This Celts/Magic game is amazing.

Carlos Arroyo is dreadful.

Rajon Rondo Dream Shook Dwight Howard on a straight post up. It was crazy.

Hedo has really come into his own this year. Add another team with 3 players better than our best to the list.

Woops, misread what you said.

But I don't think Rashard Lewis is better than Redd... and I certainly don't think Hedo is better.

Turk is not better than Redd. Do you realize what Redd would be doing with Howard? Open 3's all day long. He'd have the top FG% of his career there, easy.

You could see Howard smiling with the "You got me" look as it was rolling in.

I'm glad people love Redd so much for scoring alot of points on a crap team. Hedo scores alot of points on a very good team, while being a better rebounder, passer, defender, leader, and clutch player than Redd.

There is no arguing who is having the better year.

Hedo is a horrible defender. He's had one great half of a season, playing with the most dominant big in the game probably, and that makes him better than Redd? No.

If Redd was in the same role on the Magic he would be doing at least what Hedo is.

And the winning team argument means little. They aren't winning because of Hedo. Hedo is their third best player. They are winning because Howard is a manchild, and they added Rashard Lewis.

I think that he'd be sitting on the bench for his refusal to throw the ball to Howard in the post.

Yeah, we've really seen Redd break out since Bogut starting playing well. He looks really comfortable with the inside out game. the way he selflessly defers to the post man is incredible. His post entry passes are flawless. I particularly like how patient he is, and how he's rarely forced a shot.

Umm, comparing a one month stretch of Bogut playing well to Howard, is really just not smart.

Hedo isn't a better player than Redd, sorry. He is playing the same minutes a night as Redd and is shooting 43.5% from the field. He's averaging 1.3 more boards and .7 more assists, while playing just as bad if not worse defense.

You can't compare the two. If Redd had a big like Howard he would have the best year of his career.

People love empty stats on an awful team.

You ignore who Turkoglu is playing with, but then say Redd's stats are empty. Not everything is black and white. I want to trade Redd as well, but Hedo is not a better player than him.

The question is, would Redd's game open up playing the third option to 2 other 20 point scorers? Or would he simply not get as many shots and kind of disappear on the court entirely? Neither is a sure bet.

Redd has never played with another 20 point scorer, and apparently thats the way he likes it.

Redd sure hates playing on the olympic team with all those other 20 point scorers.

Hedo freakin' Turkoglu is better then Redd?? You're hated for Michael Redd is obsurd.
