landry is not this all godly player you make him sound like..

I'm not saying he's a perennial All-Star or anything, but there's no denying that he's immensely underrated.

Not even close, but I do like him. Landry, had he stayed in Houston, would be our starting PF right now and we wouldn't have had to waste these drafts on 4 PFs. Landry has great post moves, and an excellent jump shot that extends quite a ways out, and he hits his free throws. I'd love to think Smith could be that, and I understand you mean it more in the sense that he killed the Lakers like Landry used to, but I'm going to squash that comparison now.

Landry's ownage of the Lakers is something special. dude just kills pau

and i didnt even think of that when i wrote it lol
but maybe you're right and he'll own the lakers

i was just thinking young PF making a name for himself. i like Greg Smith's hustle and soft hands. he's good

Developed in the D-League, man. I'm glad to see him developing, too. I'm not sure if they're playing him more at center or PF, but he seems to get some important minutes here and there. He's a smart player, on his way to being a really good story.

I wish the Hornets had kept Carl, he's one of the best low post players in the game.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Looking at Harden's advances stats, he's not having a good season. His defensive rating is an entire point higher than the team average, not good.

His offensive rating was at 125 last season, that's dropped all the way to 108 this season. His true shooting percentage has dropped like a rock, along with his effective field goal percentage. His turnover percentage is almost 2 percentage points higher. He also has NO offensive game outside the paint area.

THANK YOU. He's not even playing as well as Martin did in Houston. But yet people want to claim he's a superstar so badly...

He's probably a elite second option, but he's not a first option. He'll have his nights where he'll put up 35, but he'll also have his nights where he'll put up 15.

It's really sad really, Houston needs a 2nd guy on the wing to take some pressure from him, and that guy SHOULD be Lin, but he clearly isn't as good as that run he had suggested he was.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Houston needs Pau Gasol

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Houston needs a lot more than just Pau Gasol

 

[Pugz]

anyone else think dantoni will be fired before his contract is up?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Easily. I doubt it happens, but what if they lose to the Hornets tonight?

 

[Pugz]

then we'll see more overreactions. really tho, im not a fan of all that fouling. its not good sportsmanship. give them two fouls and the ball.

when youre fouling with 3mins left and the court length away from the other teams basket, bs.

 

[Mexi]

they already did change it
you cant do it under 2 minutes now

dwight should learn to make a damn free throw

i swear these guys need to step further back. not like Van Exel necessarily, but Dwight either short arms it or back rims it

why not give it a shot? i noticed he did yesterday a little bit and he was a little better

My boy Larry Sanders is finally starting.
