*Swish* Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I take Al Horford ANY DAY. [expletive] Brook Lopez honestly... I mean.. he doesn't play defense and is a horrible rebounder. Al Horford is a very good defender and rebounder. Ok Brook is maybe better offensively but DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS AND GAMES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Horford is a very good defender and rebounder. Ok Brook is maybe better offensively but DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS AND GAMESSince when does Brook Lopez not play defense? It's pretty close but I'd the rebounding from C over the elite scoring. If they were both PF give me Brook but your C has to rebound.

Guest N/A Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Al Horford in a landslide. There's a reason Horford made the ASG the last two years instead of Lopez... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Al Horford in a landslide. There's a reason Horford made the ASG the last two years instead of Lopez...Because of the fans? I take Horford as well but not by much. If Brook learns to rebound one of these days then he has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guru Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) You think that Doc Rivers and Stan Van Gundy don't know basketball?lmao. Way to take that out of context.I just think using All-Star game selections to prove that a player is better is a poor method. Once again, I agree Horford is better but your reasoning is way off.

Once again, I agree Horford is better but your reasoning is way off. Honestly, I think Lopez is a better center than Horford is but Horford is a better overall player so he wins. Horford's natural position is PF and he deserves to play there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Horford's better for the reason Guru stated. If Lopez could give you 9 or 10 RPG then he'd be better, but I rather have Horford because of what he can give you on the glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universe Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Everyone acts like Lopez can't rebound. His last season and the season before that he put up eight rebounds per game. He got mono in the offseason and lost a ton of weight which you can clearly see which leads me to believe that once this offseason is finished and he's got the weight on again, he will easily be at least a 20 and 8 center which is good.

But for a 7' Center 8 rebounds is still not very good. He needs to be a 20/10 guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the last time we've had a seven footer put up more than 8 RPG and we have Kris Humphries, who is grabbing almost 10 RPG in 25 minutes which is at the top of the league.

Buckets! Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I [expletive]ing hate when everybody says 7 footer should always get 10 rebounds. SHUT UP! No they [expletive]ing don't, 7 rebounds is fine enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I hate to be redundant, but I am choosing Horford over Lopez because of his rebounds. Yes you can say Lopez has got 6 rebounds per game and that's enough, and I am fine with that as long as he is rebounding at a consistent rate. That is not the case.

Universe Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Lopez screwed his offseason again so instead of lifting weights, he will be rehabbing. Hopefully he can at least add some weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakersfan91 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Lmao @7 rebounds is enough from your STARTING Center... Smh... Lopez can't rebound at all. Look at Love look at Dwight... Tell them 7 rebounds is ok... Maybe by half-time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakersfan91 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 When u r 7 foot, 5 rebounds are going to bounce your way every game... Rebounding is all about effort and fundamentals (foot work, positioning, timing) so I hate when I see someone a lot shorter work a lot harder to out rebound someone. The problem is Brook always had Robin on his team up until they were drafted... Robin worked hard and hustle and made life easy for Brook to just focus on scoring. Together they were almost unstoppable... Too bad Brook allowed himself to be lazy and let his bro grab all the boards and play great D growing up.

Was Jason Collins being lazy letting him grab all the rebounds? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakersfan91 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Well the vote is 11-2 so obviously your just being bias... Nothing wrong with sticking up for your guys and your team but the answer is Horford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
