t that great.
I was young though, so my judgement probably isn’t as good.
Winter is coming
There must have been something in the water, so many all time great big men playing in one era. Today we have Dwight Howard, maybe Pau Gasol (on the downside) and thats about it. I wont even bother mentioning Bynum and Marc Gasol in the same sentence as these other greats.
A man gets the eye of a Tiger, but a Tiger gets the eye of a Manu.
This is a very strange argument. DPOY stands for “defensive player of the year”, not “defensive player of all time”. Your argument is like saying that the Spurs didn’t deserve their rings because they didn’t play against MJ Bulls, Showtime Lakers or Russel’s Boston teams. It is also very difficult to compare players of different eras because of how much the game changed. For example, Shaq was virtually never called for pushing other players out of his way to the basket. Howard was called at least once during his game against the Spurs for pushing Duncan out. 2 points for Shaq = 1 foul for Howard in this case, as a result of the same play. They tweaked the rules to emphasize perimeter play at the expense of traditional center position. It makes it more difficult for Howard to match the impact some of these other big guys had.

I disagree. Shaq is bigger, but Howard is more athletic. Shaq was often out of shape and lazy on defense. Both were best centers of the league in their prime. I am not quite sure what you call ‘talent’. Shaq was probably more naturally gifted, but Howard worked more on his body to get into excellent physical shape.
Both teams played hard
I guess what I meant by talent was that I’d rather have an in his prime Shaq on my team than an in his prime Howard. While both were the best centers in the league in their prime, you also have to take into account how the competition during Shaq’s era was much so much stiffer with a flurry of great centers which Shaq went up against and dominated night in and night out. Nowadays, Howard’s competition is a constantly injury riddled Bynum and Bogut, Old farts like Duncan, and offensively inept, defensive minded centers like Chandler, Noah, and Perkins. Howard should be dominating them, yet he’s only averaging around 20 ppg despite being the main offensive weapon. His defense is spectacular. Yet I doubt he would affect games as much as Shaq did if he were playing in Shaq’s era. Again, all I’m saying is that shaq is the better player, but we can agree to disagree.
You are only young once, but you can be immature for a lifetime
by the little o on Jan 19, 2012 11:21 PM CST up reply actions
I would take Howard, mostly because I like both him and his game more. I think, Shaq got away with too many offensive fouls in his career. Yes, you can say that Shaq had stronger competition among the centers of his time. I don’t know how many ppg Shaq had, but it’s not surprisingly if he had more because he sometimes just played one side of the court and slacked on D. If you build a team (I don’t mean fantasy basketball here), it’s usually easier to find another scorer than an exceptional defender, who also is a potent offensive weapon. In fact, Shaq probably missed on a couple of more rings because he couldn’t share ball with Kobe. Howard would be more valuable for that Lakers team with Kobe in his prime.
Both teams played hard
In his best years, Shaq had either Kobe or Wade on his side. Howard never played with another payer of that caliber. Still, he brought Orlando as far as the Finals.

I have no problem w Kobe taking shots with how bad the rest of the offense is to be honest.

Lakers could use anyone who could shoot. Frickin Bynum was missing 2-3 footers against the mighty Heat bigs.
"Hey if repeating as champions were that easy even the Spurs could do it." olf
They do have the 3-pt champ on their team. This is why I think Mitch is overrated. he’s helped more by the team he works for than, his actual work. But then Buss’ son also so maybe there’s an internal battle that is distracting him…
Winter is coming
Think what you want but they obviously did the right things to win while Kobe was in his prime the last few yrs. Mitch pulled Ariza off the bench in Orlando, let him go for Artest when he wanted too much $, kept Odom as insurance, drafted Marc Gasol in the 2nd round the same year the Spurs passed him up to draft Splitter as a few examples.
I am very happy with Mitch even though not every thing works out.
"Hey if repeating as champions were that easy even the Spurs could do it." olf
I think the Ariza deal was good, but the Gasol deal is really the only difference maker. That was a no brainer deal though. Chris Ford in Memphis pulled a real head scratcher there for what he got. It was essentially Marc Gasol (who hadn’t played an NBA game) for an NBA championship.
You can be overrated though and still be good. That’s where I place Mitch.
Winter is coming
Pau Gasol went 11-19, I think he should have had more shots…. the offense used to run through him in memphis, he even led that team to the playoffs, why not, on nights when kobe is shooting 8 for 21 allow Pau to run the offense… oh yeah because kobe is kobe

You don’t need a PG to setup a big. You just need a competent passer. Odom is an example of that. Kobe, too.

See because they can’t make ANY outside shots and have NO floor spacing there’s no reason not to pack the paint. And Bynum isn’t too great at passing out when doubled and when he does they miss the shot anyways.
"Hey if repeating as champions were that easy even the Spurs could do it." olf
Well, Lakers need shooters. I’m not sure why haven’t figured that one out, for years.
If Kobe is the entry pass, his man can’t cheat off of him. To be honest, their team should be able to easily expose defenses. Heck, you don’t need CP3 for 3-pt shooting.
JR Smith, Wilson Chandler are some free agents the lakers could use.

Love, The entire Spurs organization is not ready for Griffin’s dunks. Jokes, aside, Love seems to fit our current team better. Though Griffin has a higher ceiling if you’re thinking of the future. Still go with Love.

I agree, he also needs to stop shooting so many jumpers for now. More importantly though, he needs to play better defense. It’s unacceptable for him to be subbed out in late game defensive situations.

