― 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

― Aimless, Sunday, November 24, 2013 4:52 PM (1 hour ago)
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.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 25 November 2013 00:27 (ten years ago) link
Udrih has been pretty good but damn man you do not look like a pro athlete

udrih has not been pretty good. he's even more out of control than Felton!

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

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
― call all destroyer, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:34 (ten years ago) link
Except he becomes much less efficient
― tsrobodo, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:35 (ten years ago) link
which is a completely common thing in the playoffs
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:36 (ten years ago) link
because the bad teams arent there
according to what xxp

~21ppg in 05 playoffs, spurs won the title, and manu is obvs one of the absolute best players of his generation ffs god
― lag∞n, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:38 (ten years ago) link
And his game suffers more than most. Its no secret that success in the offs is achieved through halfcourt play and he doesn't have that in his game.
― tsrobodo, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:42 (ten years ago) link
^^^^ feel like i shd ban this tsroboto joker. manu from 03-06 was an all star and one of the craftiest motherfuckers on earth, no one could fuck with him. he carried argentina to gold and would absolutely have been a no 1 on a mediocre team
― shiny trippy people holding bandz (m bison), Monday, 25 November 2013 02:43 (ten years ago) link
Not disputing that, don't know where you got the idea that I was but Tim Duncan was the primary scorer so not sure what you're getting at.
― tsrobodo, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:43 (ten years ago) link
Whoa whoa whoa slow down buddy, tsrobodo you're saying some crazy things
First, who calls the playoffs the 'offs'
― 乒乓, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:43 (ten years ago) link
that manu was tha catalyst to that 05 team and FUCKING ARGENTINA DUDE
― shiny trippy people holding bandz (m bison), Monday, 25 November 2013 02:45 (ten years ago) link
yes, james harden, ranked 5th in points per game last season and so far this season, cannot play halfcourt basketball.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:45 (ten years ago) link
What am I saying that contradicts that?
― tsrobodo, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:46 (ten years ago) link
Well he can't. The rockets were a running team last year he got a ton of his points in transition.
― tsrobodo, Monday, 25 November 2013 02:47 (ten years ago) link
i'm just waiting for you to provide any piece of evidence that he's a markedly different player in the playoffs
