2012 NBA season thread

How so? It's not like Kyrie is just jacking up jumpers and chucking for his 20 points like Jimmer would have to do.. The majority of his scoring is coming around the rim, and he's shooting 47% from the field. Just a ludicrous statement.

I know what real handles are, and Kyrie's are incredible.

 

[DJT]

LOL no. Are you even watching???? Like seriously you post videos so it seems like you would watch them...

Those handles are soooooooooooooooooo SLOPPY.

 

[elcheato]

His handles are sloppy because when he's attempting these ridiculous moves that not many players can complete, they don't look flawless?

You're reaching to find flaws in his game now just because you kept comparing Jimmer's numbers to him in the pre-season and to start the year when Kyrie is clearly superior.

Monroe is 4th among centers in scoring. (3rd if you don't count Bargnani as a center)
9th in rebounding.

Is if fair to say Monroe is already about a top 5ish center in the league, or is that biased?

Biased

Dwight, Bogut, Joakim, Brook, Bynum, Marc Gasol, Nene, etc...

 

[elcheato]

I wasn't a fan of Monroe coming into the league but now I'd rather have him then Joakim Noah and Nene.

 

[Pugz]

If Jimmer was on the Cavs, he'd probably get 20.

And if you don't think his handles are sloppy....you don't know what real handles are.

You are such an idiot I swear. You watch the game of basketball but you don't actually watch the game of basketball.

Gmoe isn't a too five center yet but dude is clearly on his way to that. He's playing great thus far.

 

[elcheato]

I'd rather have Daniel Gibson then Jimmer to be completely honest.

 

[Pugz]

I wouldn't go that far but comparing jimmer to kyrie is stupid and saying kyrie doesn't have handles is even stupider.

 

[elcheato]

Well Gibson is equally as good a shooter, and he's actually a good defender. :kobe:

I'd much rather have Monroe than Joakim and Brook. I would probably but him above Nene too.

That leaves Dwight, Bogut, Bynum, and Gasol.
There is no "etc" either lol, the center position is weak.

I think it's perfectly fine to put Monroe at 5.
If not now, certainly by the end of the season.

 

[Pugz]

Joel Anthony>>

 

[RipCity32]

I think I'd place Anthony just behind Dwight imo.

But really my list would be:

1. Dwight Howard
2. Andrew Bynum
3. Andrew Bogut
4. Marc Gasol
5. Al Jefferson
6. Greg Monroe
7. Al Horford
8. Joakim Noah
9. Nene
10. Brook Lopez


I guess 6. I forgot about Jefferson. IDK if most consider him a center though.

 

[Pugz]

Though, horford is more of a four is place him above Greg.

 

[VC15]

There are certainly not nine centers who are better than Brook.

 

[RipCity32]

Though, horford is more of a four is place him above Greg.

I'd put Greg above him honestly.
I'm not sure there is a center with a better offensive skillset than Monroe right now.

Brook Lopez and Al Horford say hi.

 

[RipCity32]

Greg can do just about everything those two can do..

 

[Pugz]

Brook would be 13/8 on a good team..
