well we didn't exactly get a classic steph v dame showdown, but gsw vs por did produce a new nba record for most threes made in a game (37 on 76 attempts)

BBALLBREAKDOWN @bballbreakdown 3h3 hours agoI forgot this was a back to back for OKC. Not surprising they faded, that happens to everyone. Edward the Spurs fan @edwardfromda808@bballbreakdown is it ok to make a counter argument that spurs are perfect on their 2nd games of back-to-back games this season?

lol'd at "Edward the Spurs fan" do not ask me why
― Clay, Sunday, 13 March 2016 07:23 (eight years ago) link
hawks defrtg since the ot loss to the warriors on 2/23 is 89.7. spurs are second during that period at 92.4, then the celtics at 100.1

It's a great stat, for one u can represent it w symbols

matt why do u hate jahlil so much?

Stole his girl

everyone hates jahlil okafor even tho he put up 18-7 on 50% in 30mins a game while playing for an insanely constructed wildly dysfunctional team, like i can understand thinking hes flawed or went too high but ppl really seem to think hes the devil and irredeemable which is kinda weird imo, like hes a 20 y/o rookie who had a p good season he has time to work on improving his game more
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:09 (eight years ago) link
like its not just matt many ppl are very down on this guy!
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:10 (eight years ago) link
im rootin for u jahlil!
having said that last years draft is starting to look like it was extremely stacked and hell prob end up as like the 7th best player
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:11 (eight years ago) link
i dunno if you watch him it seems pretty clear that his upside is fairly limited
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2016 22:15 (eight years ago) link
hes literally 20 years old jordan!
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:15 (eight years ago) link
20 year old rookies reliable improve a lot actually, was he wearing a no upside sign or something how did u devine this information
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:16 (eight years ago) link
that doesn't make the first statement untrue tho
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2016 22:16 (eight years ago) link
its makes it highly suspect
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:17 (eight years ago) link
he'll probably be as good as greg monroe, beauty is in the eye of the beholder
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2016 22:18 (eight years ago) link
hes roughly as good as greg monroe right now!
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:20 (eight years ago) link
which is a nice way of saying that greg monroe hasn't gotten that much better from his rookie season i.e. jahlil okafor doesn't have that much upside
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2016 22:22 (eight years ago) link
jordan u can look at greg monroes rookie stats they are available online
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:24 (eight years ago) link
as a 21 year old, greg monroe shot 52 percent from the field on 11.8 shots per game with 9.7 rebounds per game. as a 25 year old, greg monroe is shooting 52 percent from the field on 12.4 shots per game with 9.4 rebounds per game.
he's the same player.
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2016 22:27 (eight years ago) link
jordan how can we trust yr opinion on this if you dont know what the word rookie means the definaiton is also available online
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:30 (eight years ago) link
notice i havent even started to contest yr assertion that okafor and monroe are the same person but if i were going to i wld start with the fact that they have different names and look different and also have been seen in the same place at the same time before
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:33 (eight years ago) link
well monroe's rookie year numbers are a bit of a misnomer simply because he was only taking 7 shots per game, which jahlil isn't
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2016 22:33 (eight years ago) link
if your argument is that 20 year old jahlil okafor has comparable numbers to 21 year old greg monroe whose numbers are identical to 25 year old greg monroe then i would say i'm not sure how that really helps your argument at all
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2016 22:34 (eight years ago) link
jordans argument against okafor: he is the same person as greg monroe only with a different rookie usage rate or something, this makes tons of sense i am super convinced, also a 21 y/o 2nd year is more meaningful to compare to a 20 y/o rookie year than a 20 y/o rookie year is, this is smart greg monroe is the key def i dont knwo why i didnt see this before
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:36 (eight years ago) link
i mean...... jahlil okafor's rookie year numbers are way worse than greg monroe's, i was trying to be generous to your argument
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2016 22:39 (eight years ago) link
you guys are arguing about how good some loser on the 76ers is
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 14 March 2016 22:41 (eight years ago) link
yes because usage does not matter at all, btw i have applied the greg monore formula to all the rookies and bad new folks they are all bad

nooo u were desperately searching for a rookie that didnt improve but u had to use his 2nd year stats lol
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:43 (eight years ago) link
even if you dropped 5 percentage points off monroe's rookie FG% for reasons of usage he would still have the same offensive stats as okafor and be a better rebounder
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2016 22:45 (eight years ago) link
does this count as fanfic
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:46 (eight years ago) link
it you wanted to take it to the real world its p obvious if youve ever watched them play that monroe is the better rebounder and okafor is a massively more talented scorer
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:49 (eight years ago) link
this entire conversation is fanfic
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 March 2016 22:49 (eight years ago) link
i feel pretty comfortable saying even if the rest of his game never comes together that okafor will score a lot of points in the nba
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:50 (eight years ago) link
if he can figure out how to play good positional D and make the right passes out of the double team he will be a star
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:51 (eight years ago) link
otherwise hell be putting up 25 a game for a 25 win kings team before being reclaimed by the mavs lol
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 March 2016 22:52 (eight years ago) link
that monroe is a slightly better rebounder and okafor is a slightly better scorer doesn't really change negate my statement that okafor will be roughly as good as monroe
