    Sort of like Dorell Wright played center for us when LA was out..Sam Perkins, Robert Horry, Dorell Wright all tweeners who can play multiple positions. I think a lot of 6'9 or 10 guys do that. Millsap is one. All of them can handle the ball as well. Perkins was a heck of a player

    That we've started another win streak? That's a little bitter.

    How frustrating must it have been seeing Wessy getting hurt and coming back 10 minutes later for that Lakers fan who thinks we cursed their team with injuries?

    :D

    Why that? Michael Beasley is in china. Trob is the defensive version of Michael Beasley.

    Michael Beasly is a crackhead

    That said, trob could very easily end up in China, he's like a 13th man as it is.

    This is like saying they're the same player but not.

    I brought up Beasley because it's a good comparison of an undisciplined player with unfulfilled potential. Their bball IQs are about the same.

    So I've finally had enough. After reading post after post of bullshit, I'm finally going to block a poster on here. Sabonis or whatever his name is actually ruins my time here lately.

    Welcome to the club. On the new forum software, you'll be treated to a bullshit-free existence. You'll never see that the person even posted or started a thread.

    I clicked on the IGNORE. Will that do the trick. I mean I don't even want to see him being quoted by other people. It's one thing to have an educated opinion, it's another to constantly spew absolutely moronic horseshit post after post.

    LA is shooting less than 46% from the field this year. His shot selection is deplorable. You don't need 10 heavily contested 18' jump shots every game. The fact that he and this team think this is one of our better scoring options is baffling to me. It looks bad to nitpick when we're 27-8, I know. But this is becoming an increasingly glaring issue-- it's reflected in our offensive efficiency dropping this season.

    Either this is a deliberate attempt to save his body for the playoffs and not take a beating while going inside, or he's become soft again and is on his decline.

    Kaman should NEVER start. Even if it means rolling the dice with Meyers. At least Meyers won't take two-thirds of the starters shots in the first quarter, nor will he constantly try to do too much. Kaman is like a 50/50 player. One good play, one disaster. Kaman dialed back his shots a bit in the second half but still. Let him be the designated gunner against the other team's second stringers. Start anyone else.

    And way to go Meyers!

    As I said early in the game: Meyers > Kaman. The only thing Kaman has over Meyers is some vet savvy. That's not enough.

    The key word is defensive. As long as TRob plays D and rebounds....he will find a spot on a NBA roster. I guess he could wind up in China after a while if they offered him a lot of cash, but he will still have offers in the Association. You make it sound like he sucks. That is hardly the case.
