    DeAndre Jordan is not a good player in my opinion. You'd be much better off with Hickson. DeAndre cannot even be on the floor in the fourth, his free throw shooting is that bad. He can block shots and be on the highlight reel, but other then that he isn't worth much. Not a bad defender, but struggles defending outside the paint.

    This. I mean guys. He was a complete non factor in 24 mpg in the playoffs. He did nothing. Clippers would've been wayyyyyyyy better off with Hickson. The guy the Clippers missed from last year was Reggie Evans. He did the dirty work while Jordan watched from the bench.

    You are right Thibs is a great coach. But tough big men? They have one (Noah)

    Boozer in the past has been rightfully criticized for being soft and no heart. He has been playing well, but they are winning because of more than just their big men. It is amazing what they have done.

    I predict Chicago wins game 2 and makes this a full on series.

    oh, right on, that'd help. Was just going off your depth chart with everyone on it, and not seeing how we pull it off.

    And I have a feeling that your feeling is incorrect! If either McGee or Jordan are Olshey's answer for our hole at the center position, he should be shit-canned immediately! Both of those guys are COMPLETE buffoons!

    Well I have a feeling their will be a lot of dissipated fans then. At least Jordan won't be the worst center Portland ever had.

    For the money he might be. How many Centers has POR had that made over 10 Mil a year? Probably none yet?

    It's only for 2 more years and who knows, near the end of Jordan's contract he might be a big trade chip to a team looking to save cap space.

    Why would we be eager to trade him if he is any good?

    I'm just saying if it didn't work out as planned.
