I'll agree with you on one aspect of what you're saying. It's a team sport. That's why its really hard to reliably judge players based on stats. But since there's only 5 guys on the floor at once, its also pretty damn reasonable to judge a lot based on wins. It's funny that stats guys who feel Rose is so overrated will point to how good a supporting cast he has. Deng, Noah, Boozer, Taj. Yet LeBron's supporting cast of two other top 10 stats players and a handful of very solid role players including Chalmers, Miller, Anthony, Haslem, etc. is just horrible. That's what's laughable. To me, its missing the forest through the trees. the very fact that you call mike miller and joel anthony "very solid role players" lets me know that you're not ready.

Misc. Free Agent News
imb replied to Clem Fandango's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
i think we should probably stop caring so much about impact "hitters" and focus more on guys who are impact players. -
It's because the nba is more about proper fit than any other sport.

Frustratingly successful sums up the Westbrook experience. Rose is capable of more than Westbrook and is more aesthetically pleasing, but their end results are in the same ballpark. This is totally off topic from the bulls thread, but like I said, our roles have changed. Watch how durant plays now, whipping no look passes and bounce pass entries. And like I said, Westbrook is off the ball when he's on the court with harden (the right move.) at this point, I'm chalking up westbrooks first 7 games to pressure from playoff criticism+adjustment period. I'm betting it evens out.

You apparently haven't followed the thunder very well, because that's the exact problem our starting five faces. Durant can get his shot and so can Westbrook, but otherwise you're passing to ibaka who just fumbles it out of bounds, thabo (lol) or Perkins (double lol). His assists are down because 1.) he likes to shoot 2.) durant is facilitating more when the two of them are on the court and 3.) he plays off the ball when harden is on the court. He was top 5-10 in the nba in assists last year. I get frustrated sometimes with his decision making, but I'm sure if the gameplan called for him to assist more, he would. I'd actually rather he did, because our offense gets so stale, but I'm not calling our "plays" (hope durant is single-covered)

If you haven't poorly attempted to shift your baseless, inaccurate "point" in the next 10 minutes, I'll probably go to sleep.

And what does Westbrook's better than average start have to do with my criticism of Derrick rose and his overrated status? I do plenty of Westbrook criticizing when appropriate.
-
is that a serious question? the only other pg on the roster is rookie reggie jackson, of course westbrook is helping more than he's hurting. would you rather have derrick rose or john lucas

45% 60% 38.5% 50% 50% I think you're struggling with counting
-
last 5 games 21 ppg 5.4 apg 3.8rpg on 49% from the field OH GOD SOMEONE WIPE AWAY THE NIGHTMARE And I'm sure Durant appreciates those five touches a game Westbrook gives him. last year westbrook to durant totaled the highest number of assists in the league. that's two strikes.

"wait a minute ... this thing is a willard!!" Since it's my last name, I feel obliged to ask what a willard is. if i put it in spoilers then i can pretend im not explaining the joke

rose apparently can scratch "improof tree pont shot" off his offseason to-do list
-
Rose under 30% for the game, it's Lucas III time
-

I wasn't sure if rose broke the mic or what? magic johnson even thought that was painful to listen to. Tim hardaway says he thought ric did very well. hahahahah i forgot hardaway was a studio guy for a while

Pineda for Montero?
imb replied to David's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Smoak sucks and doesn't have a position as long if Montero is in the majors. -
Derrick Rose has been ruled out for the second half after straining his brain trying to formulate a coherent thought during the halftime interview.
