Lamb getting minutes in Boston with Walker out. Putting up pts

Expand ...

His game style and body type are way too good to be getting so little minutes...
 
In like a 50 pt blowout, the garbage time king!

Walker put up 18 and 10 in a win vs ATL, still the second best pg in the east. Best 3pt pull up shooter in the L via stats.nba.com ( edit: lowry has been scorching, he is in the lead, kemba 2nd)

He's not better than Kyrie Irving or John Wall.

This has been a point of debate over the last few pages of this thread. Its close. Kemba has made a big leap each of the past 2 years - he is knocking down 41% from 3 on relatively high volume. This has completely changed his game. Defenders could go under screens vs. him just 2 years ago.

What a play...watched this 10x already.

Westbrooks good still not the MVP. Harden the runaway there IMO. I would actually place lbj or Durant second

He's averaging a triple double so far, he's definitely the MVP right now.

Take a look at hardens numbers and , this is key, his efficiency with those numbers. I'm not duped by rwb rbd/assist hunting

Harden is ahead of Westbrook for the MVP race in my eyes. They've won 10 in a row now and his numbers are just as good.
 
Kawhi should be in the discussion, though I saw an article the other day on CBS that says Kawhi has been so good defensively he has actually hurt the Spurs. They're defensive rating is way better with him off the floor.

Yea, interesting article. The idea is that he is so good that he will matchup versus the other teams best wing, who will then plant himself far away from the hoop, effectively making the game 4v4. Kawhi has also become one of the best iso players in the league, which is mind blowing considering where his game was 3-4 years ago.

I don't mind Westbrook getting the award. Presti has done an unbelievably bad job assembling a roster around RW and they are 16-11.

How does that work?
 
@tzznandrew very very true . I mean westbrooks numbers at first glance are the same or better than hardens but when you include team success and just general eye test (plus some more in depth stuff like playtype efficiency) I give the beard an edge.

C'mon, guys ahead or in the convo

Kyrie
Wall
Lowry
IT
Dragic
Maybe even Teague

He's top 5 maybe, he's having a good shooting year so far

He signed a bad deal given the current $$ in the league

Alright, I think Wall is better than Kemba and Lowry probably a bit better as well, with IT and Kyrie on the level or a bit worse, but Dragic is NOWHERE near the player Kemba is.
 
I would take Dragic in a heartbeat over Kemba, you have to be kidding. Get off the bias homer pills.

Hm, it's weird cuz im like the one person in this thread who said John Wall was better than Kemba, but I'm a homer. Pretty odd how ya figured that one bud. Also kinda peculiar that Kemba has better numbers than Dragic and the Heat are 9-18 but you would take him "in a heartbeat" over Kemba. Hey man, to each his own though and stuff like that.

You have to be kidding. I hate players who can't shoot unless they're Drummond, Jordan, Gortat, etc.

I can't believe people are so biased that they can't see straight. Kemba is awesome, but Dragic is better and much better in tough spots.

You are outing yourself as someone who does not watch an iota of NBA. I bet you have never even seen Dragic play. You could have atleast googled "Goran Dragic stats" to see that he shoots worse than Kemba.
 
Huh? Are you basing on 1/4 of this one season?

Dragic is 47% career FG, Kemba is < 41% and that is up due to this year

Yes, watch some NBA from time to time

You're a dummy. Go find one NBA analyst who says that Dragic is better than Kemba and I will never post on the board again.

FWIW, Kemba wasn't a particularly good NBA player until last year, when he fixed his shot. So Dragic, before he began to decline was better than Kemba before he got good. So you have that on your side.

This is probably the nicest thing that has been said about him since he created his account. Between this and the comments about the guy from North Florida outplaying our big's, I'm starting to think he's just trying to get a reaction.
