Exactly man. The Knicks are the same way (though they improved a lot this year with chandler) and just because you can pull a stat out your butt doesn't make you knowledgeable

Actually overall LA had a good D. The achilles heel for LA and what has always been even back in the Shaq days was their inability to defend against the pick and roll. Westbrook murdered them b/c of this. Also another issue LA had was that their offense was horrible. You have a team that virtually grew up in the triangle all of sudden switch to a traditional offense with Derek Fisher/Blake and Ramon Sessions at the helm? Then add in the fact they really didnt have guys that can spread the floor is a recipe for disaster. Guys basketball is a 2fold game at the same time. You cannot play bad offense and great defense and expect to win. This isnt football where your defense can CYA for you (ala 2000 Baltimore Ravens). If you cant create easy shots on offense and become too predictable that makes life 10x easier for the other team on offense.

Now that Dwight is there and MWP is supposedly in serious shape this will alleviate alot of Pick and Roll issue. Nash is the ultimate playmaker on offense. Dwight is the 2nd most efficient PnR finisher in the league, now add that to Nash? It becomes real dangerous when Kobe has to become the afterthought on who to stop when dealing with LA. Lets not forget the bench upgrades. Jamison is a capable starter and Jodie Meeks is a good spot up guy. Not a great bench but far from inept like last year.

I laugh at all of you all that dont know anything about basketball
To say hibbert is overrated is just stupid and to say he didnt do anything in the playoffs goes to show poeple watch the games but have no clue what they are watching. In that miami series when they made an effort to get hibbert the ball they won when they didnt they lost it was that simple. Hibbert is a highly skilled offensive center in some ways better than dwight howard / he is more polished offensively and a good shot blocker but howard is a better rebounder. Its hard to produce when you dont get the ball. he havent even peaked yet when he does him and and Al jefferson will be the top centers in the league mark my words

Dwight averages 2.2 BPG while Hibbert 1.6 and somehow is the better shot blocker..the logic astounds me

I actually think that Hibbert is, typically, underrated in terms of people's general opinion of him. He's a solid player. However, I believe that even most Pacers fans would consider him overrated at an 86. I'd be very surprised to see him still at 86 by release.

The other thread said he is a 78 or 79 I forget.
86 is WAY WAY WAY to high . Idk what they could have possibly rose so high to get him to a 86!
