Okafors limitations are really starting to show. He has had a good start and he brings good things but, he is small and not too athletic. We have to get some legnth on this team or we will never challenge the elite teams.

Good luck finding your "ideal" center
im starting to get worried...
in like 5 years maybe ... when his contract is up ... until then .........
we should have traded him when he was playing well

he is soft as hell and slow...cp3 found him wide open on one play and it took the dude like 3 seconds to get the ball and go up...he got blocked...soft as hell...dude your 6 10 255!!! freaking slam that thing!
okafor has not shown up on both sides of the court the past couple of games
Okafor looks like he's mentally checked out again.
our whole offense has done a 180, nobody looks like they want to win, freaking sucks
Well I hope you random people that all of a sudden came during the winning streak go away now. This is what happens in the NBA did you forget?
even the lakers and celtics go through tough times...cant overreact
I just thought it wouldn't happen this fast lol
11-6 is a real possibility.
Guess the team is coming back down to earth.
15-2 is a real possibility too.Quote:

We aren't a great shooting team, but you can get around that, but it's hard to cover up when you lack size and toughness inside. That is without a doubt this teams weak link.
They were never above earth. ;)Quote:

Demps needs to address either the center or wing position fast or we are going to be lucky to be .500 2 weeks from now. Man, I was really pumped with the start this team made, but I can see the holes now and they are big ones! I am worried!!
We have limited firepower.
CP3 is a big reason why.
never did like emeka never will.yes i like when he block shots but he dont fit this team
Okafor was so soft tonight it was hard to watch
Mek has to go, the guy is too weak to play center in this league. He is a backup center at best. We need to package him with some other scrubs on this team and hope to pickup a tougher center. We won't get a great center in a trade but maybe someone that has better hands and can finish above the rim. Mek's hands are so weak the wind blows the ball out his hands.Quote:

It has to be a mental thing. He was playing really aggressively with alot of confidence. Now its passive, not attacking the rim, forcing bad shots.
lol way too early to be hating emeka this much after his good start...but if this continues we have a problem
this game was hard to watch,not just okafor but mbenga,omg Aron Gray c'mon MAN, TBH i would love for smith to start our 5 then those 3Quote:

TO EARLY??? this carry's from last year dude is pro,he should play to the standard to what he gets paid,until then no love from N.OQuote:

He reverted back to his old soft ways the past two weeks. On top of that he has a real low bball IQ. It's funny that his bball IQ is low, because he is pretty much a genius.
you aint never lied,he is genius 11milli a year he cond from N.OQuote:

I'm healthy and playing well, did you see me put up 17pts and 18reb against the Thunder tonight?
Plus, I'm an 80% FT shooter now.
I'm a FA this offseason, any interest in bringing me back?
