So very possible that Rose will heal up right around the playoffs and we can wring our hands in consternation all over again over whether or not he should play

Didn't want to say anything because I have a soft spot for the Bulls and wanted them to do well / liked the Mike Dunleavy signing over the summer, but was secretly worried that bringing in DunJr. was gonna somehow kill their season, as he's never played for a winning team in his 11-year career (closest he came was w/ a 42-40 GSW team, who traded him to Indy mid-season).

It's so sad I think it is finally the end, almost certain he retires after this year
KG being toast is like the third biggest of Brooklyn's problems right now after having two injured main guys and a clueless coach (fourth that pierce isn't really in gear yet but I think that's temporary)

This. Haven't looked at his usage #s so far, but I'd assume that the Nets are being forced to use him at a far greater clip than they'd hoped to. Nets look like a mess but they're missing a ton of important pieces atm, so willing to give them a pass for a while. Same goes for Kidd, who is at least wearing his suit well on the sideline.

There's a small chance that the East could be _really_ ugly-- even though the Pacers have looked fantastic so far, they've had one of the easiest schedules. Next week they start a 10-game chunk that includes Clippers, Blazers, Spurs, OKC, Heat x 2, Pistons and Rockets. If they have any meltdown potential, that's probably when it'll come out.
Also shed a tear that the main leaders in all OFF/DEF stats seem to be normalized, have to wait another year for wacky leaderboards.
― Call me Shitmael (CompuPost), Sunday, 24 November 2013 22:38 (ten years ago) link
yeah the pacers seem due for a lil regression easy sched plus some of their guys have been playing out of their minds george cant miss stevensons got two trip dubs, still v solid tho their defense obvs you cant f with, but the heat also are also lookin a lil suspicious, wade only plays sometime and bron cant shoot this well all year

im sad abt rose things would be so much more interesting with him

john wall is a clear all star IMO
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Sunday, November 24, 2013 4:34 PM (2 hours ago)
he's shooting like 39%
― k3vin k., Sunday, 24 November 2013 23:45 (ten years ago) link
he has been turning the corner lately tho def
ok he's up to 41% now
― k3vin k., Sunday, 24 November 2013 23:46 (ten years ago) link
is wall better than kyrie irving??

no way imo

jeff teague is arguably playing pg better than anyone in the east right now
― Clay, Sunday, 24 November 2013 23:49 (ten years ago) link
yeah teague has been playing really well, doing so under the radar because he's jeff teague
― k3vin k., Sunday, 24 November 2013 23:57 (ten years ago) link
and also bc hawks

i have a friend who's a huge jeff teague fan and always brags about "calling" teague being legit after seeing him in college and on youtube mixtapes or whatever, i always thought it was just the saddest thing
― k3vin k., Monday, 25 November 2013 00:13 (ten years ago) link
not sad at all, i do this all the time and i am not sad ergo etc etc
― shiny trippy people holding bandz (m bison), Monday, 25 November 2013 00:16 (ten years ago) link
jeff teague was p. good in college, no points scored for guessing he'd be a good pro.

Udrih has been pretty good but damn man you do not look like a pro athlete

just tried to fill out an all-star ballot.....i guess afflalo has been the best guard in the east this year? what a joke
― k3vin k., Sunday, 24 November 2013 19:56 (Yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
No SG in the west has played better than him either tho
― tsrobodo, Monday, 25 November 2013 01:28 (ten years ago) link
shooting guard has been a really weak position for awhile now. with wade playing every other night and kobe out, there's like one all-star quality 2 in the league (harden)
― k3vin k., Monday, 25 November 2013 01:29 (ten years ago) link
Feel like Hardens midrangeless game might turn out to be snake oil in the long run.
Plus Afflalo's 22-5-5 ain't something to sniff at
― tsrobodo, Monday, 25 November 2013 01:38 (ten years ago) link
klay counts as a sg right
― Clay, Monday, 25 November 2013 01:43 (ten years ago) link
Afflalo is #1 in the NBA in PER among SGs
― polyphonic, Monday, 25 November 2013 01:47 (ten years ago) link
yeah we have to deal with the fact that as it stands right now Spencer Hawes and Arron Afflalo deserve to be allstars

well he had that nice 18-6-4 game or whatever in his second start. Better than expected for a guy who looks like a video game vlogger.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 25 November 2013 01:53 (ten years ago) link
oh yeah klay
― k3vin k., Monday, 25 November 2013 01:57 (ten years ago) link
harden's avoidance of midrange jumper is the exact reason his game is not fluky! in fact once his 3s normalize he's going to absolutely explode -- he's shooting like 55% on 2s
― k3vin k., Monday, 25 November 2013 01:59 (ten years ago) link
prob his twos will ]normalize too
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:00 (ten years ago) link
hes a cool player tho for sure just needs to learn D
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:01 (ten years ago) link
Then the playoffs come around, defences tighten up, transition dries up and he's borderline useless half the time. He needs a midrange and a post game.
― tsrobodo, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:16 (ten years ago) link
Monta and K Mart are better than Klay right now.
― tsrobodo, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:17 (ten years ago) link
idk ginobili seemed to have a pretty good career focusing on high value shots
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:17 (ten years ago) link
yeah that is just nonsense dude
― k3vin k., Monday, 25 November 2013 02:18 (ten years ago) link
and yeah a handful of 2s in the_west are having nice starts but none of those guys are superstar caliber
― k3vin k., Monday, 25 November 2013 02:19 (ten years ago) link
lol wtf is james harden ever going to do in the post
― call all destroyer, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:23 (ten years ago) link
Hardly a fair comparison seeing as Ginobli has played in a slick ball moving outfit his entire career and had the benefit of playing with 2 future hall of famers throughout their prime. Besides the point anyway because Ginobli would not work as a primary scorer in the post season.
And how exactly is it nonsense? Have we not seen how Harden has struggled in the offs?
― tsrobodo, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:25 (ten years ago) link
he had a really bad finals but has been good in the post eason otherwise iirc
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:30 (ten years ago) link
eh he had a rough series last year too
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:32 (ten years ago) link
his career reg season and postseason stats are essentially the same
