Cole deserves to make a defensive team this year!

[Slot Machine]

I mean, if Bruce Bowen could make an all defensive team a few years ago, Cole should be able to do it also assuming that he can maintain this level of suffocating D for a whole season.

Cole isn't even a starter. He's playing 20 minutes a night. Give me a break.

You're gonna try to defend against my statement or are you just going to troll? I made a valid point while you seem to just change the subject all together. This is a basketball forum. Well?

That wasnt needed.

Now do yourself a favor and throw jabs at Heat players in your own forum. You should be lucky heat Mods arent like Knick mods. You'd be banned for 3 days.

You added nothing of any value. I said he's playing defense at an all-NBA level. You stated two facts that had nothing to do with what I said. I'm not quite sure where you want me to go with this.

My guess is you decided to post here because you saw Kobe's name mentioned.

...“I give Norris Cole all the credit. I like his game. He’s a tough kid,” Minnesota guard J.J Barea said. “He’s a little younger and quicker at the point, he’s also a little bit smarter. I think Spoelstra is doing a good job of putting Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole in good situations.”...

I'm just giving credits when it's due. I'm not saying that Cole will make for sure the Defensive team, I'm just saying that his level of play if maintained or improved is deserving of a defensive team selection.

Obviously he doesn't get enough minutes right now to make it. Another guy that I think was deserving of making a defensive despite not playing huge starter minutes was Sefolosha when he was on the Bulls.

Using Bowen as justification for Cole making an all defensive team goes above and beyond giving credit where credit is due.

I don't even see him at Sefolosha's level let alone Bowen's

Cole's defense has been a blessing.
And yes, with Cole in 2011 the Heat wins the chip.
