the lakers with prime kobe, nash, gasol and kaman are one player away from being able to beat PRIME NETS
i mean the nets could be the best of that group but if they played it out they could also easily lose
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 9 January 2014 16:33 (ten years ago) link
i mean the spurs had teams with prime duncan manu and parker and they were very good but not imaginary super team good, and the heat while it would be an extremely scary offensive team would have the same problem the current heat have with interior D

if it's a playoff series where benches matter less than top 5 the nets would be the favorites but not infallible
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 9 January 2014 16:34 (ten years ago) link
they would be infallible sorry, benches matter less in the playoffs but its more like your deep bench guys matter less, having terry and ak47 as your first guys in would make them even more better than their starting line up advantage
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 16:36 (ten years ago) link
the heat would have some of the same problems the current heat have in the redundancy of talent like obvs prime ray allen was an amazing player but his best skill was scoring and the heat have tons of scoring, all the nets players are v well rounded and would compliment each other nicely

if "prime" greg oden = healthy greg oden then he could check brook lopez pretty easily imo

blake is really the master of that heavily defended throw-dunk

prime oden i think would have to refer to 2nd year oden where he was putting up ridic numbers but only getting 20min a night because he had absolutely no idea what he was doing and a pro operator like lopez would eat him alive
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 16:46 (ten years ago) link
you dont get to have imaginary healthy mature oden sry
the nets would probably win!
but the heat could roll out one of the three best players ever, a 30 ppg guy at his peak, the best shooter ever, a no doubt hall of fame PF, a first overall pick center. and battier when he was really checking guys on D and shooting 40% from three plus mid-20s rashard are decent bench players.
obv chalmers & cole & birdman etc are the weak links there. but it would be a series.

second year oden was better than brook but yeah he couldn't stay on the floor
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 9 January 2014 16:48 (ten years ago) link
i think it was cuz of fouls though
he had no idea how to play basketball he was just out there jumping around, brook is a legit elite skilled nba player on both sides of the ball and like 1mx better than 2nd year oden was

Glad this discussion is finally bringing people around to the value of Brook Lopez, stalwart of my fantasy team for 2+ years at least
― 龜, Thursday, 9 January 2014 16:52 (ten years ago) link
i mean you can understand why everyone was so amped on greg but he has zero idea of how to play basketball at that point
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 16:52 (ten years ago) link
his PER was 23!
i mean it was like a 15 game sample or whatever but i dunno we're in a ~thought experiment~ here
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 9 January 2014 16:54 (ten years ago) link
lopez rated 2nd in the nba at opponent fg% at the rim just behind hibbert, he is really really good, only weakness is rebounding
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 16:55 (ten years ago) link
this argument is breaking down but I agree with

i know he was putting up ridic numbers, but he was also very bad, he was very very bad at D, hence all the fouling, lopez would foul him out in like 3mins, i watched some of those games and he was like a great dane puppy running around out there, he was doing on on pure athleticism and size and wouldve gotten eaten alive by a good team that had like ten mins to prepare for him
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 16:58 (ten years ago) link
know way to gauge how good oden could have been. just not enough to base anything on
― Spottie, Thursday, 9 January 2014 16:59 (ten years ago) link
idk i tihnk he wouldve been a l33t player eventually if he didnt get injured and put in the proper work and all but he was really really green then
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 17:00 (ten years ago) link
obvs who knows if he had the work ethic and mind of a champion eye of the tiger and everything, he def had all the raw tools tho
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 January 2014 17:01 (ten years ago) link
agree but you know
― Spottie, Thursday, 9 January 2014 17:01 (ten years ago) link
didn't prime rashard and ray already play on the same team?
rashard was prob not quite prime when he left

― moullet, Thursday, 9 January 2014 17:16 (ten years ago) link
naw rashard was a great shooter and bad at everything else, green is all around mediocre at everything

― moullet, Thursday, 9 January 2014 17:30 (ten years ago) link
that question about players in their prime is actually pretty interesting
There's only one way to settle this: put them all together on the court and let them play each other. Yeah, that's the answer!
