I wish that was AK-47 getting dunked on and destroyed. His new hairstyle pisses me off even more than the last one.
I wish it would've been Matt Harpring -- the biggest tool in the league. He's still spiking the front of his hair like it's 1997, and flopping harder than ever.
It means exactly how it's written? His defense is suspect (has shown improvement), questionable attitude/effort (also has improved) but when it come to scoring the basketball... I believe that he can rack up points easier than anyone in the NBA right now.
Carmelo has toned down his game a lot since Iverson came into town. Remember he as average 30 points a game up until that point. He lost some of his aggressiveness. Now with a real playmaker on the team in Billups, he ca go back to doing what he does best. Scoring in big chunks efficiently.
I was thinking he was referring more to Portland's lack of a strong perimeter defender. Portland's long been one of the teams in the Battier discussions.
I think the crowd noise was largely brought on my his reaction and not the actual skill of the dunk. That being said . . . 8.6
