Current YOU'RE RIGHT tally: Kim 345, Patrick 2

[Ryan, Patrick S Maj RES USAFR 439 MSG]

Thinking back you're right - Curry has played very well against AJ - career
type games.  Kinda reinforces something I didn't mention, but what I do
feel, is that AJ is NOT a Center and is in fact a PF - period. Second, this
once more makes the argument for me IF given the choice and with no other
trades of existing players that Oden should be the pick.
 
Third, in the NBA, am I crazy or is the distinction between PF and C now
more about "the beef" when distinguishing them league-wide from PFs in most
cases??? Just curious.
 
Last, and totally unrelated - heard a rumor that NBA was considering
(basically going to make it a league rules committee item or something)
going back to the one ping pong ball per non-playoff team lottery after this
season (due to the "tanking issue").  Probably just that - a dumb rumor, but
anyone heard anything?

And I think you're very wrong about that. His defense has improved, and even
improved over the course of the season, but the only reason his +/- comes
out well is because of how high his + is. It's emphatically not just
guarding Shaq that's the issue. Compare him vs Perk playing Eddie Curry, who
is talented but not THAT good and who has eaten us alive when Al's guarding
him.  - Kim
