2013-2014 NBA Season Thread

That's like saying winning is irrelevant and we should just go off stats to determine who the best players are. I guess Cousins is the best center in the NBA then?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Goes both ways. You have to be smart enough to judge the impact of a particular player on your own. Teammates have a lot of influence on a teams record, believe it or not. Does Griffin's team going 4-0 and Davis' New Orleans team going 2-2 automatically mean that Griffin had a bigger individual impact on the game?

I also had the numbers wrong:
Griffin: 27 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.5 steals
Davis: 35 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 3 blocks

The Clippers didn't lose. The Pelicans' games are meaningless at this point. They WANT to lose. Gotta factor that in too.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

They want to lose? People on this board really enjoy talking out of their asses without any real insight or data to back up their claims.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

They should if they want to keep their pick.

Probably because a lot of us don't have time to study basketball like fucking clockwork.

Switch Blake and AD, AD would be getting all kinda of praise on the clips.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Blake is the best PF in the NBA this year.

Has little to do with time you have and more to do with common sense and just not being an idiot.

They want to lose? Come the fuck on.

Jeff Green had 39 last night, and 5 tonight.

Very Jeff Green like.

 

[footballplaya52]

I always see people hating on Jeff green but hes solid. Just can't carry boston.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I like him, but he's so damn hot cold. I don't know of anyone else who could go for 40 one game then go for 5 the next one, and do it on a couple of different occasions.

 

[MapleLeaf]

I am so excited that we are going to get the 7-8 seed and lose in 5 games instead of missing the playoffs and keeping our top 20 protected pick

 

[bosoxlover12]

He can't be a top option. That's why we need another scorer if green is in our future

Pels shouldve added a little more red to make things pop
These nugs jerseys are pretty sweet

Team success and teammates do go a long way in figuring how good a player is, but subjectivity and the eye ball test do as well.  To me, in my opinion, I have a lot of respect for the strides Blake Griffin has made this year, strides many people gave up believing he could make, but Anthony Davis is a top 10 player in the NBA right now.  

 

[Mexi]

Cant believe kevin love has 2 seasons of 26/13
No way i saw that in him when he was in college

 

[Mexi]

League is already great

But i wish more guys played like faried and joakim
Love those two

 

[Mobruler]

I'd trade the entire Pistons roster not named Andre for Faried and put Drummond and Faried together.  Then I'd just try to draft/sign a couple wings and a point who play hard and crush people.

 

[Mexi]

Pat bev
Faried
Joakim

All play harder than anyone. Cant even think of a 2 or 3 to round out my list

Maybe russell could be put there. Maybe
