    ranks 7th among 82 PF's, both in RPM and DRPM. As a gauge, Collins has a +3.73 DRPM; Justice Winslow has a -0.62

    he's one of two Atlanta rotational players with a + differential in defensive rating +1.2 (Capela is the other). Any time a player has a better rating than his team there's a decent chance he's at least average as a defender, but that also has to be gauged by how bad his team is at defense, and the Hawks are bad

    I knew Westbrook would not work well when both he and LBJ were on the floor together. But I did buy into the theory that when LBJ was hurt (or resting) he could carry the team long enough to keep them in the race. WTF happened? LBJ is playing great and they still suck!

    They gave up all their role players to get Russ, and he is doing exceptionally little to contribute. He's become a net negative whether or not he's on the court.

    In Russ fashion he will put together a run of 10 games, with padded triple doubles, before playoffs and Laker fans will get that warn fuzzy. He's always padded his stats and it got him in best 75 club and probably HOF.

    Just to let you know..... One of our most popular big white american born centers has returned to RipCity. Just saw him on crutches at PDX. Sorry, was talking to him and didn't think to try and get a blurry pic.

    I don't really agree with that. Russ is HOF/top-75 because of his run of triple doubles to top Oscar Robertson's marks, not for what he's done since. He used to have a very big impact on the game, but he seems to have lost that ability gradually yet rapidly, each year. It's like he chased the triple double average too hard and it broke him.

    That was pretty savage. He launched from outside the paint.

    He jumped unreasonably soon. It was an unreasonable dunk.

    Morant is the most exciting player since Iverson.

    I'd be happy to take a flyer on Grant, we see players do much better when they get to a team where they prefer the teammates and can win. Think of Harden just now, or Batum on the Clippers, etc.

    Now if we have to give up a lottery pick for Grant or give him a huge max deal; no then pass.
