David Lee is not as good as he thinks he is

[Chris22]

Lee apparently thinks he is a point guard. He constantly drives the lane and gets stuffed by bigger players, and he tries to bring the ball up, as if he is a guard. I'm not saying he is a bad player, but he doesn't seem to know his limitations.

Do you really need to post new threads for all of these thoughts?

[MJohnnyboy]

There's a thread where you can talk about how you felt about last night. I'll even give you the link.

Sure. It seems pretty obvious to me.
Noel stuffed him several times.

An athletic shot blocker blocked David Lee several times? Didn't see that coming... 

Lee is still good, maybe Noel is just on the verge of being an elite defender? I mean that kind of makes sense right?

Sorry to give you bad news.

Terrible thread, unfounded and not well thought out at all. Will not read again. Bump.

The first stage is denial.

Why do people feel the need to comment to just say the thread is dumb or shouldn't have been made. Who cares it's an internet message board.

About Lee taking the ball up court after a rebound, I think this is by design and not Lee playing out of position. Last year we used Turner to help out running the O in the 1st unit. Smart has improved but I think the idea right now is to have Lee help him a bit. Whenever Lee gets a rebound I think he has been told to bring the ball up the court and start the O. Lee is capable and it gives of a different look once and a while.

David Lee is much better than you think he is. Next thread.

I get that. But it's the drives to the hoop that are so weak. As I said, he doesn't seem to know his limitations. His high post passing is good, however.

Lee has been effective in the league for a long time. I'll trust his own take on his game more than yours.

Let's cool it with some of the snark. At the same time, it might make sense to wait more than one game to make pronouncements about any of our players, especially the new guys.

And you are wrong.

Lee seems to have lost it.
