2016-2017 NBA THREAD V11: Ainge is a terrible GM

[Almighty Angus]

1. Harden
2. LeBron
3. Kiwi
4. Rustle

Durant would be 2 if he would have stayed healthy

 

[The One True]

juice has the most stacked team in nba history on pace to win like 55 games. that is underachieving by any definition

replace juice with a prime rob covington and the cavs don't miss a beat

 

[HunterSdVa29]

I have Harden personally as MVP
then Kawhi due to 2way absurdness
Brook close behind, only due to no D and team being substantially worse
IT2

 

[faustian]

1. Hardcan (couldn't be MVP for Rona tho lmfao)
2. Bronk
3. Kwi
4. Waiters
5. Isaiah

LeBum probably isn't even top 10

TPA = Total Points Added. It adjusts BPM to account for possessions on the floor.

LeBron is averaging 26/8/9 on a 54% clip and 40% from 3

 

[Revolver]

LeBron is averaging 26/8/9 on a 54% clip and 40% from 3

but he can't shoot since he can't make free throws.

[faustian]

You should be automatically disqualified from the MVP discussion if you can't even hit 70% of your FTs. That's just embarrassing

 

[HunterSdVa29]

only people that have never played ANY forms of hoops will act like a star player that isn't a C making sub70% isn't atrocious and disgusting

they're called 'free' for a reason

 

[faustian]

For a PERIMETER player no less

LMAO just LMAO

 

[Almighty Angus]

Only people that have suffered some type of brain hemorrhage, will call a guy who shoots at a consistent 50% clip and over 35% from 3 a bad shooter.

Absolutely

Consistent?

LeBum has shat under 35% from 3 in 8 of 14 seasons

He was 31% last year. This year and 2014 were outliers, the only 2 years of his 14 year career he was at the 40% level. Big surprise it was two seasons when he was on an absolutely stacked shooting team that yielded him a ton of wide open jump shats

Just plain FG% is irrelevant

 

[HunterSdVa29]

the rather large Mo Buckets is shooting a STAGGERING 88% from the FT Line.....as well as 38% from 3

IT's just odd that Bern is in a Bruce Bowen category of being a good 3pt shooter, and ATROCIOUS FT shooter

that shouldn't even be possible, none the less for the GOAT hahaha. Concentration lacking, apparently

 

[faustian]

I mean if we're using FG% then prime Kendrick Perkins was a tremendous shaater

j/k he absolutely sucked at shaating, Perk was more of a playmaker Magic Johnson showtime type

 

[HunterSdVa29]

I've never seen that pass gif before, good lawd

2013 Faustian disagrees on all accounts

"Well who brought captain obvious? Kobe has never in his life been as dominant as LeGoat has been now going on five seasons. The real question is whether prime LeGoat is greater than prime Jordan.

And I'm not even convinced we've seen LeGoat's peak prime yet. Peak athletic prime, sure, but peak basketball prime -- I'm not so sure. "





That's a great re-read btw, lot's of BD/Faust/Palp gems in there

Honestly, I find it odd as well, it really doesn't make sense.
