    I haven't looked at numbers or watched his games, but is Horford an upgrade over LaMarcus on defense? I ask because Leonard has not shown any progress on defense, and wasn't very good at it in college either.

    Ya, blocked shots are simply 1 way to help determine if a player is good defensively

    He is better at help D and clogs the lane a bit more. He isn't as good offensively but does attack the rim more. I completely agree with everything you and pinwheel have said about it being a lateral move at best. This doesn't move the needle and is a pointless topic because were not going anywhere not because of LA but because we have the worst bench in NBA HISTORY not because of anything else.

    I would love to have horford. I would not be upset if we traded Aldridge for him.

    Bumping a thread with the mags jaundiced eyeball should be against the rules if it's not

    Why should it be against the rules to bump an old thread? I see logic in bumping something old. What's the logic behind banning the practice? :dunno:

    I wouldn't know the whole context of the usage of the term "FAMS" without a zombie bump.

    Not sure? Probably because forum favorites were doing it so mods let it slide.
