You can post whatever you want; it still won't make him a top 25 player.

He's a top 25 player in this league. Top 10 scorer without a doubt. Defense leaves a lot to be desired.

Yes he's a top 25 player in this league, without question. Anyone who says otherwise is either stubborn or trolling.

Kevin McHale is currently a better player than Harden.

Why are we bringing up Harden after his last game? I've thought most of the season he was top 25....but he was far from special to open the series.

He might finish 5th in the MVP race.

Marc Gasol is a top 25 player.

John Wall isn't a top 100 player.

Turiaf with a great hustle. Mem Clipps series is awesome. I thought Clippers were a joke this yr, but playing TOUGH this game. Beating the grizz at their own game.

Mem needs to start making some FTs though.

IMO, the Grizz are lucky that the Clippers aren't good in halfcourt offense because Memphis doesn't have frontcourt depth at all. They are going to give Griffin a lot of calls and Randolph and Gasol will be on the other end of those fouls. They probably could use Mareese Speights.

When Randolph got called for his 3rd foul, Blake told a ref he was terrible after his dunk didn't count as continuation. Z-Bo fouled Chris Paul before he made a pass to Blake for the dunk and didn't lay a finger on BG. I am convinced that Blake Griffin doesn't understand basketball. Go Grizz.

Bobcats fired their coach because that's the teams biggest issue... :rolleyes:

Too bad they can't fire the whole team.

Marc Gasol DPLOY

Well deserved, top 15 player IMO and no one talks about him.

That was an incredible display of shooting last night by golden state. I've never seen a team get and stay that hot for an entire game

Hes good...but DPLOY really? Only averaged 14 8 and 2. Ibaka did that almost exactly, only averaged a block more per game and played on the best team in the West, he should of got it IMO

Okay, so he averaged the same amount of rebounds, a full block less per game and played on a team that ended up worse than Ibaka's. Not sure what he did to deserve it.

If we go by rebounds and blocks (which usually the DPOY is near the league leader in) Noah, and Dwight both had better years defensively. Im not knocking him at all, but he had a woefully average season, unless some of you watched a lottttt more Grizzly games than I did

You're using the same argument for the guard with the most steals to win DPOY. Blocks aren't everything. I wouldn't QQ over Ibaka getting DOPY, but IMO Gasol deserved it. He's incredible. Lot of the time he keeps his man from even getting the ball.

Ibaka should have gotten second place over LBJ IMO, though its hard to argue against any of the 3 really.
