Ben Wallace is just too old. Surely you are not trying to throw the name "ben wallace" out there like it still means something are you? He is a body at this point...an extra 6 fouls that can give minutes and maybe snag some boards. His days of being mentioned as a top interior defender are well behind him.

Regardless of how "soft" he is or whatever knocks people want to throw at him, make no mistake that Pau Gasol is one of the top five post players in the game and in his prime and there isnt a player on Cleveland that can guard him one on one. You can't double him and kobe.

Pau gasol is a good player but hardly needs to be doubled.

Well, maybe Cleveland should start doubling him. Against them this year, he was 17-28 from the field while averaging 20 points and 12.5 rebounds.

In the last game in cleveland, Odom and Gasol combined for 46 points and 19 rebounds against ben wallace and company and that was the cavs only home loss of the season. Then again, Delonte West wasnt playing that game.

*side note- Delonte west is a solid NBA player and he is having a very good postseason. He is tough, smart and is able to hit the big shot when left open. I just scoff at the idea that he is any kind of impediment for kobe.

2 games doesnt make a trend. The one game Odom was out of his mind. I dont expect that to happen again. Plus the one x factor that Cleveland has is if its big men are having trouble with Gasol they can have LeBron take care of him.

I would hate to see LA overlook Denver and miss out on Lebron opening a can of Whup Ass on Kobe. Change of the guard this year in June.
