2012 NBA season thread

[Mexi]

i said he's a scorer and the assists will be down

he's their best scorer, im not worried about the assists. just like im not with derrick rose

im not saying he's bad passer at all. it's a necessity thing

 

[elcheato]

For this year, I 100% agree. The assists won't be there with the talent around him. I'm going to assume if the Cavs get this rebuild right, we'll have other scorers in the next few years, and his assists numbers will sky rocket.

 

[elcheato]

The Los Angeles Lakers have talked with the Cleveland Cavaliers about possibly acquiring guard Ramon Sessions, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

:toolman:

If Rubio was on the Cavs instead of Kyrie....el cheato would love him more.

[elcheato]

Of course I would, but that wouldn't make Rubio the better player because he clearly isn't.

If Jimmer didn't play at BYU, DJT would think of him as an average shooter

IMO

1. Rose
2. Paul
3. Williams
4. Westbrook
5. Rondo
6. Irving
7. Nash
8. Jennings
9. Rubio
10. Lowry

And Kyrie will pass Rondo soon

 

[Hurricane Season]

In terms of true point guards, I still wouldn't put rose above 3.

Maybe ahead of Deron because he's been struggling a bit, but he has looked like his old self as of late.

lmao that is the truth right there. +1

I can agree with this.

LOL no. Obviously no one would think of him as an average shooter. He was the NCAA player of the year for a reason.

 

[DJT]

1. Paul
2. Williams
3. Rose/Westbrook

So was Adam Morrison IIRC

And I'm pretty sure majority of this site thinks of Jimmer as an average shooter. Its like you n Greg versus the rest

nv has stated many times that jimmer is scared to shoot. he says bad things about jimmer

It was funny cause there were like 10 more members who were on the Jimmer bandwagon during the NCAA season...

He was scared to shoot, but he is getting more comfortable.

He doesn't always say bad things about Jimmer.

 

[.infamous]

He doesn't always say bad things about Jimmer.

I didnt say always say bad things. I just said he does criticize him at least.

 

[DJT]

Well shoot I say bad things about Jimmer to lol.

He sucks at defense, he needs to make smarter decisions with the ball. He puts himself in some bad situations and trys throwing up a shot, but he really should pass out.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

I'm a bit frustrated with D'antoni right now. I've given him leeway because our PGs suck. However, he didn't play Baron Davis Friday or Saturday because he doesn't have the "NBA Pop" yet, whatever the hell that means. Now I'm hearing him and Melo still might not be ready to go tomorrow night.

I'm really pissed about this. I'm not even asking for Baron to come out and play 30 minutes right off the bat, but is Mike seriously saying the guy can't even come off the bench for 10 minutes yet? He's been saying all along that he'll ease him, so why not ease him in? I don't see how 10 minutes can do any harm. And every indication is that BD is healthy, it's the "pop" or w/e that he doesn't have.

Idk. I'm getting frustrated right now. Not a good look in NY.

 

[NV]

Jimmer has definitely looked more comfortable lately, and he's been showing some more consistent range. He's shooting over 60% from 3 in his last 20 or so attempts I believe. Sign of improvement at least.

 

[Pugz]

1. Rose

i think i would put rose third/second(deron and rose could be interchangeable). rondo ahead of russy and then i agree with the rest.
