    I watched a few Jazz games this past year and thought Devin was nowhere near as effective as he had been before.
    Prepare for a full on LJ storm.

    I fully expected the Spurs to sign a fourth/fifth swingman that cost them $5 million riding the IR because I knew my hero Mark Cuban would do it a year later even though he was signing a center that wouldn't ride the IR. I just said nothing at the time because I wanted ChumpDumper to live with a false sense of security for an entire year. I also knew Devin's production would drop off across the board in an expanded role in Utah which will make it a no brainer to sign him for $2 million of our MLE when we don't have any centers on the team.

    Idiot responses.

    LJ knows Devin wasn't as effective in Utah. He's not debating that.

    He's just saying that he would've have been another option for guarding Dirk in the playoffs. He did well against Dirk in stretches in the past.

    LJ is just contradicting himself in response to Devin Brown in this thread.

    How so?

    He's just saying that if Barry is gone, Devin should be an easy pickup for a 4th swingman.

    I just don't get the shock and awe. Even if you disagree with the move you should be able to at least understand it.

    I can't count on my fingers the number of times Devin guarded _irk so well.

    Then I mention that the Spurs shouldn't have gone small and played Rasho or Nazr because it won us 63 games.

    He then says when did the regular season count?

    Devin never played against a playoff Mavs team so in thoery the only time Devin could have guarded _irk was in the regular season, when according to LJ, nothing counts.

    I understand it was for money.

    Do me a favor and post the insider scouting report on Devin. We are all dying to see it.

    Have you read his posts, he's saying more than that. Like Devin would have been the second best defender against _irk and we would of won the series.

    Devin obviously would have been the 2nd best defender against Dirk.

    The Spurs had Bowen, then no one decent to cover Dirk.

    But who knows what would have happened in the series.

    Brown and Bryant S h had one of the highest similarity Scores at 99.7. Both were chunky 6-5 guys who rebound well for their size, scored inside or out, but shot a low percentage. Brown hasn't played a lot of minutes, but he's been an underrated sub in his three years in San Antonio because he defends well, plays two positions, and can hit an open shot.

    One would think that would create free-agent demand for him, but it doesn't appear to be in the cards. Brown had back trouble toward the end of last season and a lot of teams shied away from him because of it. He hadn't signed with anyone at publication time, but I would expect him to re-sign with San Antonio by the time camp opens. If that's the case and the back is OK, he'll continue to provide one of the league's best deep reserves, as well as one of the least expensive.

    Um, no its not.

    If the regular season doesn't count. Why are you touting Devin's regular season defensive skills?

    Where did I say they would have won the series? Link?

    And yes, Devin would have been the best or second best defender on Dirk on this team. Who do you propose is better other than Bruce at guarding Dirk?

    Got damn this is like arguing with a damn 13 year old.

    It didn't matter who they put on him, the guy was insane, having his best playoff series ever.

    It wasn't about him, he didn't beat us.

    It was the fact that AJ owned Pop in that series.

    , Pop was just not him self from the get go.

    He used THREE different centers against SAC in the first round.

    I said the number of regular seasons wins doesn't mean shyt come the playoffs. That is a seperate issue of how players matchup to other players.

    No one.

    Bowen is our best defender, he's the best on Dirk. Fact, fact, fact.

    But Bowen couldn't do anything and neither would Devin Brown.

    Until the Heat guarded him with a thick guy who can rebound.

    Do you watch basketball?

    Can you read? That wasn't the question.

    WHO ON THE SPURS TEAM OUTSIDE OF BOWEN CAN GUARD DIRK AS WELL AS DEVIN CAN?

    I watched that series the guy was missing wide open threes after wide open three.

    He choked, simple as that.

    Exactly. Success in the regular season means nothing -- team wise.

    I didn't say player matchups have no barring from the regular season to the playoffs.
