Using per 36 as a perfect predictor when the player only averages like 20 minutes.. Take it with a huge grain of salt.

Using it to compare players who average 33 vs 38 minutes per game.. Very useful.

it's a hypothetical stat that never amounts to anything. either the guy never plays 36 minut
es or if he does he doesn't get his "per 36". for example drummond didn't play 36 because he fouls a lot. some guys are high energy and wouldn't sustain the same kind of production for 36 minutes. one guy plays 33, one 38 and they go head to head they are gonna get their per 33 and per 38 numbers. as much of a kobe fan as I am there are people out there that can pull up all kinds of hypothetical stats that show kobe>jordan but it's ridiculous.

nothing against stat geeks, but it's only useful to stat geeks
 
This Andre Drummond hype is out of control. Talking about Dwight is "easily reachable" and "I think he'll definitely eclipse Dwight". Dwight Howard won DPOY three times, All-NBA 1st Team five times, 7 time All-Star and counting and won an Olympic Gold medal as the starting center. Andre Drummond will never come close to matching even one of those damn things and you're lieing to yourself if you say you think he will.

last time dwight got dpoy he had 14.1 boards 2.3 blocks and 1.3 steals. I think his defensive potential is right there with dwight and offensively he isn't as stiff and has better touch on his shot. plus he's 19. not everybody is lebron and progressively gets better every year but there's legit reason for the hype.
 
 
I make sure not to wear a sleeved-shirt when I play ball

I like to show off the pipes

Well I'm a part of team frail body so thats not for me. Plus it got mad cold in the gym, the sleeves held you down when you were on the bench.
Huh? Tons of people think excessive shooting sleeves and extra gear is stupid... Dwight gets clowned on that regularly.

Is this going to be one of those things you defend all the time? A lot of people think jersey sleeves are dumb, it's a reasonable complaint to have

Its not about it looking dumb (Which it doesnt) its about the sleeves supposedly hindering their movements and making them feel uncomfortable. I dont think they do that at all, if sleeves are doing that, when how come "shooting sleeves" headbands, wristbands, compression shorts, etc etc arent doing it?
Those shooting sleeves are totally different than a sleeved jersey, it's all about feeling restricted when you put your hand above your head...and sleeves feel very restricting like they're pulling you down.

Shooting sleeves aren't connected to anything so that free and loose feeling when you rase your arms is still there.
Cant say much other than I disagree, I dont think sleeves are doing that to people.
 
Maybe I am alone in thinking Selby could still help a team if ever given the opportunity, as a 6th man
Seen him when he played in the Ball Up vs Bmore game on sat...he absolutely can be a player to give you buckets off the bench, once he gets going its lights out for him...he tried to fight the Professor when he threw the Ball of Selby head tho :lol:
 
He can show out in those games but never at ANY point in the Vegas Summer League did he look like a standout on the Lakers squad.
 
synergy has him number one AND he allowed the lowest ppp in the nba at his position (almost a full.10th of a point ahead)... Rose's defense IS elite now no matter how you shake it. Rose is the focal point of defenses and russy is number two.... they are not equal. get over it.

:lol: if you honestly believe that Rose is 1) an elite defensive PG, 2) the best defensive PG in the league, or 3) better defensively than Russ....then man, I don't know what to tell you.

^^^So I think we're good on the sleeved jersey discussion for now. Some people like them; most people don't. But either way, they don't seem to be going away any time soon. Not sure there's much else that needs to be said about it.
 
I just realized the Wizards finished the season on a 6 game losing streak including a double digit loss to the Sixers and 21 point loss to the Knicks. Man, I can see now why you guys are so hopeful. They were really on a roll.

I swear someone in the Wizards organization must have pissed in your lemonade or something. You're talking about a MEANINGLESS 6 game stretch where players were in/out of the lineup. Just like last year when they closed the year out w/ 6 straight wins and no one cared...this is the same deal. It's MEANINGLESS. They already proved that they are a team on the rise. Get that salt outta your system bro.
