I agree that the Raps troubles are all related to defending the backcourt. But if last night shows anything, maybe Will Salomon is the answer. The dude outplayed Calderon in my opinion, and he's a better defender. Other than that, Jamario Moon is decent as a 3 defender, but let's face it, Anthony Parker and Jose Calderon are gonna get run out of the gym by whoever is playing offense against them on any given night. The Raps are one legit point guard from a contender, and not that i don't like Calderon, but the dude has never broken a game open. It was always TJ Ford, Bosh and Kapono last year.

When you think of Lebron and Dwyane Wade, you think of guys that can carry their teams. Bosh could be the same way. He just needs some room to operate, because he's not the physical force that Lebron is, and he doesn't get calls...errrr, I mean he doesn't "go through traffic and get to the line" like Wade does. That's exactly what JO does for him. JO could average 5 and 5 as long as he occupies the other team's center. Bosh can abuse most 4s and 3s one on one, and JO provides someone that can drop the ball in the hoop if Bosh gets doubled. And if Bargnani can keep hitting 3s consistently, if the opposing SF doubles onto Bosh, he can kick it out. It'll work out - just give it some more time. Now if Washington is still the worst team in the league 10 games in, someone might need to write an article... I think people are giving up on Toronto awfully quick for a 4-2 team.

Odom transferred there after some controversy with UNLV. Even in college, Mobley was a notorious trash talker. He definitely likes to run his mouth. If anyone remembers the NCAA tournament in 1998 when Rhode Island choked away a six point lead in the final minute, and Stanford guard Arthur Lee flashed the choke sign at the free throw shooter, there was a lot of yapping between the guards on both teams. Mobley was definitely a big part of it. TP, drink: Mobley went to Rhode Island. Odom transferred there after some controversy with UNLV.

Jazz were horrible on the road last year and if they want to be mentioned with LA and Boston then they have to win games on the road, especially against the Knicks. What the hell is up w/ Jamal Crawford? Has he been resurrected? He's finally playing like we all expected him to be playing like. Where are all the Rockets bandwagon fans? A 4-3 start ain't what y'all were expecting, right? Do you think Reggie Theus will make it 'til the end of the season, and do you think he wishes he would have stayed coaching college ball? As much as I hate the Lakers, they are rolling teams. This week will show how strong they are.... @ Dallas, @ NO, home Detroit. They are winning by an average of 22.4 pts. That's nuts. And what is more nuts is 0 reported Kobe death-stares! Jazz haven’t been able to guard the 3-point line since Raja Bell left town!

I don't think so. He's a beast right now, but what's going to happen in the playoffs when teams start doubling him, or if he has a few off games? The Raps biggest problem is the lack of offense/defense from their 2-3 spots. They can't defend anyone with athleticism and can't score from inside 18 feet. Bosh can't carry this team to the second round by himself. Their perimeter defense is non-existent, a problem the Raps have had for years and hasn't been addressed. I still don't see them as contenders, but since the east is still so weak, could make a little noise come playoff time. @deeds
