Lebron is a good defender, in short spurts and when he wants to be. Usually spends his time guarding someone who is not an offensive threat so he can cheat off and help though.

Agreed and I love Durant but the media is kidding themselves if Lebron isn't the runaway favorite to win MVP.Fly4Fun;1389799 wrote:Just a quick anecdotal note on LeBron's defense from last nights game.
The whole MVP race between him and Durant is a media fabricated bunch of crap to try to keep some excitement about the discussion.

Sources: With Dwight Howard still seeking happiness, the Lakers and Celtics have discussed a trade for Rajon Rondo. http://cbsprt.co/HowardRondo

IMO, it doesn't make any sense for either team this year. However, it definitely helps LA moving into next season...
I doubt Dwight re-signs with Boston, so Boston would be doing this as a cap move.

You know the shitty part?
LA should have CP3 and Dwight right now. And Gasol wouldn't be an issue.

Metta
Clark

Damn you David Stern.

Bobcats win by 13 at Orlando.
Henderson and Kemba with 24
Mullens goes 20/12
Any chance a contender takes a flyer on Mullens? Since his return from his ankle injury he played at 20ppg and 9.5 rb.

Went to the Cavs game recently when Charlotte was in town. Sat right behind Dion's mom... Anyway, BJ looked pretty decent in that game. I think he finished with 25 in a blowout loss, point is, his shooting touch was definitely evident.

He needs to stay where he is and develop. They aren't winning much but the court time is valuable, he gets better every game.Ironman92;1392641 wrote:Bobcats win by 13 at Orlando.

Bingo. Playing with no pressure for Charlotte is a lot different than playing for a contender and getting valuable minutes. If he went to a contender he'd likely ride pine again.robj55;1392750 wrote:He needs to stay where he is and develop.

It wasn't a question of his needs. I was asking if a team would consider him for a stretch run to obviously come off the bench.

Thomas robinson traded to rockets. Been a pretty big bust thus far.

I actually like that it's on, just weird for ESPN to decide this a long time ago.

They've been advertising it as a matchup between the last 2 #1 draft picks. Like Crimson said, it's just something different than matchups between the spurs heat celtics thunder lakers.wildcats20;1393236 wrote:Can someone tell me why a Pelicans/Cavs game is on national TV tonight?
