Defence? What Defence? Offense vs Defense.

[TheSheriff]

Timmy is averaging 19 a game this season, and has a career scoring average of 21. Could probably score 40 once a season in his prime, can barely score 30 this season.

Garnett is getting 18 a game this season, and has a career scoring average of 20. Could probably scored 40 once a season in his prime, can barely score 30 this season.

Kobe is getting 28 a game this season, and has a career scoring average of 25 [including his first two seasons, which isn't fair to even include against Kevin and Tim as they both played much more in their first two seasons than Kobe]. Could easily erupt for 40 this season, and scored 81 in a gamed two seasons ago, and had dropped 50 in a few consecutive games last season.

Lets compare apples to apples, not oranges. Duncan and Garnett defense is much more important than the 18-19 points the provide a game. Kobe's [overrated] defense is much less important than his scoring abilities.

Kobe would look much more at home on the offensive team, where I believe Duncan and Garnett look much more at home on the defensive team.

I said put kobe on the offense team. But he is a dominant two way player, just like KG and Duncan are dominant two way players. They each can make a huge impact on offense, KG has 20,000 career points for crying out loud.

Kobe is offense first, defense second. Of course he would be on the offensive team.

Duncan and Garnett are defense first, offense second, therefor belong on the defensive team.

You can't make a purely defensive team without two way players, cause then they'd struggle to score more than 40 points in a game.

If you pur the better at Offense, why not kobe in Defense? he is one of the best there if he have to focus in D.



(you can also put him in offense team)

Didn't Garnett have multiple 40 point games just last season....

You're missing the point. The offensive team you put down plays crap defense - the defensive team you put down has some of the best offensive bigs in the game. It isn't a defensive team if they are great offensive players also...

Putting KG and Duncan on the defensive team is like putting Kobe and Chris Paul on the offensive team.

once again i'll take the defensive team. A KG Duncan frontcourt = unstoppable.
