    So he's repping H-Town.

    Since we have Asik, this is actually quite reasonable

    Kawhi Leonard should rank higher than Dwight Howard. People always rank Howard as if he was the player he was in Orlando. Dirk is a declining superstar too, but he didn't have back surgery...I'd rank him higher than Dwight as well. Hell, I'd rank Chandler Parsons and Terrance Jones ahead of Howard too.

    Deandre Jordan is the best center in the Western Conference. He leads the league in boards, is third in blocks, and is leading the league in FG% at .666. On top of which, he's the most athletic center with dunks that I think are even more impressive than Blake Griffin.

    I prefer this arrangement, but i definitely could be wrong. Haven't been keeping up with other teams lately.

    1.Harden
    2.Duncan (still the anchor of what they do)
    3.Parker
    4.Nowitzki
    5.Howard
    major drop off here
    6.Leonard
    7.Parsons
    8.Ellis
    9.Ginobilli (this isn't 2008, his age greatly limits what he can do in extended minutes)
    10.Asik (not his fault we signed howard, great defensive centers have monster value)

    Complete homer list its not even funny. The beard can never be #1 until he learns to play defense. He is one of the worst defenders in the league. He puts little to no effort into playing defense and you want to crown him the king of Texas.....SMH.

    It is tough to rate individual Spurs as they have such a good team. The Rocket player rankings in my opinion:

    1 Harden
    2 Howard
    3 Asik
    4 Beverley
    5 Parsons
    6 Motiejunas
    7 Lin
    8 Jones
    9 Hamilton
    10 Casspi
    11 Canaan
    12 Garcia
    13 Covington
    14 Daniels
    15 Smith

    There are probably 9-10 Spurs better than Lin.

    Dirk? If we had a Dirk like player on our team we can beat OKC in a 7 game series.

    dwight would be #1 on that list if he could make free throws, I keep hearing broadcasters say he makes all his free throws in practice. What is wrong with this guy in games? Does he get nervous?

    If you had Dirk on your team as the PF you would not just beat OKC....you would win a title.
