Well, it's easier to play great defense when you're averaging 12 a game or a 3rd option like Dwight. Thibs could probably get 40 wins out of the Bulls with Sacre as his starting center (not a shot at Noah; he's been great).

It's easier to play good offense when you don't have to play defense (excuse James Harden). INoah is he most impressive out of the three because he plays both ends and he plays a bit like KG where he plugs every hole on both ends of the floor. A player like Noah is a luxury.

Now, if you combined Al Jefferson with Dwight Howard, you'd have the best center in the league.

I dont know about this he had a huge game but they only won by 2 in OT.

I don't see LA getting 46 again
This is why Houston's gonna win the series. Harden had a terrible game, both Aldridge and Lillard had career games and Portland had to steal it in OT after making miracle 3s and lucky tip-ins at the buzzer.

When Blake is out, and occasionally when he's in, no reason for d Jordan not to get a few post touches. For all the credit doc takes for dj improvement, I'd much rather have Jordan drawing fouls or getting 1ft shots vs the garbage I seen being thrown up in the 3rd, and other times in general.. No reason son can't get more feeds, too strong and athletic for the gs Frontline, and I don't think clippers will go next level until this element is added

Portland only got 7 out of their 122 points from their bench which is insanely low even for the worst bench in the league. It'll be tighter than you think.

I didnt say it wouldnt be tight, I said Houston was gonna win the series. Like you said, Portland's bench is trash so that output wasnt all that different from what we cqn expect anyway. On the other hand, both Dame and Lma gotta keep playing out of their minds to win.
