I wasn't saying Asik wasn't doing his best against Aldridge. when I said it should be Dwight's responsibility to defend Aldridge, it should be. Aldridge is insane to begin with but in this series you'd think someone on Houston kicked his grandma. So you'd think the guy who has won the defensive player of the yr. award would and should be up for the challenge?
personally I think Dwight is a twit who will never get it(esp. at this point). he's the ultimate garbage man and he should have embraced that a long time ago. instead, before gm 2 he comes out and says "gimme the ball!!!". the game was over right there. he should have said "I got Aldridge!!!". everything kobe believed about Dwight is true.
I don't disagree with anything that you said, but I would still be through the moon if we ever were able to get Dwight to the Celtics...I guess I'm a total sell-out
Don't want Howard anymore on this team...
Hes going to be 29 this year, and while hes a great shot blocker, where are his post moves? He still doesn't have any refined post moves, and if he didn't have such a strong body, and crazy vertical for his size... Last night he did show some array of moves, but they were moves that any great defender like Noah/Gasol has stopped in the past.
I would prefer us to try to get Marc Gasol/Noah.
Those two are not only great defensive leaders, but excellent at passing. Something that surprises me considering Howard, despite being double teamed in Magic, has never ever eclipsed more than 2 APG.
Not too many players can fight Father time, and Howard is going to definitely hit rock bottom the moment hes past the age of 32/33.
