I would personally put Rondo in there but he doesn't seem to get the credit he deserves on things like this..

True. People just seem to focus on his main(one?) deficiency. But his defense, ability to get to the rim whenever, playmaking more than make up for it. I keep waiting for him to take that next step with his shooting but it doesn't look like he'll ever be consistent with it.

And he needs to play the regular season with the intensity he shows in the playoffs.

by LeSwagg James Fri Sep 21, 2012 4:26 am

Yeah man playoff Rondo is the best PG in the league lol.. I don't want him to develop a jumper, more problems for us Razz

by dmize Fri Sep 21, 2012 5:28 am

There's certain games where he has everything going for him, he's even hitting that 15-18 footer and 3's but then the next 5+ games he can't hit anything.

It seems to me he's a practice shooter, and it'll probably never translate to games. I remember that All-Star game HORSE where he went toe-to-toe with Durant from 3. Obviously Durant eventually won, but even Durant said he was impressed and didn't know he could shoot like that.

Dirk over Kobe, after the season Dirk just had...now I know Gil is a hater lol

Melo @ 17

by Gil Mon Sep 24, 2012 9:49 pm

He's an inefficient chucker who plays no defense and doesn't make his teammates better.

He also got shut down by Miami/LeBron in the playoffs.

Fair ranking.

Lol @ Kevin Love ahead of Melo.

5-26 without Rubio Laughing

Yeah.....like Melo would have performed differently in Love's shoes.

by Le Samourai Tue Sep 25, 2012 6:14 am

Yea....he would have

I mean.. What did he do in April last year?

Should use his early termination option and go to Chicago Sad

Dream on mate. Melo isn't going to lead ANY team in ANY direction. That's just who he is? Chicago? Thibodeu will amnesty him faster than he has ever thought of using the amnesty on Boozer Laughing

Can't play defense to save his jock. Wouldn't last a day with the Bulls.

by Le Samourai Tue Sep 25, 2012 12:17 pm

He plays good defense at the 4(better than Boozer) a d would have a chip if not for prime Kobe.

Anyway we'll see.

by The Franchise Tue Sep 25, 2012 12:22 pm

Melo too low.

I understand his critics, some of it is fair...but as a basketball player, he is much better than that.

Am I the only one who thinks Aldridge is better than Bosh?

Bosh put up 24 & 10 on over 50% shooting the season before he joined Miami.

It's only natural his numbers will decrease playing alongside 2 Top 3 players (a healthy Wade is a Top 3 player).

His importance to Miami was really magnified after his injury in the playoffs.

Nope, completely agree. This season LMA will show he's the best PF in the league.

Sorry Kevin Love has that locked up.

by dmize Wed Sep 26, 2012 4:55 am

Nah, he doesn't. He's better as of now but I'd rather have LMA, and Aldridge will surpass him this season.

LMA > Love defensively. One ">" doesn't even do justice to how much better he is.

LMA > Love offensively on the block, more polished.

Aldridge also shot over 50% while Love didn't even shoot 45. Love's numbers are better, he's the focal point of their offense. LMA is, but not to the extent of Love. Only thing I think Love is better at, is rebounding and his ability to step out and stretch defenses.

Wade isnt a top 3 player but whatever. I am not really intrested in numbers..its not numbers which makes me think LMA is better. He just has a better all around game.

He actually plays on the block, plays defence and still has the jumper.

Aldridge better? Replace Bosh with Aldridge on this current Heat team. Do you think Aldridge can do the things Bosh does?

What flop all over the place? Nah but everything else he's better at, everyone but Heat fans know this apparently.

Boshs flopping skills :bow:

by Le Samourai Thu Sep 27, 2012 2:49 am

I rate Josh Smith as highly as anyone mentioned thus far lol.

But I actually respect Bosh these days as well came up huge in the finals. He obviously has a better midrange and perimeter game, and played good defense for some stretches.

Was arguably the second most important player when fit.

His defense isn't amazing but it certainly ain't in the Kevin Love sort of sphere, he and Aldridge are around the same level there.Great team defender...actually I'm inclined to give him a slight edge on LMA.

That being said he obviously Wont have a better season than LMA while being a 3rd option.

Replace Shane Battier with Rudy Gay...can Gay do all the things Battier does for you?

So is Battier better than Gay?

Besides...what is it exactly Bosh does that LA cant?

by The Franchise Thu Sep 27, 2012 10:16 am

In no sense is Bosh the better defender than LMA Le Sam...get of it lol

For one, LMA can't play C which makes Bosh more versatile than him.

Um what? Aldridge can and has played center. And done it quite well. See: http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201104080POR.html and many more games from the end of 2010 season.
