    records from different seasons with different players and coaches? not a real accurate measurement.

    ZBO is usually fine....HE beat the Blazers last season.

    Your logic is pretty bad here, as BTOWN_HUSTLA pointed out... you might not enjoy watching him, but you seem to have a strong personal bias against Randolph which is fine and good except insofar as it stops you from thinking straight.

    Yeah, I agree with the posters that said that the Clips will still play no defense and will win their 15-20 games. Griffin is not going to make that big of a difference and will probably not get the ball with Baron and Z-Bo on that team. They certainly have good offensive talent, but their defense is horrid.

    My logic pretty bad here? Above I showed that the two teams in question had better records without him then with him. I kind of assumed once that was ignored, logic and facts went right out the window.

    After that, I just had to point out how horrible he was as a player when viewed live for a whole game. TV does not do it justice.

    To say that in the Clippers case it was because he was hurt ignores the fact that the Clippers were crippled by injuries all over the place last year. Z-Bo being one of those hurt doesn't mean much there. I suppose you could argue that the Clippers might have done better if he had played every game. No way to support or refute that.

    Z-Bo is that rare player that puts up decent numbers while making everyone around him worse. He does so by being a complete black hole while playing not even the slightest amount of defense. When he played a full season for the Knicks, Steve Nash had more blocks then Z-Bo did. How is that possible for a power forward?

    It's possible because he could fucking care less about winning.

    Why don't you compare the teams he was on to random teams from the 1970s to prove that your juvenile namecalling indicates that you actually have a valid point? :)

    I don't see how this makes any sense. Most of my broadcasts actually allow me to see all the players on the floor... maybe I'm paying extra for the full 10 man broadcasts?

    Or are you talking about how he warms up before the game and at halftime? Or are you talking about his posture when he's sitting on the bench?

    Or you can look at how the teams did with him last year and then how they did without him.

    How would that be?

    Or should we go back to watching him live and comparing him to the Willis Reed and Bill Walton Knicks and Clippers, respectively?

    Dude. You're grasping at straws. Typing typing typing because you've got your mind made up and you don't care if you give any actual evidence or not.

    He doesn't block shots because he doesn't care about winning? What does he care about?

    And, while you're at it letting me know what he cares about: what's his favorite color?

    You don't like him. That's cool. It doesn't mean that your opinions about him are either convincing or consistent with reality.
