I wonder how the other pure scorer (Carmello) in the league does against the Lakers. Im far too lazy to look it up. Just wondering......

23 and 42%, and 32 and 56% against LA.

22pts and 32 pts against Chicago.

31pts and 12 pts against SA.

Carmelo's stronger than Kevin Durant and their games are totally different. Melo's better in isolations, KD's the best off the ball scorer in the league. In different ways, they depend on their teammates. Melo needs good spacing, Durant needs good screens and bigs.

Ah Ha! Slick!

[D5150]

Actually, KD needs spacing as well. Green provided that.

Not as much as Melo does. KD can get by with good screens, making back cuts, on pin downs, etc.

[D5150]

Oh for sure Slick. Which brings us back to........why the hell did Nazr not get any run?

[inquisitive]

OKC will be just fine when they get Nazr and Perkins situated in the lineup. For Perkins though, it will be another 2 weeks. Thunder played well considering they had to use Aldrich. Lakers caught them at a good time.

i thought Aldrich did great. I'll admit I was not a big fan of him since we've had so many project centers but he is impressive so far.

His energy and length are really impressive.

I really liked him although when he was running back down the court for offense he was plodding so badly...
