    As seen in the title, Black only played garbage minutes last night, while Dorsey was playing backup center. Thoughts on the switch? Neither one has an injury, right?

    I noticed that too. I wonder if it foretells who is to be cut if Josh Smith is signed.

    I think DM asked for JD to be played so that people can gauge his excellence and increase his trade value. :p

    It's just a matter of contracts...neither would be playing much with Smith coming in, and Dorsey's contract is longer/guaranteed. Unless they can find a willing trade partner for Dorsey, I would think Black would get cut first.

    Kevin McHale is trying to prove that, contrary to popular opinion, you can indeed go Black and go back.

    dorsey is better defense
    black is all hustle

    but i trust black with the ball than dorsey

    Dorsey has been giving good minutes so far recently. I don't believe Black is an NBA player. Just shows how thin the Rox came into the season as far as front court depth.

    Dorsey deserves those minutes. Other than rebounding, black is absolutely garbage.

    I guess not absolute garbage, but it frustrates me the most that he's so uncoordinated. If the NBA counted catch % of balls within 15 feet of the the rim black would be almost dead last in the league.

    Surprised Black has some many supporters, he's trash.

    both of them are trash, i don't think either really have any supporters, just a debate about who is less worse.

    People are being too hard on these two guys. Dwight Howard was injured for a substantial period of time and the Rockets held their own with Dorsey and Black playing a lot of minutes. They are not the greatest, but serviceable.

    Thank you. "Trash" Tarik Black was a big factor during that stretch.

    You got to look at the matchup.

    The Blazers are having Freeland, Leonard & Kaman out there, they are bulky and slow, its a better matchup for Dorsey than Black.
