Is this so hard to understand? To me, it's not.
You know, I find it funny looking back to see that in the '03 playoff run we spent well less than ten minutes a game without a center on the court. Oh, but Nellie, even if he had Shaq, wouldn't play him. Please.
And don't give me Patrick Ewing on the very down side of his career as a counter-example. Ewing was a dog.

I don't hang out here as much as I used too, but how can anybody say this anymore? Avery has a bunch of guys that could not play defense according to Don Nelson, and not only has them playing better D, but playing better overall.
Nelson was lazy at the end. He preferred playing golf to going to practice. F' him.
