    Where did you get that? :confused: Dalembert played in all 55 games. And we were never top 10 in defense.

    Camby and dalembert have been the main reason we are winning there defense and rebounding helps get us easy baskets on the fastbreak and they are both decent jumpshooters so they can spread the floor

    Having two quality C's have been what the team has needed all along. Both can play tough interior D and can rebound in traffic.

    I was actually very excited when I read we traded for Camby, but when I heard the collective reaction was mum, I didnt speak on my enthusiasm haha

    loved the Camby pickup, hes been really productive for the Blazers before us

    I disagree. I love Chuck but Dally is a more potent offensive threat than he is. The problem with Hayes is that everyone shrugs off him and ends up helping on someone else.

    The difference is not huge though. Hayes = Dally pretty much if you compare them.

    Like I said. Size wins. Chuck Hayes was a good family atmosphere player. Size wins.

    One thing that I like about Morey is that, he realized soon enough that SIZE DOES MATTERS in basketball.

    What Morey has known all along is skilled size matters, not just size. Remember Hasheem????

    Daly will be motivated by Camby.

    Camby is one of the most tremendous professionals I have ever seen. The guy has a pure love for the game, has always played hard, and picks his words carefully. Obviously he's matured a lot.

    He's the kind of guy I would love to have on this team till he retires for all the value he brings and the knowledge he can pass on. I'm also certain he will stay in the game and he seems like the type of guy who can carve out a successful career as an NBA exec.

    Great pick up by the Rockets. We have one of the best C rotations in the league IMO. Top 5.

    I think we will surprise someone in the playoffs, we haven't seen the full potential of this team. I hope by the end of the regular season everyone is healthy and we see this team start to click with all its weapons. I think we have a great group of guys in Daly, Camby, Scola, Parsons, Lee, Martin, Lowry, Dragic. Pat and Bud are doing a good job this season too. That's a fantastic 8-man rotation, would not want to face us in the playoffs.

    I just watched a 08-09 rockets game and they were discussing Hasheem at Uconn and the Warriors commentators thought he could be better than Mutombo :)

    So basically we've replaced Dally with Camby, a very substantial upgrade.

    And we've replaced Jordan Hill with Dally, another very substantial upgrade.
