this is very underrated on here

it's prob false in comparison to roy v wade.

also i'm one of the only people here who puts Kobe as #2 wing i think, and he's my least favorite player on my least favorite team

and smoove is still awesome hater

loooooooooooooooooool awesome

Agreed. LOL Celtics.

Yeah, I realize this but I think Wade's style of play is going to cause him to break down earlier and faster.

This has been posted countless times in TZ and every time I have to watch it at least twice. Isiah at the end is just wonderful.

Yeah, IH with some pretty wild claims today.

Western Conference just scared because:

Predictable consequence of being neither bright nor well-informed.

lol celtics

I wouldn't have expected anything less from you.

pretty sure he was jus pokin fun at himelf?

yeah kinda selfpwn by SQ there.

i don't even know where all this player ranking nonsense came up. i'll read it later. gotta go buy some new frames.

This^2

I mean, in my mind that could go either way. I see what you guys are saying, but sometimes IH comes off with the holier than thou attitude and can be quite condescending.

If that is not the case, then I apologize

josh smith is god

JSIG

probably right. just a woeful team. at least this might expedite the Doc firing process, but unlikely considering he didn't get fired pre-KG.

this is really cool

On Roy/Melo/Wade -

All of these are their "percentage" stats for this year:


Wade:
TS%: .551
eFG%: .491
ORB%: 4.5
DRB%: 10.6
AST%: 36.0
TOV%: 11.9
USG: 35.1

Roy:
TS%: .576
eFG%: .522
ORB%: 3.2
DRB%: 11.3
AST%: 23.9
TOV%: 10.0
USG: 27.4

Melo:
TS%: .560
eFG%: .481
ORB%: 6.2
DRB%: 12.9
AST%: 17.0
TOV%: 10.9
USG: 33.9

I wouldn't say Roy is "significantly more efficient" shooting than either of them.
He turns the ball over less than them, but...

Wade: much higher USG%. Gets more assists. Gets more steals and blocks.
Melo: Higher USG. Less assists, better rebounder (duh).

Of course Roy's missed time.

I'd say it goes Wade/Roy/Melo but they're all close.

Also, I might be crazy, but I think Chauncey is the best player on the Nuggets. Confirm/deny?

i would also go wade/roy/melo. think melo is denver's best player but that chauncey's impact huge (lol tbach)



i would also say that the notion that there are really only 3 positions has been taken too far. yeah positions are only a construct and can be used too rigidly for no reason at times, but there are a number of good players who don't really fit the pg/wing/big positional scheme esp defensively

it would be similar to saying that in football there is really no difference b/t a safety and a cb b/c both are just dbs or b/t a dt and a de b/c both are d-linemen. the extra level of specificity is useful. bosh and duncan are both bigs, but you don't want the former as your center; durant can play the 3, but not the 2, someone like odom can play the 3 or 4 but not the 2 or 5 etc

edit: give roy the edge over melo b/c of passing

And then there's the other half of basketball that Wade is better than both of them at

damn. brooklyn lopez took a dump on the celtics

do i even need to ask why perkins only played 19 min
