You rely on "stats" ( which,by the way , you once told me I shouldn't use because they were useless) that are hung on opinion.......many,many of us knowledgeable people need only to see what he does in the field to have seen more than enough of this klutz.

That's fine. But what does it really cost them?? I actually made the effort to quantify what his poor defense costs them. I'm sure teams do this. What his "poor" defense costs them is minimal at most. He makes the routine plays and turns the DP. Stats are what they are. Opinion has not much to do with it. I forget which stats I told you were useless.

In the end, our little debates get heated and I probably spout ridiculous things at times, but I honestly try to defend my opinions. You honestly know your stuff quite well, but I do too. Though I disagree overall about Peralta and LeBron you have good points about both...but I think you take it way too far in your criticisms.

I try to hang in thee with you to no avail but the effort is always there. LeBron made some mistakes last night without question.
