Boozer and Hamilton aren't 20 PPG scorers anymore. I'll give you Deng, because he's good.

In Utah he shot like 1.5 less times a game than this year and he had Milsap, Kirilinko, Jefferson ect. Idk, I think the pg position is changing here lately

I said they have before, not currently obviously. Either way the talent levels aren't even comparable.

It is changing, but based on what teams need. We are seeing more shoot first pg's like Rose and Westbrook, and a different caliber of athlete also obviously.

DWill, CP3, and Kyrie are my ideal PG's..

Guys who have excellent court vision, can break down a defense, and score from anywhere...

Rose is a pure scoring point guard. Doesn't really look to set up teammates or run set plays. He's looking to break his guy down and score. Same with Westbrook.

Those guys are great, but give me the first set of PG's over them for my team.

Cp3 is almost too passive at times. The Clip are soooooooo much better when he is aggresive and scores(usually during a game they mention the exact stats on how theyre better when he scores 20 or something)

I'm not arguing #'s... I'm arguing about the flow of the game and control of the offense. CP3 has amazing court awareness and controls the offense as a playmaking PG should.

[h=3]Source: Sixers Inquired About Amar'e Stoudemire[/h]Jan 29, 2012 11:39 AM EST
According to a league source, the Sixers have inquired about Amar’e Stoudemire, though it was categorized as “due diligence.”
Nothing is said to be imminent or even in the early stages other than just talk, the source said.
Nevertheless, in past seasons the Sixers were reportedly discussing trade scenarios with the Phoenix Suns in order to acquire Stoudemire.

Its come too the point where I am generally surprised when the magic break 85. They are sooooooo bad offensively.

That is how you end a half. Holy shit. The Clippers/Thunder went from a close one to a complete blowout in about 30 seconds.

Mozgov clone, but Perkins is twice the defender!

EDIT: It was Perkins.

Pretty damn good dunk. If he was able to get his hand to the rim it might have been the best ever.

He at least did get his hand around it during the throwdown. Unlike the Mozgov dunk. This was easily the best of his career, imo. Perk just got served bad.

I think any chance of me ever seeing Kendrick Perkins not look completely furious off is now officially out the window.
