Biggest difference between Hill and Patterson is that Hill is an athlete. Patterson is a basketball player.

Not even convinced he is an athlete now. He doesn't jump as high as i thought he did. His hops are quite average.

Griffin is noticeably a couple inches taller than Hayes. Nobody is lying.

probably, but he might have problems. Dirk is a shooter. Chuck is a low post defender and has problems when someone shoots over him and thus has to get in position to push the player out further. However, Dirk has range though. We'll see.

I was thinking the same thing. Sadly we might see more HIll tomorrow just because he has long arms... Or maybe it would be best to put Battier on him especially since Butler is out.
Doesn't matter who is on Dirlk, who is going to guard terry and Barea?

(On Chuck’s defense): I tell this story all the time. When I had Buck Williams, Buck used to guard Karl Malone and all these guys and he’d always tell me, ‘He’s going to score 25 but he’s going to work his [butt] off to score. And in the fourth quarter I’m going to wear him down – I’m not going to give him anything easy.’ And with Chuck, nothing’s easy. If you’re going score, you’re going to have to earn it. And I think that has an effect on a guy when he’s guarding him. It took me a long time but I figured out he’s going to have to play more minutes.
He’s as good as any defender in the league in the low post. I’m going to start talking to coaches at the end of the year when they [vote for] the defensive teams. If he’s not on one of the defensive teams something’s wrong. This guy for two years has been 6-6 playing center against all these people and he defends them as well as anybody and he deserves the credit for it.