If you go with the Franchise player tag, you take Blake. If you go with fit, Love is pretty good for what the Spurs need. that said, if Blake is available, you take him and work around that.

With the current setup of the team, probably. Although that athleticism could also be useful for the team. I’m actually up in the air. Although then Pop gets his big man 3-pt shooter which worked well in the Horry era, so yeah…
Winter is coming
That’s going a little far. Shaq was done by the time he made it to Phoenix. He was pretty done at the end of his Miami career too.
With Duncan playing a more perimeter game, you could leave Blake near the basket. If you swapped Blair out for Blake, you’d get a lot of the athleticism, but taller and more polished offensive game. Both are lousy on D. Both don’t box out well.
Now, being a UCLA grad, I’d love Love. And he is more realistic between the two pipe dreams, but it’s not that clear cut, with Duncan’s twilight approaching.
Either would be an upgrade. In some ways, it would probably give the Spurs their best big.
Winter is coming
My point is, Griffin’s game is absolutely different from what the Spurs play and what Pop coaches. We just don’t do all this dunk/alley-oops stuff. Pop looks for a certain style of play, especially for his bigs. Look what he did to RJ, he is playing in absolutely different style now. Blair is struggling notably, while Splitter is a reasonable fit. Love would be a reasonable fit for Pop’s game, but Griffin – absolutely not. If you want to bring Griffin, you may as well fire Pop and bring D’Antoni from NY.
Both teams played hard
Yet, a lot of the guys we have been hoping for are athletic and do this dunk/alley oops stuff. I don’t think it would be lob city with the Spurs, but I don’t think Pop would walk away from it. Even Pop said he lets Blair do somewhat of his own thing, within reason. Same with Manu.
RJ is playing a different style because he couldn’t fit a half court team. RJ also was overrated by so many. He was never that great. He was decent, but he was always dependent on lots of fast breaking. Occasionally he’d hit the jump shot.
Jason Kidd made his career. If he hadn’t played with Kidd in his young career, he wouldn’t have any of those big contracts. Neither would Kmart. That said, Kmart is a better player than RJ, but he would not have neither that same size contract he got. Bigs always get paid more than average, but he got a crazy contract.
As for Blair, he’ll always struggle at times. A lot of it depends on the team the Spurs play. He’ll dominate Utah, for example. He’ll have issues against Orlando, but all Spurs had their issues with Howard. He struggles against Twolves though.
If Malcolm Thomas does ever get enough burn, he’s a pure athletic player.
Spurs have moved towards more athletic guys. That’s the evolution they have needed to make. Leonard is deceptively athletic. Green is really athletic. He’s Gerald Green’s (former slam dunk contest winner) cousin!!
Is Blake the most ideal? Nope. Is it clear cut with Love/Blake. No, it isn’t either. Both would bring a lot. Defensively, neither are that super.
Do note that Blake is a fan of Duncan, so him playing in SA would be an interesting setting, if that were possible.
Winter is coming
Pop treats dunks like the league treats the technicals. Two dunks a game – you are out, 16 dunks a season – you are benched.
Both teams played hard
Honestly, I don’t think he cares about that. He cares that the player doesn’t lose his mind and does what he needs to. Usually the big dunkers are way too flashy though, and bring other baggage.
Now if we are thinking the athletic bigs that the Spurs had in the past or wings, they all sucked so I think “suck” was a more important factor than “dunking”
Winter is coming
Yes, and Mahinmi never had a chance, because he wasn’t a good fit for Pop’s system and wouldn’t change his game as much as RJ did.
Both teams played hard
Well Ian was too often injured. He didn’t show enough to warrant a good contract to come back. Those injuries really ruined his career as a Spur.
I’m not saying it was the right gamble, but Ian didn’t show too much. He showed slightly more than Pops or Alonzo Gee (different positions, but same idea).
I can’t really blame them for not wanting to spend more on him as nothing worked out on both sides.
Now, if the Spurs were this old, and they had to make a decision, I would say, yes, take that risk. But this is years later.
Winter is coming
Injures never help, but I think the biggest problem was that Ian didn’t quite do what Pop wanted him to do.
Both teams played hard
Well, injuries prevented the Spurs from getting good looks at him. Ian’s attitude and desire likely were lacking with all the setbacks. The change of scenery seemed to help spark Ian.
I can’t really fault the Spurs FO for this one. I can for a bunch of other things, but this one falls to the way bottom, among items that they made mistakes on.
Winter is coming
“Well, Lakers need shooters. I’m not sure why haven’t figured that one out, for years.” Let me just say they could certainly use shooters. But I swear, they have no decernable Offense at all.
(While it has been a problem for years things worked out OK the past few as far as I’m concerned.)

You know, after the CP3 trade was cancelled, Pau has been very professional. I think he’s a classy guy (you know, for a Laker). But he seems kinda checked-out like he’s expecting to get traded. He’s kinda stepped out of the key and allowed Bynum to be “featured” more. He’s definitely not fighting to get deep position in the key, crashing the boards, etc.
"Hey if repeating as champions were that easy even the Spurs could do it." olf
Didnt he essentially check out late last season? Maybe he was injured, but that guy just has not been the same.

Well, yes, Lakers lack a lot of youth talent at the wings. that’s a problem. Another problem is they don’t work off of inside-out.
Honestly, that deal should never have been allowed to go through. Stern stepped in too late. That siad, since it got that far, it shouldn’t have happened.
Lakers even with Paul/Odom would have been weak in depth and overall talent.
