2012-2013 NBA Regular Season Thread

No I think he's actually serious. There are posters on the Hornets site that are just Greivis fan boys. I mean look, I love Greivis. I hope he's a Hornet/Pelican for a long time. But not as a starter. But you have these guys who want to point to raw stats like PPG and APG or say he had a triple double the other night and say that's why he's a starting caliber PG in the NBA, for a team that's not content with being a early exit in the playoffs every year. I even went as far to make a list of PG's that I would take over him in a two-three year period:

[background=rgb(250, 250, 250)]19. George Hill[/background]
[background=rgb(250, 250, 250)]20. John Wall[/background]

[background=rgb(250, 250, 250)]21. Ricky Rubio[/background]

That's not to say I would go out and trade or sign those guys because they aren't big enough upgrades, but I do think they they are upgrades, even in the slightest manner.

I'd take Vazquez over Lin and Hill easily

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I'd take Lin and Hill over Vasquez easily lol

 

[Amare]

I'd take Lin and Hill over Vasquez easily lol

Lin? hell naw

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Well let me rephrase that, I'd take Hill over Vasquez easily.

I think Lin is a better player than Vasquez but I think he fits into that "not a big enough upgrade" category I talked about earlier.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Jw why do you have Rubio so low?

That list isn't in any particular order, I just started with the Southwest and went from there.

I must admit, I was wrong about Rubio. I really like him. He's inefficient in terms of his scoring, but that will come. We all know how great of a passer he is. And his defense is surprisingly good.

Why?

Hill averages 15-5/36, Vazquez averages 15-10/36

 

[RipCity32]

How come you don't like Greivis? He's having an outstanding season really lol.

im not sure how much more offense will come, hes been playing pro ball for so long this may be it. hes still one of my fave guards.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Knicks are playing like crap.

I don't think he'll ever be a 16 ppg on 45% shooting type of guy, but I'd be shocked if it didn't get better than the awful numbers he's putting up now lol

Paul is on fire

 

[Pugz]

i believe he will but i dont think thats his game. hes gonna get better at the open spot up three but thats where itll come from.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Knicks have really turned it around in this 3rd quarter. Much more aggressive on D, good ball control in transition. They still need to get someone other than Melo & Felton going, whether it's JR, Amar'e, or Kidd. Somebody has to step up.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

ooooh Felton just took an elbow right to the adam's apple!

 

[Pugz]

jcraw is so smooth

 

[Amare]

LOOOL at griffin trying to fly

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Melo is just a 1-man wrecking crew today.

 

[East]

This Clips game is good
