2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

[rook]

Having an argument with my brother right now who thinks Nick Young can average 15 a game off the bench on a winner

Eh. He see him like beasley who for some reason gets no burn for the heat.

But when you think about it, it's really funny

He only averages 17 a game on a bottom dweller. Like...with unlimited shots, and a high usage rate, no regard for efficiency, he only got 17....

So on a winner, with diminished minutes and usage rate, how would he even get to 15? I don't see it

He was on the bench for a winner in 11-12 with the Clippers. Thing is he never came off the bench he just rode it.

exactly

12, 13 as a winner > 17 as a chucking loser.

Couldn't the same have been said for Jamal Crawford before he got to Atlanta? Crawford is a better ball handler, which makes him a bit more versatile though, but they're more or less the same player.

isnt autoloading vids a violation?

reported for messing up my browsing

Not trying to get banned so close to playoff time. No more Vines for me.

Jamal Crawford is a much better all around player than Nick Young.

Nick does nothing but score.

Jamal gave you a few boards and assists and a steal a night and hovered around 20pts a game before going to ATL

Awful comparison really

 

[100027]

Jamal was also a better scorer (and I'm not really a huge Crawford fan). He averaged 19-20ppg every year he was on the Knicks I believe.

Nick Young has a great personality, but if this season is his best then he's probably not an NBA starter (or major contributor) long term IMO.

 

[pmatic]

Both their respective per 36 numbers are similar (Crawford does best Young, but it's pretty darn close).

Edit:

I can't believe I'm "defending" Young. Thank goodness the season ends tonight.

 

[cashbanks]

No that's pretty much a fact if Nick Young is one of your 6-7 best players your team probably isn't very good

 

[ny mavurs]

Aiight, Brent Barry trippin

What did he say?

last thing blake wants to see is z-bo in the 1st round again lol

I actually believe Blake would be ready for that

Teams tanking for playoff position

^^ That CP move was nothing to write home about. It was still #1 on SportsCenter smh

 

[trueprada]

i agree

slow night in league i guess 

 

i mean it was dope 

 

[buc em]

Wizards....I'm rooting for you tonight.

I want to see LeBron play in person against the Bobcats rather than see them play the Bulls or Raptors.

 

[Hahahaha]

Yeah, it was nice but I was stunned they had that at #1. Iman Shumpert put Paul Pierce on the floor and then almost hit his head on the rim on the dunk off the backboard pass

 

[ny mavurs]

All these seeding scenarios have been messing with my head

 

[pmatic]

As long as we get Thunder-Grizzlies and Clippers-Warriors, I'll be a happy man.

Then again, living on the East Coast does me no good.

 

[MVP]

We should be rooting for BKN to lose, WAS to win, BK slides to the 6 seed so we get IND/CHI & MIA/BKN in the 2nd round at least make one round of the East playoffs interesting.

It's crazy how Lebron bouta pass ****** that been in the league longer in points

Bron got 23,170 points, Vinsanity got 23,181
By next season its possible he'll eclipse Jesus, Duncan and Pierce

Why is that crazy?  It's not really that crazy.

He's only been in the league 10-11 yrs and these other guys are OGs that's why.
