Come on. Dudley!?
Dudley was a stiff. No value behind his 6 fouls. His best asset were his sharp elbows.

iHart is involved. Defending smart, rebounding on both sides, scoring on putbacks, floaters, occasional jumper, and can pass well and make plays. Perfect in our system.

This - Dudley comp is way off. I suggested a poor man’s Andrew Bogut.

And despite averages — 5.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game this season — that would normally prompt you to dismiss the player, Hartenstein is now fully in the conversation for the NBA’s best backup center.

“I feel like I am,” Hartenstein said. “I feel like it’s between me, [Minnesota’s] Naz Reid and probably [Atlanta’s] Onyeka Okongwu, probably us three.

I think I’m the best poster. Maybe me and cooch. Probably.

You just wanted to say cooch in a post

Couch, Pooch and Todd in that order.

Centers are back in vogue. Last two MVP'S? Centers.
Chet and Wemby? centers (Wemby will be).
Sengun.
The position is evolving. They are the new unicorns.
Bargnani was ahead of his time.

Horford would be in the mix too, no?

that said i think he's perfect match for this team. He's very smart player (with one or two brain inexplicable brain farts per game)

He sets very good screens around the perimeter as well. March/April last year his transition passing to start breaks was outstanding. Around the time IQ was scoring 30 every night, iHart was making passes at will.

I wish we gave him more than 2 yrs. Would be really tough to let him walk given how well he fits. And as good as Mitch is, I dont think you can just pump up his minutes. The 1 month injury is always a possibility...

iHart fanboy thread. Just a bunch that is having fun watching him. Kid played a good game last night.
There is a path were Mitch becomes expendable? Resign iHart. Sims has a purpose here perhaps long term?
We not winning a chip with Mitch or iHart as our 5 most likely. But thats another story for another day.

In the age of parity we are citizens on respectable street. Its a crowded middle of the pack but the games are fun.
Except when SAS gets "Disgusted" for ratings purposes.
Knicks hung 136pts last night winning with defense to create the transition pace. This is not JVG/Thibs 1990's ball anymore.
