    I don't think the point being made was why HCP called out the n00b. Regardless, it is funny to see some people worship Outlaw v2.0, aka Wesley Matthews, as being some huge upgrade.

    Well, there's two main differences...

    Matthews doesn't score many of his points on isolations, so there's less ball stopping than with Outlaw....and Matthews plays better defense.

    If so, they would've had to give us Randolph+Billups+filler for Miller+Camby. Otherwise, Camby just makes them too good with his rebounding and defense.

    Teams like Miami and NY are beatable if only for the fact that they have no interior defense. Giving them a guy like Camby is like asking them to win the championship for us.

    He must have forgot what Monty taught him then.

    They play Travis at the 3. Travis never worked well at the 3, even in Portland. He was only useful at the 4 where Nate played him. Travis most certainly has a J.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Travis can shoot. His weakness was shot selection. That's why he was an inefficient scorer.
