2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

Did you know that Nance Jr. is only 2 yeas younger than Draymond?

Let's compare:
Player A:
3x All Star
2x All NBA
4x All NBA Defense
1x Defensive Player of the Year

Player B:

Can we live in The Now please? Player B - better overall numbers TODAY.

Do you know it's easier to get numbers on a bad team than it is a good team?

Yeah, Draymond is really hurting the team not taking shots away from Durant, Curry, Thompson, and Cousins

.584 to .526 TS%
Green can't knock down open jumpers to save his life.

Scoring I agree wholeheartedly. getting assists might be easier when passing to better players. Never mind that. Would also think having better players around you might make it easier, and not harder, to make your own shots. Let's ignore this too, right?

does figure....as it shows comparing the 2 not so crazy.

Until you realize that not one GM in the league would rather have Nance over Dray, anyway.

Here's a stat for you....on/off court ratings for 2018-19.

Draymond:
On Court ORTG - 118.5
Off Court ORTG - 114.6
Difference: +3.9

On Court DRTG - 107.8
Off Court DRTG - 111.7
Difference: -3.9

Nance:
On Court ORTG - 107.6
Off Court ORTG - 108.5
Difference: -0.6

On Court DRTG - 117.2
Off Court DRTG - 118.2
Difference: -1.5


Draymond is significantly better on both ends of the court. Nance isn't even a positive to his team when he's on the floor on offense. LOL at saying they're comparable.

Who said he was? But the fact he plays with all 4 who draw attention away from him and he still cannot shoot is telling.

You're absolutely right. And he would be trash if that was his sole job on the team. Fortunately for a guy who's a perennial defensive player of the year and a power forward who facilitates his team offense and leads the team in assists, that's not his primary role.

Yep, it's telling that he doesn't shoot well. You're a genius

LOL at this spin and now ignoring his teammates after using teammates earlier.

 

[dtgold88]

You polled every single one of them?

 

[dtgold88]

No doubt he is useful on his team. Not nearly what he used to be as he is regressing. Think if he could shoot they'd maybe have him shoot more?

 

[CitySushi]

Well you're comparing a guy who has no measurable value to a guy who's proven his value is not in his statistics. Why don't you just say Nance Jr. is better than Ben Wallace while you're at it. I mean Ben Wallace must be shit because he averaged less than 6.0 pts per game for his career.

Name a season, in which, the Warriors relied upon Draymond as a shooter in order for them to win. I'll wait.

 

[dtgold88]

And shooting's a big part of basketball if you weren't aware. Not sure one needs to be a genius to know this, but OK.

 

[Wamu]

Let me see if I gots this right.


Nance, Jr. > Draymond

any other GM > Pat Riley

Tristan > Whiteside

Dan Gilbert > any other owner

Cleveland > Miami

macaroni salad > potato salad

We are talking about a regressing Draymond Green. If he were playing like he had in the past it probably never gets brought up.....but he's not.

who said "relied on him"? But he has taken more shots in the past. Is it your belief if he COULD hit shots he would not take more?

Shooting's a big part of the game? Are you sure? Well shit someone tell Westbrick & his .425 shooting % this year.
