    David, I hear your questions and I want to answer, but I am trying to stay within the focus of the particular thread and not derail it with other discussions that would be great in a thread dedicated to that topic.

    I hope you understand.

    So let me get this straight... with this week's bbs revisionist postings, Steve Francis was a JVG guy? Gotcha.

    I thought that was funny too, but I think he meant they were/are resistent to change, which does fit Steve and the others.

    Just a nitpick but what is up with people in the media exaggerating Lebron James' size/weight? Aldridge has him at 270lb. That's ridiculous.

    This article is bullshyt. YES, Tmac can shoot at will over his defender any time he wants....but he shoot at a terrible rate. Without him taking the bulk of the shot, the team is better off with Yao shooting and some other guys. Plus Tmac don't play defense and with Artest and Battier in the same lineup...the team's defense is unbelievable.

    If they shut down Yao, then they can post up Artest, who's to say we don't have a 2nd option without Tmac?? This article is bullshyt because Artest one on one post up is unstoppable and unguardable and he drove to the basket to draw foul in which Tmac will never do. Without Tmac, this team is more efficient offensively and defensively. There is a reason they're taking huge lead in the last couple of games...it's because of efficiency. With Tmac in the lineup, offense is chaos and unpredictable and defense is horrible as well.

    No doubt, 18-7 without T-Mac explains everything.

    Fair enough. I am a rookie so I don't know if I have the permission to start threads. How exactly does one create threads anyways?
