    Just got back from the game too! That game was such a thriller. Props to Dalembert making that block, Martin getting to the free throw line, and Dragic wisely missing the 2nd free throw.

    So we finnally found a guy with length that could hold Durant?

    Cuz when battier was here, he couldn't hold durant because durant is so tall.


    Thank you Parsons. Unless Morris has faster lateral movement and defense? :confused:

    I doubt Morris will be anywhere near as effective on defense as Chandler has been. In terms of defense against isolation plays, I'm struggling to think of any SF right now that is playing better than Parsons.

    Parsons man defense is indeed very, very good. I just wish he could shoot/make layups/shoot free throws. Guess it's good to remember he's still a rookie and you can't have everything :grin:

    But man to think, if he could knock down open jumpers at a high rate, developed a slightly better touch around the rim, and hit 61% of his FTs like in college, he would be very nearly the perfect roleplayer. Shane Battier Reborn, with more length.

    Parsonsanity. Seriously though, give him an offseason and a full camp. I think you'll get your wish.

    I agree, the difference in Lowry's shooting was notable after a summer working on it.

    Parsons could really be an offensive threat if he keeps the D honest by having a mid-range jumper in his locker.

    Lebron is a pretty good defender.

    Don't know if anyone caught KMart telling coach Sampson to put in Lee after he had knock down the FT's. You could see coach Sampson telling coach McHale to put in Lee. That was a good call by KMart.

    Who cares? I much prefer the team being under-appreciated. It was that mentality of the first championship squad that led them to play with a certain chip on their shoulder. McHale can use that to his advantage.

    Pump your brakes.

    I know we won but you shouldn't confuse Durant missing with someone shutting him down &,

    Durant & his 33pts disagrees with you.

    Good win Rox!
