He had a great game, but it was still rotten luck he managed to hit that 3. I doubt he hits that shot 2 times out of 10 tries.
-
Precisely my reaction. Not looking good in OT for Bucks.
-
Eddie Curry just made a 3-point shot with .9 seconds left in regulation to send the Knicks - Bucks game into overtime. I am not pleased.
-
Tyrus could've ignored Hamilton completely once the technicals had been called. I don't think he should've been ejected, I admire his passion, and the game had been decided already, but Tyrus plays with a chip on his shoulder.

From Hollinger's 2006-07 All-Improved Team (in season) list:
-
He was on Prince a lot. looks like he locked him down. :D i'm assuming skiles had him in there mostly for defensive purposes. Skiles had him in there because Wallace was out and he wanted to try going small. He did a nice job on Prince. The whole team played outstanding defense. Hinrich put on a clinic guarding Hamilton. I'll feel sheepish about Thabo when his PER cracks 12. You know, Duhon production. :D
-
I can't blame him for being excited after a signature win like that. Then again, the Bulls did split the season series with the Cavs, and they're 3-1 versus both the Pistons and the Heat. I imagine that's the best record versus the top four among Eastern conference teams.

I did. 11 and 10 in 40 minutes. One of his better games. I liked Thomas' 13 and 8 in 10 minutes better.
-
Cavs need to cling to that game-in-the-loss-column lead, because they lose the tiebreaker with the Bulls.
-
Deng was technically picked by the Suns, and then traded to the Bulls. Well then, TT was drafted by Portland and then traded to the Bulls but they had him (along with Gordon and Hinrich) in their graphic. Beats me. Deng was traded for a first round pick the following season, but that shouldn't matter if they included Tyrus.

The Knicks also lost at home against the 76ers tonight.

Sonofa. Got tickets to game B in both the first and second rounds. Thanks for the heads-up.

He hasn't been inconsistent. His play has been consistently poor for the most part. I don't think baseball and basketball stats compare well to each other, but if a 22-year-old prospect were to hit .150/.200/.300 over a full MLB season spent mostly on the bench, I don't think it'd be a stretch to be pessimistic about his future. A PER under 9 is atrocious.

12.4 PER for Christie as a 22-year-old rookie, and it took him 5 years in the league to post an above-average (over 15) PER. 12.9 PER for Scottie his rookie season (also 22) and he was in the low 20's by season 4. If Thabo's PER this year were in the 12's, I'd be a lot more optimistic. Maybe he could turn into a Christie down the road. No way Doug was ever one of the best all-around players in the NBA, though. i think at his peak, christie could do whatever you wanted him to do. maybe "best all-around players" might be an overstatement, but "most versatile" wouldn't be. If most versatile means slightly above average 2, I'm with you.
-
He's less productive than Griffin this year, scary as that sounds. He needs time to develop but he's played so poorly I can't fault Skiles for not giving him significant minutes on a playoff team. As I said, I think role player is Thabo's most likely future.
-
No, his PER will increase, but I don't see it increasing the 11-15 points needed for him to become one of the best all-around players in the NBA someday. He has a lot of work to do to turn into an average starting NBA player.

The level of play in the Euroleague is better than Division 1 college basketball, and it has been for a while now. you're now making the same unproveable, relative statements you accuse me of making. is that a pet theory of yours? :P Not of mine. It's a widely held belief of the APBRmetrics community based on comparison studies. Is that a pet theory of yours, or do you have some examples that back that up in terms of PER? what do you mean, my theory that players' skill and experience increases with playing time? i'm sorry, that's another crazy statement on my part. No, that players' PERs jump significantly with increased playing time. Same question as above. players like dirk, peja, ginobilli, tony parker, and mehmet okur all have had PER's that have drastically imrpoved since their rookie seasons. That phenominon isn't close to being limited to Europeon players, and it's Thabo's starting point that has me so down on his future. For instance, Okur's PER jumped from 14.7 to 18.3. Parker's 11.7 to 16.5. Manu's 14.7 to 18.5. If Thabo's PER jumps almost 5 full points like Parker's did, he still will be well below the NBA average of 15.

It's wild speculation after you factor in his performance during his rookie season. yes, yes, we all know i'm stupid or crazy for making the assertion, i don't think everyone saw your previous post. Hilarious. Can you find me one rookie in NBA history with a PER under 9 that developed into one of the best all-around players in the NBA? PER stats go back for years on basketball-reference.com. Or, if you'd like, you can name some players you think Thabo will resemble at his peak, and we can look those guys up. come on, a second line of posts is unnecessary. settle down, i'm not insulting you. I'm serious. Name some players you think Thabo will resemble at his peak as one of the best all-around players in the NBA.

I like Roy and all, but I like Thomas more. Although Roy's had the better rookie season, Tyrus has come on strong lately and he's 2+ years younger than Roy. If the Bulls pick in the 9-11 range, I think Brewer will be gone. But I do love his length at the 2.
