Without Yao and the limping McGrady, this team is playing at a much faster pace - which jumped from 90 (19th in the league last season) to 94.4 (11th in the league). This season, we're averaging 104 ppg while giving up 100 ppg. Last year, we averaged 98 ppg and gave up 94 ppg. Compare this year's offensive rating and defensive rating to that of last year's, and you'll see that the offense has improved (not by much tho) but the defense has gotten much worse.

I think I have my new sig! :D

Hey man.. can you make a gif or youtube video of that exchange between Landry and Mutombo? The one where he blocked Rudy Gay's dunk. That was awesome, Mutombo has always been one of my favorite players, I even use his finger wag in games haha.


Here's a youtube link to the Finger Wag Salute

If I can find a way to download the video then I can make some gifs of it for you. If you come across one let me know.

if you're running more, you're bound to give up more points
