Based on one specifically calculated measure sure. Paul leads the league on WS per minute yet is well behind on WS per game. Strange. Either way pretty much every stat I've seen concludes that CP3 is the best pg in the league and in many cases it's not particularly close.
-
PER is for losers. Whatever. Look at just about any metric you can find and Chris Paul will be right at the top and higher than all other PGs in the league. He's currently leading the league in win shares per 48 minutes, 3rd in value added, 3rd in defensive rating, leads the league in steals per game, 2nd in assists.
-
Definitely a good high risk/high reward gamble there. I'd definitely give him a chance... Webb Zambrano Dempster Wells Gorzelanny Not too bad of a replacement for Lilly. -
I don't know how you can say Chris Paul is the 3rd best PG in the league when he's leading the league in PER right now and by a decent margin. And the funny thing about that is that those numbers are slightly below the numbers he has typically had in the NBA. As much as I love Rose, Chris Paul is clearly the best PG in the NBA, and might be the best actual player, but there's understandably a lot of debate there.
-
It's hard for the general public to undervalue rose when he's averaging 26/4/8

John "the enforcer" Scott finally acts the role.
-
I figured that out when the Bulls recently played the Lakers and Shaq wasn't playing for them anymore.

Yup, before there was D'Angelo Hall, there was Asante Samuel -
Not that we would have won but it would have at least made the game interesting if we had taken a lead. Now its 10-0 Ohio State and the rout is on.

-
can you explain your disdain for boise? The blue field. The hatred is completely irrational but they infuriate me, and I'm pretty sure it goes back to the Blue field. The Statue of Liberty play, the "America's Sweetheart" crap. The lack of any good teams on their schedule. The fact they can play one game a season and go to a BCS game. Yeah that is pretty irrational. I can't understand why anyone would dislike Boise State unless they were playing them.
-
No way, they won't even win their conference now. They are gonna end up in some pathetic bowl now.
-
Haha. That's what I was thinking. Great game. Gotta feel bad for Boise's kicker. I feel horrible for him. I'm not sure how much more you could possibly choke than that. With so much at stake...geez. I can't believe he missed 2 FGs of less than 30 yards. I don't even think Michigan's kicker would have done that and he sucks.
-
Wow. John Lucas III you are off the hook.
-
He's not in the game. lol Bulls down 21-7 early.
-

lol...Bill Simmons finally picks us in a game and spends the entire paragraph giving us backhanded compliments. -
I think DePaul this season might be the worst major conference basketball team in D1 history.
-
Saints win. Bad for the bears
-
Watching the Lions get blown out is an unfortunate Thanksgiving tradition. These poor fans deserve better.
-
Anthony. The SG is important but if we have a SF that is a dynamic scorer and can create his own shot as well as Melo, the SG becomes a lot less important. It's ok to have a defensive SG if you have enough options on offense elsewhere. For instance, the Thunder have Westbrook and Durant and are ok with Thabo being their starting SG. If we had Melo to go with Rose, Boozer and Noah, I'd be perfectly fine with Brewer as the starting SG.
-
I wish there was some way Boise State could actually be allowed to play the schedule that BCS teams do. Then at least they'd have a shot to make it. It's not their fault that they joined the game late and didn't spend the last 50 years in a power conference. They can't schedule enough BCS teams because no one wants to play them. They can't play better conference opponents because no one is begging them to join their conference. Either make a playoff where everyone has a shot to compete for the championships, or let the BCS schools seperate and form their own football division while the Boise States and TCUs of the world will at least get a shot to win some sort of championship.

CNNsi's rankings were just posted with the Bears below TB and two 6-4 teams. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/don_banks/11/23/nfl-power-rankings-week-12/index.html?eref=sihp From that article: So the Bucs, with a negative point differential and no wins over +.500 teams deserve to be in the top 10 because they shutout a bad 49ers team. But the Bears with a positive point differential, and 2 wins over +500 teams are stuck at 12 after shuting out a better Dolphins team. Makes sense. -
Korver kiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllled us last night. Normally he does miss that badly on wide open attempts. Normally if he misses they rim out or something. I do like that we've been competitive with Boston, SA and LAL, but a lot of teams can catch an elite team at the right time and play them closely. This Bulls team is beyond moral victories and needed to close out one of those 3 games for a win. Oh well, the second is young and we're about to go on a tear when the schedule lightens up in about 2 weeks.
