2012 NBA season thread

[The Young One]

They will take either Odom or Billups, I just have that feeling. Most likely Odom, which is why I have him there.


And BC, Durant would play the 4 before LeBron

I don't see the need for either one. Billups wasn't that good last time imo and has shitty shot selection imo. Rose/Paul/Deron need to be the points..3 may not even be necessary at this point when you have guys like Wade/Bron/Kobe

 

[elcheato]

The Cavs lead the league in ridiculously long buzzer beater 3s at the end of quarters made against them.

 

[Mexi]

CP/Deron/Rose
Wade/Kobe

Bron/Durant/Melo/Iggy

Dwight/LMA


1 more spot. cant pick between Blake and Love
Love stretches the floor a little more, but Blake has the ability to guard 3-4-5's
or they could go old reliable with Odom

 

[The Young One]

Love has to be the 4 imo...Stretches the floor and is a better rebounder. But the highlights with Blake would be insane.

Blake cant guard SFs....

and it'd be Love, easily. His outside scoring game would spread the offense out quite nicely

 

[Mexi]

in a pinch, yes he can. he has the quickness

He can't guard PFs either

The gif really takes that post over the top..Pos rep

love isnt really a better rebounder
he's more of a stat padder

last year they were pretty much even
this year love has the advantage, but it's still early in the season and it's not like blake isnt averaging 10 boards anyways

Love shoots a worse percentage and because of it gets more O-boards, thus making the rebounding look a little nicer

the only guy on this team able to get low post buckets is Dwight since LMA just camps mid range

I'd take Blake for this reason

Love's FG% is lower because he takes a lot of mid-range shots and doesn't dunk it every time he gets the ball. That doesn't increase his O-Rebounds.

Stopped reading when you said Love really isn't a better rebounder than Blake. Stop trolling

 

[elcheato]

Anderson Varejao just had the slowest developing spin ever, followed by a behind the back, over the shoulder pass to Anthony Parker loooool

 

[elcheato]

Also, the charge call on the guy who just passed the ball, needs to be abolished.

at the rim:
Blake: 75%
Love: 62%

3-9 feet:
Blake: 55%
Love: 23%

lower percentages lead to more o-boards, no?

 

[Elite]

How many more shots does Blake take in those two areas than Love?

 

[Yankees2772]

I like Blake a bit more, but this is an awful argument.

 

[Mexi]

love is better at rebounding overall

i said "not really" better

key words

it means while love may be better, it's not by a whole bunch
lets not act like Blake is pulling a LaMarcus and grabbing 6 rebounds a game

and for the olympics, i would take blake over love because he's better inside than love and he's more athletic

 

[elcheato]

Find me a player worse then Antawn Jamison

 

[Mexi]

Find me a player worse then Antawn Jamison

i have 2

luke walton and metta world peace

 

[Mexi]

i really do love blake hate though

i have to deal with it all the time with laker fans
"all blake does is dunk", "blake is so overrated", etc
yeah thats why he put up 22 a game last year and is averaging 25 a game this year
why dont guys like javale mcgee or tyson chandler do that if it's all about dunks?

my favorite is when they complain about his "flopping" and about being a "douche"

yet they root for derek fisher(flop) and pau(flop), and kobe(a-hole and flop)....
