Finley was third in blocks, so he should be the starting center. It's all so simple now!

remember how bowen and oberto double team lebron in the finals
and remember the 4th q of game 4 (2007 finals)
like tpark said
Waiting on the names.Quote:
Right again T-Park...Oberto exploded in the Blocking category. And every other category rather. So Oberto made open lay ups in the Jazz series YAY.
Show also his stats for game 4 the clinching game in Cleveland.
Sorry that his 20 blocks didn't show up or anything, he just made clutch baskets and played good defense.
Sorry theres no stats to show that genius.
BUT BUT HE DIDNT HAVE ANY BLOCKS!!!!Quote:

and get a foul charged him, and an and1.Quote:

either that, or lebron still makes the shot, and he did nothing but stand there.
Genius :tu

BTW
what is this horseshit
"Stand there like a man"
So is Manu less of a man when he flops and creates a foul?
(awaits onslaught)
In other wordsQuote:

I lose arguement so I point out something insignificant.

And for Manu, Oberto is lucky he coat-tailed Manu's fire and heart the past 10 years. Without Manu, Oberto would still be playing for Tau Ceramonica.
About Manu's flopping.
Manu is one of the skinniest/weakest shooting guard besides Kevin Martin in the NBA. Yes he flops but thats the only thing he can do when rotating from the weakside defensively. I applaud him for that especially when he takes charges from bigger guys. Manu doesn't have the luxury of an 8 1/2 -9 foot reach like Oberto or a 6'10 250 pound frame. When Oberto rotates defensively teams point and laugh and get their And 1.
So Oberto played with Manu in Tau?Quote:

So in other words
Manu is god
everyone else is shit.
Shocking.

No in other words Oberto blows. (Outside of back cutting, making wide open lay ups, and tipping the ball out for an offensive rebound.)
Yeah Oberto blows.
Genius.
Just genius...
i trade for marcus camby
or some athletic center who can block shots and reb...tyson chandler....
why dont we trade for okafor
Why not trade for Dwight Howard?
Oberto is nothing better than a 3rd or 4th big man in the rotation. He should be coming off the bench splitting time with Horry.
Oberto is wildly inconsistent on the defensive end but for some odd reason people love him.I mean i always remembered our defense being centered around funneling guys to our bigs, but with Oberto on the floor that just turns into easy points. I don't know about you guys but I don't like watching teams run lay up drills and then get free throws on top of it. Don't get me wrong I still think we can win it all with him as our center, but our offense has to be firing on all cylinders. I guess I would just prefer to play it safe and try and package Berry and Elson and maybe even a pick for a guy like Kurt Thomas.
Yeah Kurt Thomas the blocking machine :lmaoQuote:

Quoted again for someone wanting an interior shot blocker and wanting to trade for Kurt Thomas :lmaoQuote:

Why don't you quote me where I said hes a shot blocker? Hes a good interior defender who plays good post defense and keeps his hands up. He doesn't allow lay up lines and unlike Oberto he can pull down a rebound. Oh yeah he can also hit a mid range jumper unlike Mr. And 1 whose range consists of a 2 ft lay up.
I guess its comical to trade your 3rd wing and a big man who contributes nothing for a guy who is better than our starting center.
Don't you dare argue with T-park the great. No posts= no game.
Kurt Thomas would be an improvement over Oberto for sure. His on the ball defense in the post is superior to Oberto's and he stands his ground and at least contests shots to some extent. Has a better midrange shot and I imagine he can make open lay ups.
no doubt a very poor/laughable choice as far as shot blockers go, but he still beats the shorts off oberto (1.2 bpg on 25 mpg vs 0.3 bpg on 20 mpg this season; 0.8 bpg vs 0.3 bpg career). not that thats too hard to do though.Quote:

Is this the same stud interior defender who Parker would blow by for layup after layup?
Wanna quote me where I said that?Quote:
