    You’re preaching to the choir. I’m a big fan of Lebron, he’s must watch TV every time he touches a court. But what I was referencing was his consistent lack of focus on DEFENSE this year. Which we saw tonight as well.

    I think I saw in one of the highlight packages that he had 19 pts and 12 rbs in the 3RD QUARTER alone.

    My fantasy team would like to thank Dwight Howard for putting up a monster 30/30 game after Dame and CJ laid eggs.

    Yeah, I blame Craig for throwing that behind Beasley and at his feet.

    He has a 110 DRT right now. He's playing better D in Utah but he's still overrated defensively.

    Conversely, Aminu is at 105 DRT.

    Maybe they are getting a valuable education just by living in another country?

    Also I very much doubt they are making much money in Lithuania and it hurts their draft chances (not that either of them is going to make it to the NBA though). They will forever be younger brothers of a fairly good NBA player and sons of a massive douchebag.

    haha, there is so much truth in this post I don't know if it's possible to like it enough. @SlyPokerDog can you give Sarni like 1000 bonus likes for me?

    That's why, when I say something stupid, I always try to get in there first and eat some humble pie.

    DRT is really about what your teammates are doing with you - to be fair to Crowder - The Cavs are a defensive disaster and have not got any better since he left. On the other hand, next to good defensive players - Crowder is doing very well.

    This is why I’m blown away that The DVISS wants to play these guys. Leonard will return in the playoffs and it will be such a huge boost, we’d get swept.
