Indeed, maybe he's completely 100% again. He's still like 90%, not 100%. He needs to go to the hook more, not fadeaway. He's not the...
Well you cared enough to post here :D Anyways, Yao has been playing tremendous defense on Nene, He better get some recognition soon.
The Yao-Nene match-up looks like a wash when they are both on the court. Yao needs to start scoring soon otherwise we might lose, we win...
Yay, we still have a fighter, I thought Artest quit that side a while ago. It's nice to see we still have a trash talker, despite Rafer being gone.
I hope Melo and Artest guard each other 1 on 1 all night. Since Melo is clueless on defense, Artest would tear the matchup apart.
Oh really? :eek: Did you take a look at the defensive win shares? Because he's 7th in the league at that....
I wouldn't be surprised if LeBron wins it, he did completely rob Melo for ROY in his 2003-2004.
Agreed, Lakers aren't going anywhere just give Kobe the MVP and the Lakers the 1st seed. ;)
Yao has to defend Nene, Although Yao torched Nene and all the bigs for Denver. Nene also torched him, with Yao's improved defense he should be...
Well players don't never really had a good reputation on defense like Kirk Hinrich and Raja Bell managed to make it. They were known as defender,...
Single ;) But he's probably fine, he did come out and play again. I hope he is going to be 100% come playoff time though
Dwight Howard and Tim Duncan come to mind, but is your vote All-NBA defensive 1st team or 2nd team? We are talking about current not all-time.
He should add the bank shot when he faces up... I think Hubie Brown pointed that out in our last ESPN game, not sure who it was against though. I...
Sorry, but Big Z is underrated on defense just like Yao. Perkins will not get in, Media doesn't hype him up enough. It's either Yao or Duncan...
Duncan is not a very good pick n roll defender, he's a great overall and post defender. But he's not a good pick n roll defender. See WCF of the...
True, but he respects his shot blocking and his ability to intimidate others. So, I don't know. I believe Yao probably has his vote, but one guy...
Are you sure that wasn't Mark Jackson? Mark Jackson did have Perkins as a Top 5 Center in the league, when we were playing the Warriors on ESPN....
I agree completely. He needs to keep up with the defense and block more shots. He does have more BPG than Tim Duncan, but since Duncan has a...
Oh and just to add, If you are worse than Kendrick Perkins at anything outside of being a dirty player, you don't even deserve to be in the NBA.
That is true about reputation being mainly the case, but Do you think Yao at least deserves to be on the 2nd team? I believe the Media might look...
