Mo Williams is the worst defender in the history of the NBA

[williams22]

Cavs are gonna use the rest of the regular season to gel this new lineup. I still think they made too many moves but they are the team to beat in the east just like last year.

Obviously they are far from where they could be, but the offense wasn't an issue tonight. It's on the defensive end that's the issue. Jamison works beautifully off of Lebron. He's a crafty finisher around the rim, much like Varejao, only his jumper is very respectable as well. The Cavs spacing was beautiful with him on the court.

Getting Z back will help big time on defense. 25 days to go...

[Mac4Lyfe]

His shot is off right now, not just in numbers, but you can see his trajectory is much lower than usual. I think his shoulder is either bothering him more than he will let on, or he is still babying it.

Regardless, Jamison looked great tonight. I doubt Hickson is going to see much time from here on, and that's fine. Also, Shaq has been a beast lately.

Here are some stat's prior to his injury... It's pretty clear that Mo is inconsistent and will show up every few games. Unfortunately, he's a no show on way too many occasions.

The formatting sucks but the last column was his shooting percentage.

No that title goes to Mike Bibby, good day

You've got to be kidding me??? Bibby runs circles around Mo on defense. Have you ever seen Bibby get abused over and over again? Have you ever seen teams run pick and roll through Bibby on EVERY play???

Mo by far is the worst defender in the NBA. Name me someone else

Bibby is quite possibly worse. Remember the back-to-back games with the Hawks? After Mo dropped 20 on him in the first game they wouldn't let Bibby guard Mo and instead tried to hide him on AP.

Anyways, again, there were some positives tonight for the Cavs. I couldn't be happier that we got Jamison instead of Amare, especially for the price.

Mo was an All Star last year...and well deserved. Right now, he os not 100% and his defense is suffering from it.

[dynamite140]

Try Chris Quinn

[stealthyburrito]

he was picked up to supplement LBJ on the offensive side, not so much on the D side. So, hes fulfilling his purpose

Huh?? Mo became an All star after several guys ahead of him got hurt and/or decided not to play. He was an alternate of an alternate. Plus the All Star game has no defense so he fit right in

What was his excuse when he was 100%? He still didn't play defense...

[HCBoone]

Gibson got some defense. Mo is far better offensivley though.

Cavs got great defense with Z and Shaq on the floor, it won't be a problem. Cavs are bringing it home this year.

Were have you been?? Z is currently out of town on a different team, but I can't think which one, but one of the other guys will tell you.

I have been right here. Z is coming back he won't sign for some other team.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Cav's have to wait 30 days to resign big Z, provided of course if the Wiz buy him out...

[cecbo]

Cavs should be the fav in the finals to my Lakers or anybody else in the West, but they will have a difficult time getting through the East.

Bobcats have their number this year and are looking like a possible 1st Rd opponent.
Celtics or Hawks may be the 2nd Rd and they haven't looked good against the Hawks the past 2 years.
Orlando in the Conference Finals will be another difficult one to beat after winning the Conference last year and appear to be putting it all together now.

If the Lakers or Nuggets make it to the Finals against anyone else but the Cavs, the Western Conference team will take home the Championship.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Charlotte is the Cav's achilles heel but the other teams in the East should be easy outs. Atlanta does not match up well with Cleveland and the C's are one year older. unless kryptoNate brings much needed blood off the bench the Cav's should have an easy time with the C's. I also like the Cav's chances against the Magic this year. Vince Carter is not as clutch as Turkoglu and they have taken a step back IMO losing Hedo. The Cav's should win the East but I can think of several teams in the west that would hurt the Cav's in a 7 game finals. Lakers, Nugget's, Spurs and Utah would all be tough outs for the Cav's.

Charlotte presents similar matchup problems to Orlando last year in that they have large wings, a stretch 4, and love to run 3-4 pick and rolls. That being said, I really don't see them being an issue in a 7-game series.

The Cavs matchup very well with Boston now, especially since Pierce is getting older and doesn't stand of a chance of sticking with Lebron. Also, we used to get killed inside against Boston, but with Shaq now I don't think that will happen.

I still think Orlando got worse this year with the addition of Carter in place of Hedo. The Cavs lost the last game because they were trying to fit Jamison and Mo in the lineup and were without a backup Center. Z should be back by the playoffs and will be able to buy Shaq some time.

Whoever said the Cavs haven't looked great against the Hawks the last two years is absolutely crazy. The Cavs won both matchups this year, and swept the Hawks in last year's playoffs, winning by an average of something like 18 points per game!

[williams22]

Just a note here, it's 30 days from the trade, not from the buyout date. I believe this means somewhere around 3/20 he will be eligible to return.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Fuk you Mo Williams... Learn to play some dam defense...

Bump

[Mac4Lyfe]

Rondo torching him tonight. Now Nate Robinson is piling on in his ass as well. Whenever Mo Will is on the floor, teams go right at him and his man has historic games... This shit is unwatchable.

[williams22]

Eddie House is now officially worse than Mo Williams. Delonte is toying with him.

[whatsgood5]

Not just Eddie House, the whole Knicks team might be the worst defenders in the NBA. Playing no defense or help defense whatsoever. Giving up 38 points in one quarter is not too impressive.

[Mac4Lyfe]

No D in Knicks. Plus they are turning the ball over every other trip. This Knicks team is horrible yet they are only down 13 right now???

[Mac4Lyfe]

House does look awful out there. Cav's going after him like teams go after Mo.

[williams22]

Delonte West's 1-on-1 game is as good as any non-All-star in the league. The guy understands angles, spacing, and change of speeds as well as anyone.

[williams22]

Wow I've never seen a guy take a reverse alleyoop from so far away.

[williams22]

WOW! Delonte throws down on McGrady!

[whatsgood5]

Wow I've never seen a guy take a reverse alleyoop from so far away.

That was absolutely nuts, it's a shame it didn't count. There's still nothing more exciting than watching Lebron play though IMO.

[Law-Byrnes]

Hahahaha wtf? Ellis, Ginobli, Evans, Butler, Tmac, Deng. The list has to be over 30.

[williams22]

He even impressed/surprised himself on that one. He watched it on the big screen afterwards. If I were Mo or Delonte I would purposefully throw bad alley-oop passes just to see what Lebron is really capable of, cuz I'm not even convinced he knows.

[lakerboy]

Knicks care less about defense than any team in the NBA.

[williams22]

Hahahaha wtf? Ellis, Ginobli, Evans, Butler, Tmac, Deng. The list has to be over 30.

Some of those have been/will be all-stars, Delonte never will. His 1-on-1 game is incredible deliberate and amazingly good.

[mkasad23]

hes no where near as bad defender as jose calderon...calderon is on a whole level of his own and hes totally starting to piss me off

[Law-Byrnes]

Gotcha, you meant ever. I didn't take the time to think outside of this year which I thought you were referring to.

[williams22]

The thing I enjoy most is watching D'Antoni faking to be upset by it.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Mo Williams once again stinking up the joint. Fuker can't guard a slug driving to the basket.

Plus, this guy shot 3 for 17 last night.

When the hell is Boobie coming back???

[G's pks]

Saw him moving out of the way to let players drive to the basket on Friday terrible!
