I'm sort of confused by what you guys are getting at. Hudson was knockin down shots left and right. He wasn't going to hit them if Cassell was out there, and no way to know if Cassell was gonna hit the same shots Troy was, so what're we doin here? And neither of them were stoppin Kareem Friggin Rush from doing anything, so what exactly is the point? Cassell's 3's would be more painful for us or what?

What really stands out to me is Dirk is 4th in PPG, basically 1.5 points behind Druant right now, but he's shooting 12% better than KD, 11% better than Kobe, and 8% better than Rose, and gets to the line fewer or equal to all three. Only player right now shooting above 50% and averaging 25+ PPG. Call me biased, but I'd rather have someone taking only 18 shots and making 54% of them over someone taking 21 shots and only making 42% of them.
I know, clearly it has worked out well for Dirk and the Mavs all these years.
Hence why sometimes numbers ain't everything.

I'm just saying though, he can't keep that up.
Numbers ain't everything but it doesn't take a genius to realize he's off right now.
And as long as he's off, they are going no where. I just don't see what the fascination with him and the Thunder are. I never have.

Is ibaka really a center? He cant just be the millsap of the team? Im a bit ignorant of OKC, I havent watched any of their games this season so Im kind of pitching in the dark on Ibaka. Just seems like him being athletic and a hustle guy, hed be better playing the athletic 4s in the league. OKC could then get a tall more stout 5 to play against Dwight, Noah, Bynum, Perkins, etc.

OKC defense has really regressed, went from being a top 10 defense to being terrible. On synergy Durant's not getting through screens at all getting killed the most, his defense has regressed. He was a terrible player for a while, until he improved dramatically last year. He needs to get back on his grind.

Point #2: Cassell > Hudson > Hoiberg. Two of those three were out against the Lakers. I think that made a difference.
Point #3: If you are going to talk about how the loss of Malone's paltry numbers affected the Lakers' championship potential, the same argument can be made for Cassell.
