[...] gets interesting. He was toolsy (in the good way) as a rookie but he matured last year and became a ridiculously tough defender. His length and instincts at the three are sort of like Rubio’s are at the point – [...]

[...] Roy Hibbert was impressive in the post last Sunday against the Lakers. Teammate Paul George also played some serious defense on Kobe down the stretch.- Kevin Arnovitz does his best to capture the many facets of Blake Griffin, and of our relationship [...]

clearly as a closet pacers fan, i would love to see paul pierce in Granger’s uniform. we need a clutch player and Granger is as soft as the other side of the pillow.

Yeah, people used to talk about Granger like this… But he was ruined by playing for O’Brien…

Nice to see that Vogel is beginning to get decent effort out of Granger again on that side of the game.

Granger’s defence against LA was first class. Not just the 3 blocks (4 if you include the foul on Barnes that was clearly all ball), but his effort was there all night.

Good to see if he’s struggling with his shot, he knows he can still impact the game as a 2-way player.

He’s shooting like crap this year, but Danny’s been playing excellent defense all season Kalvis. Watch the games, you’ll see.

Didn’t we talk like this about Granger during his second season? He still plays D 2-3 possessions a game, but nothing like we expected. Let’s hope PG doesn’t get a big head like Danny did.

Read the post Santiago “There isn’t a man dead or alive who can stop guys like Kobe, Rose and Dwyane by themselves.” He said nothing about Paul being some sort of Kobe stopper, he said he bothered him and made him take tough, well contested shots, which is all you can do.

Right because nobody can guard Kobe. He’s no man, he’s a god.

Please. PG guarded him extremely well. Did you even watch the videos? Or do you think he ‘normally makes’ extremely contested fadeaway jumpers.

Yeah it was all Paul George, not the incredibly ridiculous amount of minutes Mike Brown has let Kobe play in the last two weeks piling up and making his legs too tired to hit jumpers he usually makes.

All Paul George. Move over, Ruben Patterson. The new Kobe stopper is here.

Let’s be real, nobody has been able to “stop” Kobe since Bruce Bowen retired.
