Yeah, let's trade for De'Andre Jordan!!!

Lee's defense is a lot better than anybody gives him credit for.

[quote="StutterStep"]Did David Lee's people hire a new PR firm who in turn hired a street team to keep his name out there? What is the goal to pressure Walsh into keeping DaLee, or have people believe he's a better player than Bosh?

Too many David Lee threads![/quote]


and you still playing Kenyon Martin, that tells me all I need to know.

What a funny thread. The guy talks about working to expand his game, and people are upset?
We're looking at a hard working talented player who is having a breakout season and reaching allstar levels of performance. And he is trying to expand his game and get better. This is a good thing, people!

Those two combined things are probably the hardest to work on at the same time. Have you ever lifted weights then went and played basketball? Your arms feel like jelly to begin with, and then after a couple days of adding muscle you go back and work on your jumper and you feel like your starting all over again. Lee has one of the best work ethics in the game, so im sure he could do it, just saying its hard for a guy that hasnt always had a jumper to go back and get stronger while keeping his jumper.
Go Knicks!

If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.

I don't want to question your intelligence, but if you would look at my username and the script underneath Kenyon Martin, then you will understand why he's currently my avatar. :roll:

Curry is a better defender than Lee because he will actually block a shot or 2 in a season.

The board roasted him saying he needed to become a better defender. Lee says the EXACT same thing even worse from the 3? Why would Lee be that far from the basket anyway?

I guess he would then have an excuse for lowered rebounding stats.

We can only pray Lee can be as offensively talented as Randolph but neither play D. Like I said Lee gets a pass on defense but Curry and Randolph didn't. Im confused.

David thing is on the Defensive boards anyway. He STAYS away from the offensive boards so as not to pickup stupid fouls, He's great on following his shots anyway.


Do YOU,,,,,,, D-Leeeee and see you in the next 10 All_star Games.


I sometimes get the feeling that Mike D has jedi powers that bring out the best in a basketball player. Oh, and I'm glad he's on our side...I wonder what he could do with LeBron.

The difference between Curry and Lee over the course of Lee's career in shots is exactly .25 a game. yes, that's a quarter of a block a game.

We can only pray Lee can be as offensively talented as Randolph.


Really? How many points a game is the .100 point fall-off in field goal percantage and sucking the air outta ball movment worth exactly?
