This may be the best game of Russ career.

24 points, 24 assist, 13 rebounds,52% shooting, and only 3 turnovers

Refs calling a T in a fucking double OT game. Are you joking?

Good Win Spurs

A 2nd night of back to back without Rudy Gay in triple overtime.
They have not been great without him all season, but they gutted one tonight even down a man.

Pop will rest everyone next game.
The Thunder should win the next game by 50 versus the Spurs backups.

dont be butt hurt that i torched you

its exactly what you said--- i mean its all here- you say Kyrie is the #2 scorer in the league, yet he is

some quotes from you:

1. The fact that you are comparing Kyrie to John Wall is proof he is not the elite player you claim he is. Nice try.

2. Kyrie is good, but there is a rather large gap between him and the actual superstars.

3. I have never once said Kyrie is a scrub. I have said his impact on winning games is horribly overrated.

just 3 that i could find in about 2-3 minutes.


its just more proof of your stupidity- and PRECISELY what i posted---- i mean Russell says it right there--- the most important thing in this league is the ability to score--GET BUCKETS- it dwarfs everything else--- and for you to grade kyrie like you do even though you can even say he is the #2 scorer in the league is just pure concrete black and white proof of your stupidity and how much you undervalue that ability.

just like the article contemplates. Spot on 100%.

As the article says- Kuzma is a bad rebounder, a really bad defender, and not a good passer- but hes very valuable player because his main skill is the #1 skill when you grade an NBA player

to even say that Kyrie is the #2 scorer in the eleague, but "not elite", and a "large gap" is 100% black and white concrete proof of just how wrong you are and just how antiquated your views are

as i have said

2019

not 1989.

Wrong.

Every one of the claims above is spot on. There is a large gap between Kyrie and players like Giannis, LeBron, KD, Davis and Harden. Large gap.

Because as great of a scorer as Kyrie is, those players have more ways to impact the game the and that is why they are superstars.

Harden for example, is a better scorer and a better playmaker. That is why he makes the cut despite also not playing great defense.

It is laughable that you equate my claims to mean that scoring isn't valuable. I have never said that. Offense is always more valuable than defense. That is true today just as it has always been.

But, players who are elite on both ends of the court are ALWAYS going to be significantly more valuable than a player who is elite on 1 end. That is undebateable fact.

Never once have I argued that players like Kyle Kuzma don't have value. What I have said repeatedly is that players like Kris Middleton who are good on both ends have more than a player like Kuzma who produces most of his value on 1 end.

But, then again, I don't expect someone who gets all their knowledge from "reading articles" to comprehend that concept.

How many players in NBA history (in the 3-point arc era, obviously) have scored 50+ points without even ATTEMPTING a 3-pointer like Aldridge did tonight? I've looked on Google and came up with nothing. Saw someone say Jermaine O'Neal did it in 2005.

Every game it looked like high school offense vs college defense.

Look at Jon Richt's resume, and that's what they were trotting out there. I wasn't a big fan of Malik, but when Perry got pulled in the UVA game for Malik and the latter stunk it up as well, I decided to go back and look at Malik's game against Duke during the Golden era. QBs got worst under Jon Richt, there was zero development.

The teacher in me and the dad in me sympathizes with the ref.

PG was very demonstratively showing up the ref... and he didn't just do it once, he waited a couple beats and did it again... loudly smacking his own arm.

But, yeah... double OT, taking heightened emotions into play... the ref should let that go. But I sympathize with the ref, and PG was definitely over the textbook line there.
