Two big lineups are fine, but not two big lineups in which neither could shoot (Pau/Bynum, Pau/Odom) or neither can guard the perimeter (Pau/Bynum). If you’re playing a traditional big, you need to pair them with a Karl-Anthony Towns or a Jaren Jackson.

Generally not a good idea to compare ORtg and DRtg across years, especially many. How do you divorce and untangle rule changes, personnel, schemes, strategic trade-offs, and league-wide stylistic trends from one another?
You're trying to paint a clear and concise narrative that doesn't reflect the multifactorial reality of how the game has...

You cannot play two non shooting bigs who can only guard the paint against the Celtics. The Celtics would win literally every time in a 7 game series.
Btw I know Odom could guard the perimeter but he was a poor shooter so even if you completely bench Bynum that’s still very poor spacing. Celtics are baiting the Lakers into taking 3s.

This basically boils down to the 3’s vs 2’s argument. 3’s are more efficient obviously but have more variance. If you ran both teams up against eachother in a bunch of different series you would have winners on both sides.

He’s trolling. He intentionally finds unpopular arguments and spends a lot of time pretending to be serious to bait people into this. Like that month when he kept implying Dwight Howard was some GOAT level scorer.

To fast for Big Z and way too strong for Andy and anyone else on the team. I feel like he's the entire reason washed up Shaq was a Cav.

You'd think offenses "ahead of the curve" would've cooked LA's defense back then. But they didn't.
Maybe basketball is a little more complicated than these reductive, simplistic narratives and notions casual fans like to throw out there about "the modern game."

You'd think a futuristic offense would've cooked the big-and-slow Lakers defense but that's not what happened. The same was true for Orlando from 2007-08 to 2011-12:
- 14 games played
- 7-7 W/L
- 107.4 ORtg; 105.4 DRtg
LA held Orlando's proto-modern offense 3.7 points per 100 below average.
I think any defensive concerns are exaggerated.

So you're saying a poster has an enough influence to do the same thing with Jermaine O'Neal? I'm sure some can get JO ranked higher than Chris Webber or Alonzo Mourning.

You are applying adebayo's overall numbers when the subject is just the defense of Tatum. That's a mistake.

Tatum's defense in Adebayo stays with adebayo's average. And that was clearly good enough. I did not say that Tatum shut him down. Tatum...

Not sure this is the flex that you might think it is? Bam led the Heat in scoring with 23 PPG on near 50% shooting in the series against Boston. So what's Tatum doing against Pau, really?
In addition, Bam this season shot 52% on 2P attempts whereas the league shot 55%.
2009 Pau shot almost 57% with the league shooting something like 48.5%...

Happened entirely because one good poster and one awful one became obsessed with him and argued he was better than everyone incessantly for months. Wasn’t a widespread opinion just one two people pushed for and argued every round till they got him selected and then bailed.
