To me it hardly matters and both of them aren't all that special on the defensive end. And that is where the Raps really have problems in contending with the good teams as they just can't stop them.

I agree absolutely. I'd just add that in a 48 minute game, I'd personally want Calderon playing 28 minutes including the final minutes, not the other way around. As for their problems in defence, that's where a big centre is needed. I like Humphrey's a lot, but the guy can't handle the ball, shoot, or play as an everyday centre. That game with Houston exposed their D earlier on when Yao was just destroying them down low (though he does that to most teams, this was disgustingly easy). I don't think they're a player away from being special, but a centre IMO is definitely what the doctor ordered.
