I know +/- is a pretty skewed/useless stat..... but how the hell did Thomas Robinson get a -16 in 7 minutes played

They could start doubling L.A more but them blazer boys could shoot. They might end up getting blown out

tooo diffcult with him posting up 20 feet from the basket, can't overreact. nobody shoots 60% from midrange forever.


Dwight got to gaurd him imo.
 
Centers: Kareem, Russell, Hakeem, Wilt, Shaq, Moses Malone, Ewing, Zo, David Robinson, Unseld, Reed, A. Gilmore, Bob Lanier, Bill Walton, Nate Thurmond, Dave Cowens, Elvin Hayes, George Mikan, Nate Thurmond, R. Parish, Dwight (if you have to include him as the only center of this era)

It's really the only other position that can go 20+ deep in bonafide sure HOFers, SF, PF, and PG can't really.

Boom. And this is why I still think Houston has a real shot at winning this series. If Portland can win two straight off of long 2's from LMA, then it's for sure likely that he can start missing and H Tine can win two straight.
 
they should try asik on him, hes not going to bring asik out to the 3pt line like bosh would

better to save dwights energy and fouls for offense 
 
I don't know OKB. You have MJ/Kobe/Logo/Wade/Iceman or Clyde all top 25 players of all time with at worst 2 of them being in the top 10 ever, maybe 3 with West. Center is the only other definitive position that you can say competes with that in my opinion with Kareem/Wilt/Shaq/Russell/Hakeem.

You put DH on LA that takes Howard away from the basket which leads to less rim protection. Also DH looks to be taking the aggressive approach on offense. I don't think Dwight will have the energy all night for that. They just going to have to keep throwing different guys on LA.
 
another thing about not putting dwight on lamarcus is that once he starts missing you will need dwight at the basket collecting rebounds

LA was toasting Asik. None of them want no parts of LA right now
 
Everyone thought Dirk was going to come back down to earth and he never did. LMA is hot from the perimeter but is fully capable of busting up HOU on the low block as well. I don't think they have an answer for him, and you gotta think Dame, Wes and the rest of their role players are going to play better at home like guys usually do. James Harden is going to have to show up or it won't matter what they do against LMA. Stars win games on the road, LMA has done that so far...time for Harden to snap out of it.

good point
 
Hardens game is just too flawed, this offseason he needs to walk around with a cast on his left hand & do everything with his right, cant be a top sg & not be able to use your off hand

With hardens "flawed game because he can't use his right hand", he averaged 25.4 points 4.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists on 45% shooting. Here's a list of players who have done the same or better since 1970.
