Who was on the 2011 Kings? They sound like a team that could be easily beaten by a Kyle Lowry/James Harden backcourt and a staunch, tough, totes healthy Bogut/Stoudemire frontcourt.
In all honesty, if injuries didn't matter and this game was a video game, I still like that team better in theory.
Yeah in theory Derrick Williams should be able to guard Lebron James of 2011-2012. But then again in theory, being six foot tall I should be able to dunk, even at 47 years old. In theory.
Ha, we'll DW being able to guard Lebron wasn't the biggest part of my defense. It was more centered around Amare still being the amare he looked like during his first half season with the Knicks.
There was also something in there about Bogut being some great center....something like that. And....I guess he is but then again so is Greg Oden.
For 2/3 of a beautiful season Bogut looked like the uncontested 2nd best center in the league, with a pretty convincing case for DPOY. Whenever I see Andrew Bogut, I plan to say, 'We'll always have 2010, big guy.'
Have you followed Bogut this season? His play has been underwhelming (not bad, just rusty) and he went down. But he's one tough sonofabiscuit. I love his quotes.
Speaking of tough guys, Nik Pekovic, I love that guy.
