there are worse defenders than both. And also it was about time the clown got fired, the reasoning behind making the cousins trade demand public is crazy, there is none. Not to meantion most of players pretty much hated him and he is a terrible coach.

Yeah, but Dan Toni' can't be used as a crutch for Tyson's porous rebounding.

It kind of seems to me like they were just hoping to plug him into their lineup and have their defense magically fixed, because I think some people around the league think that's what happened with us last year. They fail to realize we had been solid defensively before Tyson, and he just added to that. I think Tyson will be able to slowly help, but it's unrealistic to expect one guy to change a team's whole defensive mindset without any help, especially when the coach isn't on board.

Oh, I agree - just commenting on the poor match between Chandler's skillset and D'Antoni's system, which is sure to contribute to Tyson's shortcomings (although his rebounding was kinda spotty last season too, especially when it came to boxing out...)

Exactly. Dirk, Marion, and Kidd are light years better defensively than Amare, Melo, Douglas. Fields is a respectable defender at best, same with Douglas. But Melo and Amare are flat out terrible (especially Amare).

So, Portland and Phoenix...what a weird season we're having.

Fortunately for the Blazers, they got blown out on the road. If that would've happened at the Rose Garden they would have been eliminated from contention this season.

Per Hollinger, they probably are.

A rookie sleeper to look out for that hasn't been talked about is Nicola Vucevic on Philly not athletic at all but very skilled on the post and very good rebounder he will be pushing for more and more minutes as season goes on.

The Wizards maybe the worst team in NBA. John Wall doesn't look phenomenal at all. He looked very pedestrian up against Rubio and seemed to have regressed.

I just don't think they know how to play together, the worst thing for the kings to do is trade one or both of their 2 most talented players for little, they have to keep them unless they get fair value (which is extremely unlikely).

Sigh really wish Kawhi and Malcolm ended up elsewhere, now I can't really hate the spurs. Malcolm Thomas is going to the spurs he is extremely long athletic shot blocker (fastest second jump I have ever seen) he is only 6'9 225 and really doesn't have a jumper so he will struggle to score in the NBA but he is extremely quick and athletic, plays above the rim and has quite a bit of potential on the defensive end.

I'm a big fan of Nicola. He beasted at USC. Good rebounder and three-point shooter with a post game. A little bit like Okur (but taller).
