just noticed 7 of 8 2nd round teams have a legit 7' or so starting center...Miami the exception.

Lopez
Duncan
Jordan
Perkins
Garnett
Gortat
Hibbert

We should probably try and get a guy like that.

That means Bosh is the best Center in the league. 2x NBA Champion, wuddup.

Sadly I don't think Garnett is a legit center anymore.......

Not looking great these days... 

Brook Lopez is the starting center, though obviously out.  They're both 7' and play center-like though.

I'm not sure Brook Lopez will be the same after all those foot injuries.

He's having the same surgery Zydrunas had, so I think he will have a solid career in the future.

I think he meant Robin Lopez on that list.

Yes, but ironically his brother's team (BKN) is also in the 2nd round.

Kawhi Leonard looked more uncomfortable in that interview than he did with anything Portland's defense tried on him.

So you're saying Kelly is our center? I wanted him to play PF while Sully took C, oh well, as long as both are starting, I'm fine with it.
It takes me 3hrs to get to Miami and 1hr to get to Orlando... but I *SPIT* on their NBA teams! "Bless God and bless the (Celts)"-Lady GaGa (she said gays but she really meant Celts)

I'd love to see the Spurs make it back to the Finals and set things right by beating Miami like they should have last season if not for that late collapse. It would be great to see Duncan get another ring and I love the way San Antonio plays. Such great balance offensively.

They did beat Miami...if it didn't came down to that Ray Allen 3-pointer in Game 6.

Tim Duncan is still the best offensive player on the Spurs, even if it doesn't necessarily show up in the box score so often any more.  Just watch him for a handful of possessions.  He does so many little things that help generate open looks for his teammates.  Fascinating to watch.
