    See the white text under my original post, genius.
    Oh snap, you got me

    Perhaps you should've added a white-text disclaimer to this gem:

    there's a very easy case to make that he's (Duncan's) far better than Howard on the defensive end.
    You are a ing re . See, I can use sop ric tactics too!

    Yeah if you just cherry pick stats which favor Duncan like many of the GNSF's frequently do.
    I admit that I did indeed cherry pick stats that happen to be the ones most used to determine defensive player of the year, coupled with team success. Nobody said you aren't welcome to cherry pick me some stats to show how much better Howard is than Duncan.

    There is such a thing as playing smart and not playing aggressive enough. Duncan is definitely a smart player but there's far too many times where he'll let a guy go for an uncontested dunk. Howard will never do that. Putting a guy on the line is better then letting him go in uncontested.
    You're better off going with stats. That should be a little more work than just giving us "far too many times" examples that you pulled out of your ass with no evidence to back them up. Duncan's stoned guys at the rim a number of times this year, far more than in previous years. I don't really know that he's let guys go for dunks any more or less than Howard, but if you can find a "dunks per game" defensive stat, I'm happy to admit that I'm wrong.

    Sorry for exposing the fact that the first thing you'd do when I pointed out that you're too ing stupid to look at stats is to check my spelling. If you'd like to have a discussion about why Duncan's not a good defender, then bring something of substance. If all you're going to do is imply that someone's incorrect just because you're an ass-hurt Laker fan with nothing better to do than troll, then expect sop ric tactics exposing you as such.

    Yes, Timmy has historically gotten away with murder when it comes to the zebras. I attribute much of that to his massive exposure on ESPN and how much the writers love to cover him.
    you can't let the ESPN thing go.

    In a world of hype, we just win.

    scro if you think "a case can be made for Duncan being better than Howard as a defender," then you should shoot your off so your idiotic seed has no chance of contaminating the rest of the world. If it's too late and you already have kids, then please--euthanize them, then yourself.

    OV has a library of jaw-dropping idiotic posts lately. Poor er has gone off the deep end since the Lakers beat that ass.

    Pot, meet Kettle.

    Just a question... How much time do spend a day do you spend staring into Oden's bare chest? Does that get you off?

    sorry, I don't get together with other Portland fans and claim our center is possibly better defensively than Howard.

    Yes, but I'm sure if I used advanced metrics/Hollinger bull over the 11 career games he's played and pro-rated his stats over a 3-year span, he'd easily be better than Howard.

    Oden>Howard.

    It's all in the math. Prove me wrong, scro. Do it.

    Stay tuned next week as OV attempts to convince us all Manu>Jordan.

    Should be the best episode yet.

    Yea TD's shotblocking efficiency and defensive IQ is nearly extinct in today's NBA. Dwight's a phenom of an athlete but 1/4 of his blocks are god damn goaltends and he loves to send the ball to the stands than to his own teammate. If only Duncan was still quick and mobile However if D12 ever matures his game then he'll be an even greater defensive anchor than he is now (which he's the best nowadays but he's still weak mentally)

    If it's so easy to refute, then refute it. The Spurs have the best record in the league, and Duncan's putting up amazingly efficient numbers defensively, as good as he's played in several years when you actually look at the bare stats, and even better when you start to look at how those defensive numbers influence the outcome of the game. Sorry you don't like that, but seriously, if you can't come up with anything better than "crofl scro u should die homer lol" then you should stay down at the kid's table so the grownups can debate basketball.
