Re: Clippers @ T'Wolves NOW
[QUOTE=qrich]He is, as of now.
But his play to start the season was atrocious.[/QUOTE]
Yeap but hes more than made up for it imo, guys improved a lot without question. His final step will come in this year post season seeing what he can do there. But as of right now hes taken his spot back as #1 PF and doing quiet a bit of it without Paul.
Re: Clippers @ T'Wolves NOW
[quote=andremiller07]With this recent run hes probably back to being the #1 PF for the time being I'd say. Lee, Z-Bo have both slipped a bit and Duncan is a C.[/quote]
Lamarcus is better, and IMO Bosh is better but that can't be proven currently as he has sacrificed stardom.
Not sure how Lee has slipped a bit.
Probably worth mentioning Love is injured as well.

[QUOTE=G-train]I didn't watch the Clippers much that season so I can't comment.
But I do know that Clippers fans hate the Timberwolves so I shouldn't try to educate them in the matters of Pek.[/QUOTE]
Wolves are far from the teams that I "hate". They have two guys who I wanted quite badly on the Clippers (Shved & Lee), another who I wouldn't have minded (AK) and a UCLA alumn.
I know plenty about Pek, and that plenty leads me to believe he is NOT a great center. We are weak in that position right now, and while he may be a good one, that does NOT make him great. I'll take a healthy Bogut and Bynum over him. Throw in Marc, Noah and Dwight, plus guys like Jefferson, Duncan, Garnett and Pau, who many consider to be 4s playing the 5, and I don't see it.
And that year, Kaman probably had the biggest repertoire out of any big men when it came to offense. Could score with both hands, could back you up and score, could put up fade aways, had a little running hook, shoot from 15 feet, put it on the floor, etc. Wasn't a good defender but was solid and averaged 2.8 blocks.
Yet, no one dared to call him great.

Nobody thinks Aldridge is better right now unless they are delusional.
Re: Clippers @ T'Wolves NOW
[QUOTE=SevereUpInHere]I saw him throw himself to the ground after minimal contact... not sure what you saw.[/QUOTE]
See the replay? Barea literally had his arm hooked. You ever try a 360 shot with somebody arm locking you? Didn't think so.
Re: Clippers @ T'Wolves NOW
[QUOTE=notatop29pg]It'd be good to sit on the sideline and see exactly what is going on.
Is Vinny calling ALL the plays?
Is Blake not making himself available due to fear of hack a Blake? (yes im aware of the ft% lately)
Surely you cant be a head coach in the NBA and not have a reason for not pounding the ball into Blake during the 4th.
Interesting.[/QUOTE]
Does he have a reason every game? Because it happens constantly.
