all time favorite announcer in any sport. Loved his humor/wit.

"Ewing looks, turns, walks with the ball...good"

Just glad he lived long enough to see his Cavs pull off the greatest upset in Finals hisotry.

ya know who had a great PER?

Hassan Whiteside.

Chris Boucher and Jarret Allen have top 20 PER's in the league.

while PER is a tool- looking at it in a vacuum and judging a player by it is pretty dumb.

Montrez Harrell and Rudy Gubert have identical PER's.

Enes Kanter has a higher PER than Chris Paul

Richaun Holmes has a higher PER than Donovan Mitchell.

I noted that it doesn't measure defense adequately (which is why Schroder's value isn't reflected well). I also didn't include any low minute players. Of course it isn't a stand-alone stat, but neither are any of the others, which was my point.

 

[shopson67]

Think you wanting to argue is taking over and that's cool. It's a sports forum and that's expected. Just own it.

what stats did I handpick? It was not my post. Only said I'd like to see his FG% improve and he's been a lot better than I expected based on last season. Certainly didn't call him great by any stretch.

You Cleveland fans all blend together in your fanboy reactions. I can't be bothered to separate you, lol.

They all look alike.

 

[shopson67]

Pretty sure he's available if the Knicks want him back.

...along with JR and Shumpert, lol.

i think durant gets plenty of criticism

at least from me

he was nervous hed never win one and needed to get the monkey off his back so he went to GSW

and then he went to brooklyn- and kyrie came but kyrie's stock was at an all time low because of the way he left Cleveland and Boston.
Durant has kept his mouth shut of late though which i think has helped him.

Plus his criticism for his alt account on Twitter, lol. That was almost worse than joining the team that just got the single season wins record.

 

[shopson67]

Reading over these comments about Doleac while watching the Syracuse game and their forward Dolezaj (pronounced Dole-a-jai) is getting confusing lol.

so you made a foolish comment and don't want to own it. That's cool.

I haven't backed off of it whatsoever. Just didn't separate the OP from you coming to his rescue, I'll own that.

 

[CitySushi]

Lebron - Needs more help
Durant - Best GM in recruiting Kyrie, Harden and Blake
Curry - He needs to do it by himself

Sounds about right.

Coming to someone's rescue? No one called Garland great. Think you're going overboard looking for an argument...even if you have to invent one. Kind of slow here lately so I get it.

You're the all-pro at inventing and extending arguments, but I was just commenting on a fanboy-ish post.

I am a pro at extending an argument.....difference, though, is I'll own it and do not invent them.

you can have the last word in this one if you'd like.
