I blacked out when Q-Rich went to the Suns and won the 3pt contest

kd is not the best defender but his 7ft reach makes it a lot easier to recover. people need to realize that the lebron/kobe/duncans of the world are great defenders (kobe when not guarding role players) and in order to get to that level guys like harden/love/kd need to actually work on their defenseIt's troubling man, Harden and Love are both considered the best at their position yet are doormats on D. Even Durant isn't as great of a defender as he should be, I think he'll continue to improve though.from harden to most of the "best pf in the league"s to 90% of all top PGs it seems like no one plays defense anymore

bird was a better defender than most people give him credit for and magic was lucky in a sense that back then teams played inside out so there wasnt a 20 ppg pg every other night like there is today. no excuse for barkley though and i consider that to be one of the main reasons he never won anything (other than jordan of course). i think/hope doc is able to get blake defending better as well, he's not long enough to contest shots in the post in a 1v1 match up but with coaching on positioning he can at least become an above average defenderIts nothing new though. Magic, Bird and Barkley were all considered mediocre to bad on-ball defenders. Magic and Bird get credit for being good "team" defensive players though. Some guys really don't have the tools to be great, lock-down 1 on 1 defenders. Like Love, for example, isn't really big or quick, so it makes sense that he wouldn't be a great on-ball defensive player. But KD and Harden have enough athleticism that they can be better, if they make the commitment.It's troubling man, Harden and Love are both considered the best at their position yet are doormats on D.

I can't start a franchise with a guy who can't get me 25+ ppg in the playoffs nor lockdown/slowdown the best player on the best team in the league (who plays SF).You take harden or paul George to start your franchise ?
Who wins more games this season, lakers or raptors?

DRose said NBA told him he has to stop wearing tape on his neck.

I find it pretty funny how certain offensive players get "a pass" for their horrible defense, while others are ripped to shreds for their lack of D.
its like howwhats the reason behind the banning of the neck tape?
It says more about the positions themselves. Wade and kobe are piling up the miles. Other than that the shooting guard depth isn't great. Boozer, bosh, griffin, dirk, Aldridge lee don't play any damn defense. Davis still too young to consider him the best. Duncan and kg are two years from retiring. Zbo is legit but I wouldn't take him over loveIt's troubling man, Harden and Love are both considered the best at their position yet are doormats on D.
