The last two games, he's been a very solid and legitimate NBA center. I noticed LMA looking thrilled with Lopez in the 4th quarter, and his play.
Yeah you can really tell he is understanding what he needs to do to help this team win. Aldridge is starting to rebound better because Lopez is boxing out to give him better opportunities. It's sooooo nice when we actually have a legit center!
Freeland really helps. Getting the big man that extra rest so he could go ham on the tired Pistons frontcourt was very helpful.
I definitely agree that he's found his groove. He seems like a perfect teammate; I love how happy he gets when Freeland does good.
I am not trying to start another debate about who is better between Robin and Hickson, because they are two entirely different types of players, but I think we can all put to rest that we were better off with JJ as our center.
