    Olynyk led the Celtics with 19pts in a thrashing of the Nets.

    Lopez is not a much better rebounder than Hibbert. At least not based on their career numbers.

    Lopez is a career 13.4% Total rebound percentage.

    Hibbert is a 14.4% total rebound percentage.

    Hibbert had a bad year last year, but he had two straight seasons above 16% in that category. Lopez has never been higher than 15.6%

    Last season Lopez had a career high of 8.5 rebounds per game. Before that his high was 5.6. Hibbert on the other hand has averaged over 8 rebounds per game twice. I don't think Lopez is a much better rebounder, or even a better rebounder. They're pretty close currently, but historically Hibbert has been the better rebounder.

    I don't think we could afford both. Not unless we traded for one of them.

    Hibbert shuts down the paint. His numbers prove that - even with his down year last year his DRtg was beastly.

    I find it hard not to cheer for the hornets. Also their court is easily #1 in the world.

    I just love the way they play basketball. They play hard on both ends every play and don't really rely on "Hero" ball to much.

    Honestly, Monroe would make the Thunder deadly. I just don't see they have the pieces to make it worth while for Detroit.

    That would create a bigger problem for Okc in my opinion. They definitely need a back-up pg more than anything else

    Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

    So the Thunder would now add a 3rd max player (after this year) or would they just keep him for this season?

    If they wanted a 3rd max player who can score, but plays little D, they should have just kept Hardin.

    Rockets guard Patrick Beverley suffered a strained hamstring in Wednesday's season opener against the Jazz and will not return, the team announced.

    Beverley played 31 minutes before suffering the injury, and the Rockets enjoyed a double-digit lead late in the fourth quarter, so there was no need to push the guard regardless of the extent of the injury. He scored seven points on 3 of 6 shooting while recording two rebounds, two assists and one steal.
