His Greatness

What is the average PPD among active members?

My god it's just a title... who cares. He's both. The position is interchangeable for him. There, problem solved.

So I guess you skipped over everything I just posted. Huh. Never mind.

Great site; thanks for the bookmark. Are there more sites like this and coachingbetterbball?

He draws the best big whether it's Howard or Nowitzki, much like with defensive wings checking the best perimeter threat. Doesn't change or define their position at all.

Nice effort compiling the articles, but none of it disproves my original point that it's just a stopgap. He's starting at the five, and it would be foolish to argue that because it's a fact. But isn't this just trivial semantics? He's a defensive specialist. He's 6'6. He's spent most his entire career as a forward, and he's never played any real, major time at the five until this year (when Houston has no centers). Hayes can play multiple positions, but I'm inclined to believe he's mainly a four. It really would be silly to exclude him from qualifying just because he's starting at center this one year.

I am offended. I only ever go for subtlety. Besides, biggest bust belongs to Eddy Curry for his double Ds.

What can I say, I love fisting.

It's like you read my mind.

Hayes at the five is just a stopgap — he is definitely a power forward. He's also, pound-for-pound, the premier post defender in the league. You won't find many players with better interior technique and use of leverage. And Poe, while I agree that Varejao is mostly annoying, he's really improved and has become quite a versatile defender. Plus, high-energy, high-annoying guys that can defend, hustle and fluster their checks a la Bruce Bowen (or even Rodman) are always good. Hayes, Martin, Varejao, Haslem, and Mbah a Moute.

Cavs fans must feel heaps better after this. When it comes to the manner of re-signing, there is no word more assuring than the word of Boozer's. EDIT: gtfo CF

Danger Mouse and Pete Rock.

Will Durant become the youngest scoring champ in NBA history, or does LeBron win something he could win every year if he wanted to but doesn't care enough to? LeBron is leading by a massive .1 PPG margin. Cleveland has 10 games remaining: tonight at San Antonio, Sunday against Sacramento, Wednesday against Milwaukee, then Atlanta, @ Boston, Toronto, @ Chicago, Indiana, Orlando, and finish the season on the road against Atlanta. They'll probably clinch long before that. OKC has 12 remaining: tonight vs. Lakers vs. Portland @ Philly @ Boston @ Dallas vs. Minnesota @ Utah vs. Denver vs. Phoenix @ Golden State @ Portland vs. Memphis

McNabb said he would prefer Minnesota if he were to be traded, but it's highly unlikely with Favre's indecision, which will probably last the whole offseason. Also, Philly doesn't give a [expletive] what McNabb wants, and I doubt they'd trade to a competitor.

Larry Bird is a three-time champ, MVP, and a top-10 player. LeBron has not accomplished nearly enough in his short seven years to dethrone Bird as the greatest three. LeBron will still be the greatest when it's over, but not yet.

Too bad you missed out on him operating in crunch time. That's truly a sight to behold. The front office is clueless, the coaching is counterproductive, the personnel is unbalanced and being paid franchise money, and we're stuck in no-man's land — not qualifying for a championship (or the postseason even) or a lottery pick. At least New Jersey has the offseason to look forward to. Any observations on Jrue Holiday?

Very insightful, and the analysis is accurate. Not much to add, although I will say that while Elton is not the right "brand", he isn't the wrong one either.

It does work, because your detraction from Pacquiao's performance sounds exactly the same. The Sixers couldn't score more because they were the inferior team just like Clottey, who was thoroughly smothered. He was hesitant for a reason.

The Sixers would've beat the Heat last night if they scored more points.

Fight's tomorrow night. Discuss.

Bill Russell anchored 11 championship teams. Him.

Owens can barely get off the line anymore... of course he's lost a step.

Same. Better than VII, IMO. I said it.
