So uh, ok Scott, Ronnie price actually sux 3x more balls than jlin, u can go back to starting jlin.

How can u watch the two w/ your eyes and think they are the same? Davis is more dominant and a better defender. Doing better with a worse roster than last years minny. Idk if their stats look the same and that's why you keep saying AD is similar to love.

the way the CBA works, top players won't be UFA to leave for LAL until they're old enough the extra year to re-sign typically matters
What you and philly homers underestimate is you ability to attract players. Weak roster + cold blue collar city = nut low.

I'm glad I'm not a Kobe hater cause if I was it would definitely be way harder to live in a world where he is considered consensus top 10 OAT

Actually I agree with this. For some reason I thought Detroit owed some firsts in the future. Detroit owing and owed no picks puts them ahead of Lakers and Knicks. Drummond and KCP aren't really great assets though IMO, by the time Josh Smith's woeful contract goes away and they have a chance to be good Drummond and KCP will be being paid market value (dont think Drummond ever becomes the "still value with max contract" player he possibly looked like). Still, at least they have all their picks and look like getting a really nice pick this year.

His argument is essentially that he thinks BROW is 2x better than Kevin Love was last year when he thought Love was #1, but because he was wrong in thinking that Love was number 1, now someone who is 2x better than someone he once thought was #1 can't be on the MVP ballot because of the LOL Pelicans or some other argument that makes no sense.

You have constantly boasted about how amazing KLove is for the past decade and now after admitting we were right and you were wrong, you take a guy who is literally performing 2x better than Kevin Love ever has in your lovable on/off stats as well as crushing the eye test and being super active and athletic and killing the STATS as well as the countless plays he makes that no other person on the planet can make let alone Kevin Love, and you use this as an argument for why Anthony Davis isn't a great player.

You're essentially saying hey guys because I'm always wrong about things I act pretentiously confident about, that means I am right this time. Cool story Boobo

Bobbo has the right to make the anti Davis posts. They're not all wrong. Most are though
12-14-2014 , 11:53 PM
Let's make this clear:

When Anthony Davis is on the court this year the Pelicans average 113.6 PPP and allow 106.5 PPP

When Anthony Davis is off the court this year the Pelicans average 99 PPP and allow 113.8 PPP

Yes that is a >20 point swing, yes they are over 14 points better on offense and 7 points better on defense. These differences are also nowhere close to anything Kevin Love has ever been able to do, not even during his Best In Basketball era.


But because of LOL KEVIN LOVE, that means Anthony Davis can't be a great player. Got it.

I can understand the love for Hink and the love for what the sixers are doing. But the love has gone way too far. The fan boys calling Noel a building piece or a great young player is ridiculous. He hasn't shown one thing that should make anyone think he will ever be anything more than an athletic, good defender big man. Can't shoot or catch and had absolutely no offensive moves. Sure, he can improve but I've never seen someone as offensively inept as him become a good/great player.

You can love the strategy, but saying the sixers are set up for the future in part bc of Noel is ridiculous.

Would anyone really take love over davis? Like, really? Cmon son!

Davis is a lot younger than Like was. They aren't exactly the same.

All of this.

Bobbo pls respond.
12-15-2014 , 12:37 AM
Perfectly natural for Bobbo to be bearish on Davis after finally coming to terms with how wrong he was about Like all those years. There are heaps of similarities. Fool me once etc...

But yea he's wrong here. BrowGOAT
12-15-2014 , 12:53 AM
Hard for a scorned lover to build that trust back up with the next person they date
12-15-2014 , 12:57 AM
I don't necessarily agree with Bobbo's stance on Brow, but he's still a bit overrated as it relates to his current production. He's pretty poor at defending the PnR and his rim protection numbers are meh.

Among top 15 shot blockers:



He's 2nd to last in efficiency and last, when adjusted for minutes, in the amount of shots he's contesting at the rim. Part of that is due to playing next to Asik but it's also a result of him often being a half second late in recognizing plays. He's almost certain to improve on that, but he's not there yet.
12-15-2014 , 12:58 AM
I will note that he is seemingly better at contesting shots this year. He's contesting 0.3 shots less per game but Asik contests much more shots than Brow's counterparts from last year. He still has plenty of work to do defensively, though.
12-15-2014 , 01:13 AM
Brow (as would pretty much everyone on the Hornets esp Ryan Anderson) would improve tremendously if Monty Williams simply disappeared tonight.

wasn't love's on off splits last year in the 15-20 point range?

edit: can't find the d-rating #s, but o-rating with love on compared to off court last year was 11 points on the wolves.
12-15-2014 , 02:03 AM
Mike Malone fired. Ty Corbin interim coach.
12-15-2014 , 02:03 AM
that's pretty surprising

hoping for some classic kings implosion and a huge losing streak because malone didn't seem that terrible
12-15-2014 , 02:06 AM
looks like ty corbin is the new HC. lol
12-15-2014 , 02:08 AM
They'd be like 13-11/14-10 with Boogie. So weird given what Ty Corbin hasn't accomplished. I'm guessing dead hookers.
12-15-2014 , 02:10 AM
lol Bobbo and his Kings over 30 wins bet
