Give Marion some slack

[sly fly]

Absolutely! Until Boris decides to be more consistent in his aggressiveness, he won't be as good as Shawn. His problems finishing are glaring, IMO, a product of his inexperience.

As opposed to Marion's aggresiveness or finishing around the rim?

Remember, Boris is what 23? That makes him 5 years younger than Marion.

Who's had the more consisent playoffs?

Yes, Boris will learn how to finish. Once he does, you can pencil him in as a 5-tool player.

Marion is having a crappy playoffs, no doubt about it, but he's not soft like Boris. We see glimpses of aggressiveness with Diaw, but nowhere near what he needs to be. He may complain a little bit, but Marion certainly has been banging with bigger players in these playoffs.

Oh, I agree.
