is q1 actually a good defender or does he just look that way b/c everybody else on this team looks totally enept?

it seems like he does a good job on the perimeter on some of the bigger name guys and he always boards but are we overvaluing his defensive contribution?

He shockingly is playing d@mn good defense. The majority of the team is playing such lousy D that his looks great.

Probably some overvaluing, but he really does seem to bother all-star level guards. I'm not sure just what he does to bother them, but whoever he's on usually has a bad night. Also, I've noticed that the ref's like him, and often a questionable call will go in Q's favor, for whatever reason (also a key to being a "good" defender).

he's not a great defender, but he is physical & not afraid to mix it up, which not many of the other guys on this team are... i appreciate his effort on D... at least he's not letting his putrid perimeter shooting effect his effort.

can someone explain to me how Q is able to go out and play really good defense, but somehow his lower back injury is preventing him from hitting wide open set 3pters?

I would think if he was hurt, he wouldn't be able to play good defense.

Playing D and shooting a 3 is totally diff. Shooting is all about form which a bad back would hinder. Playing solid D is a mentality and desire which for some reason Q1 has a lot of these days.

A lot of people compare Q Rich to Tim Thomas from last year, which is something I just don't agree with. Yes, Q1 takes a lot of bad shots, but he's giving it his all and he's passing pretty decently too. I really can't kill Q for his poor offensive play and lack of numbers b/c of everything he's gone through, but he needs to continue playing like he has the past 4 or 5 games.

Q1 has been more than I expected. IF he ever regains his outside shot then he is a keeper.

You think so? Standing still and shooting is a lot easier physically than fighting through screens and chasing guys...

Except one has to do with effort, the other has to do with accuracy.

Is this the Q Rich fan club post? Get the hell out of here! The guy has sucked! He should be benched and traded if anyone even wants him.
We could be the Dallas Mavs of the East.

Overall, he has been awful, I agree, but he's been working hard on the D, and lately he's been playing good. Hence, me saying he's simply not been like Tim Thomas.

I give Q 100 times more credit than Tim Freakin Thomas the Lazy Fugazy.

TT would have won us some games at least. Q? Not one.

TT's such a joke he's not even allowed to play in the NBA.

What the hell would he have won for us? By doing almost nothing during the course of the game, and then the ball just so happens to come to him, he shoots and hits the game winner and he saves the day? Not how it works in my book.

^Maybe he means we would expect nothing from TT anyway and plan around it, where as we actually expect good play from Q so when he doesn't play well we are unprepared for it, Hence TT winning us more games?

Wow...that sounds dumb.
