    If Hartenstein can play with his horribly dislocated neck, then I think Morris can play.

    Yea ur just making stuff up then. He's a undersized center that at times is over matched by bigger guys like Adams. He makes mistakes at times but he's still not a liability, which by definition is a bad defender

    Morey is considered as basketball theory genius, but how could he think his midgets can win championship?

    Harden's emergence as a great (elite?!) post defender is fascinating to me. What if it becomes his main defensive role over the next few years?

    Post D, 3 pt shooting, ability to take any defender off the dribble, and elite court vision. What's the comp for this? Barkley-lite with a 3 pt shot? That one time Magic played Center?

    I mean what is going on here!?

    Robin Lopez !! If we cannot get Morris. Enough of losing games due to 7 footers tapping out rebounds.

    To give an example of how bad a defensive rebounder Robin Lopez is, his defensive rebounding percentages over the last two seasons are lower than any season of Ryan Anderson's career.

    Gerald Green and Chris Paul have higher defensive rebounding percentages this season.

    Spud Webb and Nate Robinson, in seasons where he had more than 1300 minutes, had a higher defensive rebounding %'s then Robin over the last two years.

    Robin Lopez is averaging 3.4 defensive rebounds per 36 is what I'm trying to say.




    Marcin Gortat is the guy you want. Career defensive rebounding rate of over 25%, like Lopez a true big, a vet, good for the locker room and a career plus defender. I could see him as a guy we sign the last week of the season for playoff insurance.

    This is what I've been asking. The guy is now getting a second opinion on his neck and all I'm hearing is "hurry and lock him up morey" and "oh he'll be fine. We can wait on him".

    The thirst is real.

    People are sick of seeing PJ run into the ground.
