So, the Clippers have top 5 players at three positions, and they have a worse record than the Rockets. Is Doc Rivers really getting the most out of his team?
You don't really believe this. You're just doing your typical random contrarian opinion for the reactions.
Maybe I was a little harsh on Gasol but my point is I'll take a HEALTHY Dwight over Gasol anyday of the week. I think that's fair.
When Zbo isn't there, his rebounding doesn't pick up, his team's rebounding just gets worse. You're giving Gasol credit for Zbo's ability, Gasol really isn't good at boxing out at all, certainly not even close enough to make up for how poor his own rebounding is (he's about the same as his brother, but his brother is a good rebounder in his own right).
Dwight,Kobe etc are not ranked due to injuries ..I don't think they would make a top 5 at their precpective spots though
Eh...I love Z-Bo's game, but he is not TOP 5, sorry. I can easily name multiple players who are better. He maybe top 10, but not top 5. Here are the PF's I'd list ahead of him. - Anthony Davis - Pau Gasol - Paul Millsap - Tim Duncan - Chris Bosh - LaMarcus Aldridge - Blake Griffin - Nene - Kevin Love (Not having a great season, but still think he's a better player) - Serge Ibaka Like I said, I love Z-bo's game, always have. He's just in the twilight of his career (this does not denote TD21 on my list) and isn't a main focus on offense like most of these others that are listed. Do I think he contributes to his team's success, of course. Just don't think he's top 5.
that list is close, but i'd make a couple of changes: PG: curry paul westbrook wall teague SG: beard klay butler monta korver SF: lebron durant melo leonard hayward PF: davis p.gasol blake lma milsap C: cousins m.gasol horford noah jordan
Westbrook doesn't run an offense, has a terrible basketball iq, doesn't defer to the best scorer in the game when most times he should. Westbrook is an athletic player and hyper aggressive, but westrbook, only makes westbrook better. Not other players, and certainly not durant. But hey, he has STATS and that's all that really matters.
