Yeah, not close. Rodman would get Garnett all riled up and kicked out because he played too much with emotions. Rodman was a better defender all around
Lamarcus has always been a tweener, a tall foward with a small man's game. He doesn't really work hard on that defense side of his game. Kevin Garnett took Lamarcus to school back in the day like Ibaka does now. But we still need him, and fo 120 milliion. And he will get it.
Actually, in efficiency points (I calculated the NBA.com way*, not the harder-to-calculate ESPN way) per 48 minutes, Aldridge vs. Ibaka is 25.85 vs. 25.47. Very close. That's for their career matchups and includes games when rookie Ibaka played against the much more experienced Aldridge. My source of data: http://bkref.com/tiny/QNH1r *Points + rebounds + assists + blocks + steals - turnovers - missed FGs - missed FTs
Am I the only one who felt like LA did a damn good job defending Dwight in the post? His defense is underrated around the league.
nope. but whenever you say this the "trade Aldridge" people call you a homer. so. Or they bring up stats or talk about how Aldridge was part of the 21st ranked defense in the NBA. But these are the same people that say you can't know how good kevin love is on defense because he is on a roster with no talent or they say can't call a single player out for bad defense. smh @ those people.
