weird there was no howard in this video.

also considering the circumstances, no way lebrons nearly below the rim block of iverson was better than roses block.

If the NBA is going to make its starts into God's

(automatically giving James and Wade the best blocks), then wouldn’t a game-winning attempt that got blocked (by Tyrus) be that much better?

Brook Lopez better start going up stronger than that lol! D Rose was extremely focused on the Rondo play. He did a great job of staying in front of him and showed excellent timing and defensive instincts (using his left hand) to make the block. If we can get him to focus like that more often, he could be a lock down defender when if he really wants to be.

I like how the announcer was like

he faded back and rose still blocked him….yea…blocking a shot when the shooter fades back is extremely difficult unless you have a length advantage or just good timing and explosiveness….rose is on the latter side…. Alllright!!! (gigidy gigidy)

On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, majoyenrac, Bullshooter and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light!

Defense is more than blocks and steals. Derrick obviously is a great shotblocker for a PG. That’s due to his off the charts athleticism. I want to see him stay in front of his man once he passes the halfcourt line. I want to stop seeing people blowing by him straight into the lane. It’s one thing to make spectacular crosscourt blocks and such but just D up on the reg and I’ll be happy.

Agreed

You would think somebody would have noticed that in training camp and worked with him on at least getting in down into a defensive stance instead of standing almost straight up. The worst I saw him was against Nash though. He just blew by Derrick on every play with no resistance from Rose whatsoever.

I loved the "Polish Hammer" slamming James's shot.
