Kidd doesn't guard PGs. Westbrook was guarding Terry.

Your whole post is a lie!

Also Kobe did a lot of the work guarding Russ too.

The defensive player of the year tyson chandler didn't make first team all defensive team LOL!

Not surprised. Voted by two
Different groups. all defense is voted by coaches and DPOY is voted by media.

Quote of the Day: Shane Battier calls the Western Conference soft http://t.co/OmR3KEJW

[Azull]

He knows soft... he was the one who injuried Wades arm so bad that Wade couldnt walk and needed a wheelchair!

[TummieGaruda]

If the Western Conference is so soft, then how come so many titles have come from Western Conference Teams since 1999?

1999: Spurs
2000: Lakers
2001: Lakers
2002: Lakers
2003: Spurs
2004: Detroit
2005: Spurs
2006: Miami
2007: Spurs
2008: Celtics
2009: Lakers
2010: Lakers
2011: Mavs

10 titles versus 3. The last time the Eastern Conference was dominant was back in the 90's when the Bulls made that run at 6 titles along with the repeat from the Pistons.

East still have more. I think they have 36 titles total and west has 29 or 30.

I don't really consider those Lakers or Spurs teams "tough" - they were just good at basketball.

Only counted titles around when Battier entered the NBA and the end of the Bulls Dynasty. If you move it up to 2001 when Battier came into the league, the Western Conf still won more than the Eastern.

When I think of "tough" teams, in terms of physical toughness I can only think of the Pistons from the 80's/early 90's

[Dimmauk]

I guess Bruce Lee Bowen flying side kicks, hundred hand slaps and leg sweeps weren't tough enough?

I think the current Grizzlies, for example, are a pretty tough team.
