2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Heatles84]

the Bulls are a screwy team as i said a few days ago- they get blown out by the terrible Mavs and lose to the roughed up Lakers- and then beat the Cavs and the Spurs- all in the last 2 weeks. they can lose to anybody or beat anybody

what happened to Josh Richardson's shot? yikes

It was his first game back from injury.

Not sure where you got your numbers from but ESPN has listed Love's field goal percentage at 54 in the rankings at 54% even though his average shows 46% on his stats in his page. In scoring he is at 21 at 21 points per game - he is not in the top three or even 20 in either category - Sounds like you have been fed some of that fake news they were talking about. I will check out CBS stats later out curiosity.

he best big man shooters in the NBA from 3 this season:

I was talking about from behind the 3 pt arc....which is 41.9%.....unless i am missing something...

i just went right through the NBA 3 pt leaders page and pulled off the big men that were near the top...those were teh guys...

yah he has been injured a lot thus far this season and is at under 40% from the field....KYrie shot like shit last year until he got back going too...makes sense..gotta give him an opportunity to get healthy and in a rhythym. fair enough

When the Cavs come up short he'll disappear like always...

can't wait to see it happen...

That's why virtually every non-Cavs fan will be pulling for whoever comes out of the West. The boards are so much better when Wiggy is "busy with work."

 

[WiggyRuss]

Stats
cbs is terrible and doesnt even sort out the guys who have like 2-3 attempts...how stupid...

Kevin Love PF CLE 21 21 31.8 21.7 144 316 45.6 57 136 41.9

does confirm the same exact thing though...just what exactly are you talking about?

 

[True Lakers Fan]

According to a site I just checked out the following big men have been called the top scorers in the big men category

Brad Miller
Raef Lafrentz
Mehmet Okur
Arvyda Sabonis
Dirk Nowitzki

Missing in action: Kevin Love - point of reference - Bosh hasn't played this year enough to be considered in this conversation.

Who Are the Best Shooting Big Men in NBA History?

 

[WiggyRuss]

Pacers scoring 105 a game- of course they get 118 against the Blazers...the Blazers defense is just so freaking bad its not even funny.

 

[trojanfan12]

When you only watch one team play basketball, I wouldn't expect you to know

Shouldn't that be "one team at a time" since he was an OKC fan when Lebron was in Miami?

Who Are the Best Shooting Big Men in NBA History?

what in Gods name are you talking about? I was listing the best big man shooters from 3 THIS YEAR---hence Love, Gasol, Frye, etc....obviously if you are going IN HISTORY- Dirk would be on ANY list. If not for this year GAsol would not be NEAR a list of best big man shooters since he just started really taking it this year....


I mean- what is so hard to udnerstand from this Post?

Kevin Durant shooting 55% while shooting almost 7 3's a game is just mind-mindbogglingly ridiculous.

the best big man shooters in the NBA from 3 this season:

1. Channing Frye- 48.1% (1st overall in the NBA for any position) 77 attempts
2. Marc Gasol- 43.3% (11th overall in the NBA) 84 attempts
3. Kevin Love- 41.9% (19th overall in the NBA) 136 attempts
4. Kevin Durant- 40.7% (28th overall in the NBA) 108 attempts
5. Ryan Anderson- 40.0% (31st overall in the NBA) 145 attempts
6. Serge Ibaka- 39.7% (32nd overall in the NBA) 78 attempts
7. Dario Saric- 39.3% (35th overall in the NBA) 84 attempts

Durant is shooting ridiculous- DArio Saric looks legit--- Love's volume and shooting % for a PF is off the charts good right now---- and - THANKS DAN- for Channing Frye

For one thing it proves you're wrong about the so called stats you made up. I just posted a link for you to read for yourself and Love is not in the top five big men as scorers. I would see where you're coming from if you have a legitimate source like CBS, NBC, or someone like a dog catcher that agreed. Anyone?

Another solid night for Willie Reed. Nice backup C if you're looking for someone with a big body.

[trojanfan12]

Well I gotta baaaad case of cottonmouth right now so time to channel my inner-wiggy...

-Pat Riley is the suckiest suck that ever sucked
-Tristan Thompson >>>>> Hassan Whiteside
-TT could easily average 20/20 if the Cavs would make him the focal point of the offense
-All hail Dan Gilbert
-LeBron isn't going bald, he just has a really bad haircut

I need some iced tea... (Is Ice T still @ that lemonade stand?)

This post isn't nearly long enough to be a Wiggy post. Step your game up son.

[WiggyRuss]

Never mind - old link !@#$%

yah i had no clue what yo uwere talking about. Brad Miller? Mehmet Okur? Sabonis? those guys ahvent played in years.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Without AD....the Pelicans are leading the Clippers.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

I actually though think that you have to consider

Blake Griffin
Dirk Nowitzki

I agree that Kevin Love is pretty good, but his stats don't say he is better than Bosh all around. He is pretty good in some area and just as good, and as far as the best in the NBA, if Bosh plays this year, then I don't think Love falls in the top five. I think Griffin and Nowitzki are both better than Love although a marshmellow most like plays better defense than Nowitizki - lol
