Re: 4/1 - 4/6 Games Discussion Thread

Big Al is probably the most skilled big man in the league, especially with his back to the basket. He takes more shots because of that reason. You don't need to look at stats to see that.

You would take him over Randolph back to basket?

Al has the best post moves, he's not the best all around offensive center.. He's not as good facing up, hitting jumpers, passing out of the post, putting the ball on the floor, etc.. He's just better down on the block.

I think I would. But I think ZBo is a little better in the face up game. Little quicker, better short jumper.

I would say that's a tough call. ZBO is just as tough as anyone in the paint.

So who's the best all-around center offensively? There's Cousins, but he hasn't really put it all together yet.

So ready for BKN-MIA tonight, bad blood between the players always makes for a good game.

Al Horford doesn't get much credit in ATL, but he has a nice all around offensive game. Pretty good defender as well, shame that he got injuried this season.

I'll take big Al's back to the basket game over ZBO's.

Tough to say. Just centers Big Al is up there, I'd say the group would be Al, Cousins, Lopez, Noah, Duncan, and both Gasols.. They all bring something different, Noah and both Gasols more so for their passing ability.

If we can consider power forwards I think Dirk, Blake, LA, and Love.. With Davis in the discussion as well. There offensive games are a little more complete than what Al brings... And a lot of them can play minutes at the center spot.

I like how Hibbert became the Best Center in the East by beasting on the Heats non existent bigs.

People get too caught up in the moment and it's even worse when it comes to PGs.

As for who's better offensively between Jefferson and Lopez...I'll leave that one alone but will admit that Jefferson would be everyone's choice right now and rightfully so because Lopez has been out most of the season.

Re: 4/1 - 4/6 Games Discussion Thread

I'm in the boat that Noah is the best center in the East. He outplayed Brook last year in the playoffs. Hibbert is overrated in the sense that people think he is type of big that can get you 20 and 10. He benefits from being the type of big that can give Miami trouble because he is good enough to score over a lack of great size.

I've never considered him a very good offensive player and while he has improved a lot defensively especially since Indiana has allowed him to play back on pick and rolls and go straight up. I would rather have Noah due to his ability to switch pick and rolls and stay with perimeter players, his passing ability and is ability to crash the boards.
