Nobody is "owning" this thread. There are a lot of good arguments on both sides.

Exactly!! Owning is when someone can't put together a logical explanation or can't rebuttal points taken.

Re: Better Defender: Gary Payton or John Havlicek
I'm inclined to agree with True and Malinhion; I didn't own writerman... I soundly refuted a couple of his points but even my own argument suggests that Havlicek is in a similar category to Payton, not that GP is so radically superior as to set himself unreachably far apart from the Glove's defense.
