When the Pheonix Suns are more physical there is a problem. We made Channing Frye and Grant Hill look powerful for crying out loud. Tyler is built like a linebacker so we should use him to inject our team with energy when they play like wussies. Everybody knows we lack a PF and Tyler is the best 4 on our squad when compared to McBob, or Posey, they are closer to a 3.

In order for our team to succeed we need to add toughness, and I'll be damned if it isn't sitting on our bench.

Obie is psychotic.

it appears we each have valid points, so we can agree to disagree as usual. I think we can also both agree that an upgrade is needed at the 4 spot regardless.

For what its worth I think Hansbrough is a pretty good on balll defender. I recall the game against the Clippers. Early in the game Griffen was getting alot around the basket. Later, when Hansbrough was in the game that stopped. I also think he is a pretty good scorer. Next to Roy he has the best post up game of anyone else on the team. Admitedly that may not be saying much.

We are a long way from getting the better of the match up at the 4 and 5 against the Hawks. I'd like to think we could get the better of the matchups at the other positions though. Tonight Granger was terrible and so were our point guards (Ford and Collison).

I agree. He might be weak on the perimeter depending on who he is guarding but in the post he is very solid.

His post game has improved a good bit from last year too ( offensively in general ). He got blocked a good bit last year but this year it hasnt been a problem at all. I cracked a smile when he drained the jumper against the Bobcats earlier in the season.. Then him fighting off a smile when he was at the line to seal the deal.. He has a killer instinct.

That smirk was priceless.
