I don't like Wallace because he has no fundamentals or finese(sp). He just plays off the basket and pads his stats. I'm not taking away from him that he is an insane athlete, but he is no where near as defensively sound as Artest. Plus when you look at the scheme of the Eastern conference, it is all about the guards, the likes of Pierce, Mcgrady, Lebron, Rip Hamilton, Vinsanity, Allan Houston, and Mike Redd. Those are the players that Artest is D'ing up night after night, not some second rate Forward or Center such as Wallace.

Also looking at box scores for 2 of the last 4 games (where Detriot is 1-3) when Wallace's was playing his would be rival's at the 4-5 spot, he hasn't done shit... he doesn't slow people down.

KG dropped 22 pts 17 boards 2 blks and 6 dimes
Jermaine O Neal dropped 28pts 15 boards 4 blks

I will give him that Duncan (17 and 10) and Shareef (14 and 4) were held down soundly.
