Kyle Lowry had an "I'll put the whole team on my back" game tonight. He willed them to win. Just a brilliant performance

Harkless shot an airball freethrow :baldhuh:

@Gil Scott-Heroin you illiterate breh? Did I say you hyped his defense or hyped his ability to improve? Nah, but both you mentioned it in another thread, which apparently wasn't the Randle/Parker thread and I thought it was so I can't find all the receipts because you guys post too damn much for a proper search.

Okafor is given a chance because he plays center, and Okafor has good length, especially compared to Julius -

Wingspan
Randle - 7'0"
Okafor - 7'5"

Standing reach
Okafor - 9'2.5"
Randle - 8'9.5"



Randle isn't overly quick laterally and he doesn't have exceptional length for his position.

Yous a lie cause I've been consistent with Okafor and how he would struggle on defense, how he would need to be next to a shotblocker and how he could turn into a decent defender. You was on some other shyt and acting like he and Randle would be a great defensive frontcourt. Stop calling every Laker player the next coming and people wouldn't be so critical of them, there was a Larry Nance thread where someone was trying to say he was better & more skilled than Portis

This is shyt that was reference in that thread and it was a carry over argument from another thread as I brought it up in the Parker/Jabari thread when we were discussing inability to improve on defense over time. Okafor will never, ever be a decent defender. He is a god awful defender and will make any team he's on worse defensively and probably just overall.

I didn't neg malta for lying about me ever cosigning the dumb shyt regarding Okafor's defense, yet I see you got your panties in a bunch immediately.

Austin and Blake get the shyt beat out of them hell cole did when he was on our team too

 

[Emoryal]

How can a simple obvious lineup change evade a renowned nba coach so easily
They get an open 3 or a mismatch with 3 guards EVERYTIME and Doc just says "fukk it"
Speights should be at the 4 and luc should be at the 3
wtf
