    no, the joke is your understanding of individual defense on a nba level.:rolleyes:

    and Im not the one to bother explaining it to you, I'll just shake my head and walk away.

    Best defensive pg in the league, even with a torn meniscus. You guys remember that? Still, we could use an upgrade in Lowry and Pat come off the bench.

    My dream summer: get Lowry and Millsap and we are 95% set, except for a 3D wing.

    You are wrong, LinWorshiper!

    It was his injury and illness...C'mon, going into that Portland series, Bev's health was the X factor. Healthy he takes care of the son of the Devil and we win. Instead, we had to rely on Jeremy the Wicked (the incompetent or incontinent too). The reason that we were only -200 to win that series was because of Pat's health.(Vegas knew we had nothing behind Pat) LMA can go off and as long as we don't have any other matchup issues, we're good....But when you sub Lin in and have both guys going off...well...forget about it...It became a tossup.

    I don't want to just toss out the stats against Bev but you can't really gauge his defense that way.

    Also - I think this shows how little one great perimiter defender can actually accomplish if the team defense is bad in general. We have Bev and Howard/Asik and we still sort of suck on defense.
