Patrick Beverly has been an animal since he came back from injury.
 
And for Mexi...this Grizzlies team is fucking scary, and they're going to get in ahead of Dallas unless Gasol or Randolph go out for an extended period. 

 

[Mexi]

Best defense in the league since marc came back

And they made the wcf last year but everyone forgot

James johnson and courtney lee were excellent pickups
Especially Johnson

 

[BwareDWare94]

Everyone says the OKC series would have been over in 5 (in favor of OKC, obviously) with Westbrook, but I disagree. I don't know Memphis would have won, but I'm sure it'd have gone at least 6. 

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Lee has been a better pickup than Johnson.

 

[Mexi]

Yeah i just looked at his numbers

Ive just always loved james johnson
Go digging for my posts his rookie year

 

[BwareDWare94]

Had trouble with Milwaukee.

When he was in Houston, I thought Marcus Morris was inconsistent, but at least we could trust him for 8-15 points with starter minutes, and I honestly wish we still had him. He would have been that second stretch four who, unlike DMo, plays defense and is tough. 
 
Anyway, the point of this is...it's crazy how inconsistent Markieff is, even in comparison to Marcus. Kieff could drop 30 one night, and then 0 the next. Just absurd. How can anyone be that crazy inconsistent?

I cant believe andre iguodala used to average 18, 20, 19, 18 points per game 4 straight years

He is now taking 7 shots per game

And it isnt just the dubs. His attempts have gone down for like 5 years

Vescey was saying doug collins used to say he didnt want the ball in crunch time because he didnt want free throws and now he is just overall afraid to shoot
And his free throws have gone down. Used to be mid 70s, even hit 80% one year

And now back to back years of 57% and 59%

 

[dcpwner]

Yeah Iguodala fell off a cliff. I'm shocked...always thought he had the type of game that ages well

 

[Mexi]

He's still good but its weird how he only shoots when he has to
So many open shots where he holds the ball a sec, and then makes an extra pass

 

[Pugz]

he never had that go to guy mindset. his scoring was up when he wasnt asked to do everything else. once he started to do it all his scoring went down.

hes like overrated underrated now but he still does a lot.

 

[Mexi]

Yeah hes both over and underrated somehow (not sarcasm, i agree)

 

[Mexi]

I love goran dragic
He is so good

2k needs to upgrade him lol

 

[BwareDWare94]

Anybody remember what happened to Festes Ezeli? He's been inactive the whole year, it seems.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I don't really think he's underrated. I was one of the few saying he was overrated this offseason, but I think his reputation is about where it should be right now.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Anybody remember what happened to Festes Ezeli? He's been inactive the whole year, it seems.

Knee surgery, out 6-9 months. Haven't heard anything about him, but he may be back sometime this month? Mid February would make 9 months.

 

[Pugz]

i think to people who love sports, not just follow them, iggy is a little overrated(us). people who casually watch, he's still underrated. iggy still isnt and never was a household name.

 

[dcpwner]

I feel like he reached star status somewhere in his time in Philadelphia. Most casual fans wouldn't know where he was now maybe.

 

[RipCity32]

Lol. Pistons played 3 bench players tonight. Only one to score was Stuckey.
 
Starters nearly played the whole game, on a back to back.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Iggy's that guy you've always known is good, but you don't exactly fear him when your team is playing his.
