    Really, he started Batum at SG and Claver at the 3. I agree that Claver is a bit more 4 and 3, but he can play either.

    Great to see Claver getting more burn.
    He's got amazing mobility for a guy his size - and that makes him quite versatile.
    Hopefully he 'loosens up' a bit and finds his stroke with some more extended minutes.

    Pretty much. Although, on average, SG's attack the rim at a MUCH higher rate than LMA.

    Looking at bigs who are comparable in terms of settling for a mid-range or long-range jumper rather than attacking the rim -- Andrea Bargnani.

    Shut up Fez. That turnaround shot is his "skyhook." A go to move in the clutch that he made at the buzzer to beat Dallas a few weeks ago.

    Call me when LMA develops Dirk's mid-range game and ability to put the ball on the floor.

    I recall many a game in years past when Garnett destroyed us doing little other than a turn around fade-away. If it works, it works.

    Not nearly as effective. KG (MN, early BOS years) got to the line at a higher rate. He mixed it up with his turnaround by getting the ball deep on the block and attacking the rim.

    He was a monster. Now he's just a dick.

    When anyone reputable compares LA to Bargnani, call me . . . maybe

    They are comparable in two* aspects: timid of mixing it up on the block and both are not assertive. Very anti-Kevin Love in assertiveness.

    '

    MIXUM was banned for much less trolling than what Fez is doing these days. It's annoying.

    So calling attention to two huge problems with this teams "franchise guys" is now trolling?

    Really?

    :lol:

    FWIW, every stat I brought up was not made up. So, how is this baiting?

    Sheesh!

    I'm not a fan of LMA's game and athletically he's already declining. It shows in his play and even he has admitted he lost a step:

    - Nov. 15th

    Lillard's defense needs A LOT of work.

    These are issues or at least should be if you take off the homer glasses.

    It's only annoying when the troll has somewhat of a point. It's laughable when they talk from their ass.

    Fez thinks the gas from his ass is making a good point. I think he's only joking. Anyone actually serious about the shit he spits must be a DMC fan or something.

    The problem is the alternatives that you have wanted us to draft in the past have been butt-shitty. Aka, Dion Waiters. Hot garbage.

    If posters don't like Fez's posts just don't reply. It's pretty simple.

    Fez, I see that you have been banging on my man LA for a while now...... to each his own. You can bring up any stats and equations you want, poll all the league coaches and GMs and i bet you he is one of the top 5 PFs in the game.

    I think Fez raises some valid points with Aldridge ... but Jesus, plucking on that one string guitar over and over isn't making it any more palatable.
