    This is no different than the circus freaks who bitch and whine about Player A or B in the game thread on Page 2 and said player is killing it on Page 8 and you hear nothing from them. #MagicAreAGoodTeam #SunsBeatRocketsTheyAreGoingToTheFinals #WarriorsAreTrash #64Wins

    Curious how you say Circus Freaks and how it translates in Portuguese?

    When I was in Rio working, I asked my driver if he could just ,"shoot me down to the cleaners to grab my pants"....... he froze, gave me a dirty looked and kicked me out the taxi!

    Dumb questions and opportunities to teach are not mutually exclusive phenomenon.

    It's the only sample we've got, size be damned.

    I didn't take a stance, I responded to a quote of 2-month old context. Nothing has changed with respect to what Bones quoted, because sample size.

    Sorry. Call me a homer but NEITHER of those cats has Dame's intangibles nor his health. I'm not trading him for either of them.

    WTF has Davis really done besides get injured near every season? Duncan aside (he was really a center IMO), when has a team built around a PF and won it all?

    Shiiiiiit....

    I'm keeping Dame.

    I will say this: I think Dame has taken two steps ahead of CJ. I think there was a lot of people who thought they were pretty close in terms of talent/impact, but Dame has moved into the conversation of maybe being a top 10 player. CJ is maaaaaaybe top 20, probably closer to top 30. He hasn't really had a great season. I still think CJ is the best candidate to trade for someone that would balance out our starting lineup.

    Bird played PF for the first 2 titles he won. Duncan was definitely a PF the first half of his career (first 3 titles). Dirk won one as well.

    By the same token, how many titles have been won by teams built around players 6'3" or smaller?

    Actually no. It kind of depends on what you call average but even if you say average would be 50%. Then below would be 49.9% and that is a little less than half. Then there is a little problem when some consider a C grade or 70% or above average. Both are not really "Half".

    That explains why I fall in the ‘below’ category. 50 + 49.9 = 100

    Small sample size against some trash teams (yes, Chicago is a trash team).

    You're asking foquestions based on a sample size so small it cant produce legitimate answers.

    They're simply playing better, so they're having more fun.
