no it doesnt.

Actually, it does. It prevents every post player in the league from scoring 40 points on us, like they did last year, becasue we had no freaking size to push people out of the paint.

But i'm sure its the same thing.[smilie=reporter.gi: :rolleyes:

Dude, saying shaq is quicker than ANYONE is just wrong.

not pryz. believe that. and i said more athletic. i said zo was quicker and he is by far.

"more athletic" doesnt help him defend pick and rolls if it has nothing to do with his feet......

He isn't a plodding stiff. That's simply not true. You don't block 2.5 shots playing only half the game without being athletic.

not really. i'd put my money on bosh, shaq, and every athletic big man in the league to school him. he can't recover once he gets beat. help out blocker. not one on one defender in the least bit.

Uh, yeah. Bosh is a PF, not a C. And of course he's quicker, he's a special player.

and BTW, nobody ever mistook Ben Wallace for a great one-on-one defender either. He didnt get beat often, but other centers backed him down and scored over the top of him a ton. His slaim to fame was as a basket protector, whis is EXACTLY what Joel is.

I'd also wager he guards shaq a ton better than Ben did. You dont need skill to guard shaq anymore, you simply need bulk.

So Ben wasnt covering guards on the perimeter when required? Yea lets see how that looks with pryz. But you're gonna spin every comparisom i give tonite as part of controlling the damage of replacing YOUR admitted most hated player on the team. So screw comparisoms. I'll just leave you with the Pryz i saw wasn't a starter quality player.

You are gonna be doing damage control all night i see. Have fun with it Chris Mckloskey. I hope they pay you well.:cool:

Top 10 shot-blockers in the NBA. Apparently Pryzbilla, despite his plodding feet, was a better shot-blocker than Ben Wallace's very athletic feet last year....

and in per-48, Przybilla was #5 in the entire league.

Give the kid a chance if Dumars believes in him that much.

1.) he's not a kid. he's a vet :)
2.)You have the inside track on whether Joe Believes in him or is just grabbing whats available?

Maybe you are Chris.:eek: :rolleyes:

He's as much a vet as Ben was when we got him. A lot of years, not much chance to shine.

Do you think Joe believed in Ben, or was he just grabbing what was available?

I don't take Joe for an idiot.

HE IS NOT BEN. HE IS NOT UNIQUE OR OUT OF THE ORDINARY AT ALL. AND YOU HAVEN't COME CLOSE TO PROVING AS MUCH.

Clear enough? you hang on to that excuse and its the lamest thing on earth. they arent in the same ballpark. But keep spinning until your head comes off your neck.
