    I think writers vote for those awards, DPOTY, and coaches only vote defensive team stuff. Coaches mail it in usually, and throw out stupid votes for guys(Outlaw got an all defense vote a few years back for us, I remember). Kobe on 2nd team over Iguodola is pretty poor as well.

    I do think Chandler is a better defender than Howard... but not by much.

    a healthy howard is imo is better. the way he changes the way teams have to play when he is on the court is testimant to that.

    Chris Paul first team all defense? I've sure never seen him as a lock down defender.

    cp3 led the league this season in steals with 2.53 ... he's led the league four out of the last five years and has only been under 2/gm once in his career and that year he was at 1.8.

    Shit....... no need to be a lock down defender if you take the fucking ball away from 'em before they are even in a position to score.

    Yeah, but if he doesn't steal the ball the path to the basket is there.

    I am not going to get into it about whether or not CP3 is one of the best defenders in the league or not. No different then arguing if he's black or not!
