Amir Johnson 21 points, 11 boards, 5 blocks, 4 assits.


He's the second best player on the team at worst.

LeBron is a more versatile defender than PG though. If you want to say that's better I wouldn't argue with that. PG is a better wing defender imo though. Rondo is a better defender because he's just a better defender. Rondo guards elite players his size and bigger while Westbrook does not.  Steals and blocks are irrelevant to me.

It's not subjective though. They have stats that bear Rondo being a better defender out. I just don't feel like posting the stats because it should already be common knowledge.
Actually stats show that they're very close defensively. According to 82games while both the Celtics and OKC are better when neither of them are on the floor, Westbrook is slightly better (+4.1 for Russ compared to +4.3 for RR). 

Edit: Just looked up Defensive WS. Russ: 1.8, Rondo: 0.8

I've been wondering where you've been! 

I always notice your SN/team name in the league standings but never see you post in S+T that much 

maybe we can work out a Russy for Rose swap

Show me these stats? Rondo was hurt last year so the last time he played 82 games was in 2012. Where are you getting these 82 games from?

I'm here, mostly lurking. I'm usually asleep during the day and I read/catch up on S&T during my night shifts.

A Westbrook/Rose swap intrigues me. Maybe a change of scenery would benefit both players. 8o
 
Being up here in DC for school and watching their games the team has grown on me. I've technically always been in the Wizards market (VA), but I've rarely paid attention to the games. This year they've been entertaining and I'm all in now. John coming to the Howard Theatre  next Friday I might hit that up.

About the game tonight Idk man, we should've won against Sac and we let the Blazers do whatever they wanted to last night. The Lakers are a feisty team so I hope the disappointment of the road trip so far will get the team up for tonight. If it does, we blowin' them ****** out :hat

I didn't know he was gonna be there. I might go too.
 
Zbo upset wade hit him on the head trying to swipe for a rebound between a bunch of bodies so next poession he pushes wade from behind going for a lay up giving him 2 free throws to give Miami the lead smh lol
 
Yup. I watched a good friend of mine in a pickup game go down once. He just casually said "welp, that's my ACL". He gets up, walks off the court (no limp), packs up, leaves the gym. Goes to the doctor the next day...yep, torn ACL.

Everyone has this vision of Derrick Rose laying on the court and thinks that's what ACL tears look like.

I played for a while, then walked off when I tore mine. Wasn't that painful, just felt weird. Like I had no stability in my knee.
