2015-16 NBA Eastern Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

[Black Adam]

The Pistons and Kings both wish they could be a 5 seed, yet you're all over their C balls.
Give it up already.
And, chances are we finish ahead of the Hawks.

Again, your a moron.
Without Whiteside were prob not even in the playoffs.

damn...

well, all I can say is...game.set.match. pretty much sums it up imo...

course Wiggy'll find SOME way to counter this...no matter HOW weak...

 

[Black Adam]

well- unless of course your job description is SHOOTING GUARD. lol....yah if he was a PF i can understand...in todays league being a shooting guard- that cant shoot the 3- obviously limits your team.

i am not basketball expert--- but - and correct me if i a m wrong-- typically- the SHOOTING GUARD- should be on of your better shooters- not your worst. LOL.

its one of the reasons why the HEat are consistently one of the very worst outside shooting teams in the league---- they really play a brand of throw back basketball- with a conventional center with Whiteside- with that slow methodical pace- with the lack of 3 pt shooting- its just so slow and boring and antiquated.

interesting...

so a player at the 2 position MUST be able to shoot the lights out. defense, guarding, passing...hell, even some good REBOUNDING 2's out there. guess they don't matter...

sometimes a picture's worth a THOUSAND words...

If I remember, Wade also has the most blocks for a SG if memory serves.

I stand corrected, Wade's amongst the top SG's in blocks. He's just barely behind Vince Carter (still active), and T-Mac (who has a 50-block lead).

well, there ya go...

but if a 2 can't shoot he ain't worth a damn, right...?

see this is the rididuclous bull shit you do--- the idiot was trying to say how 45% is a good shooting number for a SG--- i didnt disagree- IF that shooting guard actually shot a few 3's since of course- that is going to take your % down- but your TRUE SHOOTINg percentage up

me saying how Dwade is a TERRIBLE 3 pt shooter in a league where 3 pt shooting keeps getting more and more important- ESPECIALLY FOR SHOOTING GUARDS !!! LOL- somehow - according to you means i think Wade sucks.

These false narratives are just insane and just goes to show you how truly thin and unsubtstantial y our arguments are- when you just need to MAKE SOMETHING UP out of thin air to make your argument look 100% completely and totally stupid- which of course it is.

Totally ridiculous.
Wade NEVER was a good outside shooter, but he's in the top 3 SG of all time.
Teams do need shooters, but it really doesn't matter where it comes from.
There's no rule that says it has to be your SG.
Example, Klay is a deadly SG, but excels at what else?

You just make shit up, differently, every time you get abused.

And, how is Cousins an elite C in your mind if his team is the current 11 seed 38 games out of 1st, based on your latest lame evaluation of Whiteside?

Exactly. That's why we now have "stretch 4's," small forwards who can shoot the 3 and why the shooting range for centers keeps getting extended.

your thinking is exactly why the Heat are a terrible 3 pt shooting team year after year after year. If you have a back court that is mediocre- or even poor at shooting 3's that puts you WAY behind the eight ball- and youll need shooters who are bigs- on the level of a Kevin Love etc. if you are going to be just average. in a league where the 3 is more and more important- how you fail to see this is quite frankly SHOCKING to me.

I mean- there is no GREATER link to a teams success than its 3 pt shooting in todays league.

look at the stats-



NOW FOR THE BIG STAT--- the top 10 teams in adjusted field goal percentage- factoring in 3's of course--
1. Golden state
2. San Antoni
3. Oklahoma City
4. Cleveland
5. LAC
6. Atlanta
7. Sacramento
8. Houston
0. Portland
10. Washington

HMMMM IM SURE ITS FUCKING COINCEDENCE THE TOP 4 TEAMS ARE GSW, SAS, CLE, and OKC...lol....

no stat in basketball is a better predictor of team success on the whole. Despite that- Rileys ignorant and stubborn refusal to get out of the cellar 3 pt shooting wise has been exposed once LeBron left.

Jesus.
You really are all over the place.
This post has nothing to do with the previous.
You're like a fucking ping pong ball.
And, we won 2 rings while James was here because of the shooters we had.
We were bad last year and half of this year, as expected.
Our options were what?

Hey, hey, hey....keep Klay out of this.

But in all seriousness he's great at finishing at the hoop now and he's got a very good turnaround jump shot in the post. His handle is getting better and he's really good shooting off one or two dribbles. Anything more than that he's significantly worse.

Also he's also a really great defender.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Dwade-trues hooting .518
Kyriet- rue shooting- .540


OF COURSE- anyone with a brain can figure out- if aguy shoots 45% and takes no 3's- or a guy shoots 4 threes a game- and his overall percentage is 43%- ou take the 43% guy EVERY SINGLE time- because its more valuable......a 3 year old should be able to understand that- youwo uld hope at least..

i mean shit- i love Delly- but i certainly dont think Delly is a top 10 or whatever 3 pt shooter in the entire NBA...hes good...but hes not like SNIPER good


and JR Smith- was a mistake to get that guy- just broke the CAVS SINGLE SEASON RECORD FOR 3's WHILE SHOOTING 40%...team cancer though--- LOL...as i say time and time again----- the passing of time OFTEN and almost ALWAYs vindicates my position.
