    Dallas signing wes was the worst move of the four. Cuban should've started to rebuild and instead payed all this money for an 8th seed with no real future.

    That said I'll never talk bad about Wes. He was all out all the time. I also won't talk bad about Batum. Too likeable. Robin was cool too despite being limited as an athlete and as a player.

    Fuck Marsha though.

    The argument was CJ vs Wes. CJ while being a better ballhandler (than Lillard) is not the post up player, defender, nor the leader that Wes is/was.

    But he could be. And thankfully he appears to have the work ethic to get there.

    Alberto's statement wasn't about the future. It's about the right now. Sans the Achilles injury, my statement holds true.

    Yes Wes can post up, but how many times a game would he do it? 2-3 times at the most?
    If he would have tried it any more than that the defenses would have adjusted. And his average at best passing and ball handling skills would have been exploited.

    CJ on the other hand does not need to post up because he has a larger arsenal of options once he gets into the lane. He can stop on a dime and pull up for a short jumper, or shoot the runner.

    Wes is a much better defender against bigger players than cJ, He is a 2/3.
    CJ is a better defender against quicker players and is a 1/2
    CJ will get you more assists and surprising about the same amount of rebounds.

    Wes is a warrior though. His toughness will be missed.

    Glad to see we're not the only fan base to make ridiculous conclusions based on one game.

    I know it's bad to wish failure upon anyone. But I was VERY glad to see the Overweight Luvva go 4-12, with 11 pts 5 WEAK rebounds and a LOSS.

    FUCK YOU TEXAS TURNCOAT!!!

    I'd like to personally apologize to Sinobas and Blue9 for my inattentive listening while LMA was here.
