    What's a gimmick defense? If it stops the other team, why not use it?

    His offensive game is hindered not because of his lack of skill, but rather cowardly defenses that dare attempt to, and successfully at that, prevent him from scoring. Man, I hate cowardly defenses.

    Wasn't McGrady talking about how the zone is killing the league a couple of years ago?

    Everything kills you when you're injured all the time.

    Yeah he was, he should have gone to college.

    But there is a difference between these two. A zone defense is illegal. Gimmick defenses are silly, although Haslem doesn't really have room to speak since he is never the focus anyway.
