same execution with different person

This is pretty cool

Lebron and Kevin durant are up right now debating who the best niketalk poster is...........

CJ Miles is better than Christian Eyenga

David Lee is having a great game tonight

david lee season > dwight howard season

real quietly. no one's really paying attention, but it's true

What are you talking about, they play the same amount of minutes, score the same amount of points except Dwight does it more efficiently, Dwight is a better rebounder, and defensively the gap is about as wide as it gets between any two players.

Since January 1st: Ricky Rubio is shooting 40.5% from the field. Paul George is shooting 40.4%. Goodnight.

Top 5 they said

 

[urbetterthenme]

Yes I know but KD could be great facilitator like Lebron than Lebron could ever be a shooter like KD

Nope, KD is no Lebron in terms of passer.

 

[urbetterthenme]

 
Paul

Westbrook

Curry

Wall

Parker

Deron

Rondo

Yeah I'm easily taking any of those guys, and probably many more, over the walking loss that was Stephon Marbury.

Wall is the # 2 PG in the game right now.

Holy ****...I had no idea Cousins averages damn near 4 to's a game

The spurs were a ridiculous choke job away from winning a series where the entire gameplay was to let lebron take open jumpers. To say he has no weaknesses is simply not true. H can also be frustratingly passive. He played poorly for most of that series.

He's still better than Durant at the moment. I do think durants game will age like fine wine and lebron will have a more abrupt decline one day.

 

[duba169]

umm... you kind of have to at least make the finals (with westbrook out of the picture) to be called a "championship-caliber offence"

right now we have only seen KD orchestrate a good regular season offense and a first round offense without westbrook

Not in the western confrence you don't.

paul george gonna rise again in the playoffs

 

[RayCashhhh]

Watching the full game highlights for KD last night I just have to ask... why in God's green earth was Dellavedova guarding him to start off the game? That's a mismatch if I ever seen one. When Dellavedova found out he got that assignment I'm pretty sure he was like

Seriously, that was a really crazy comparison to make the difference between them defensively is enormous enough where Lee could averge 25-15 and still not be close to how good/important Howard has been. He's always there when Harden gets blown by. Can't stress enough how often that is.

Yikes.

KD could get 30 on 50% shooting in his pajamas and some house shoes

 

[Peep Game]

This is pretty cool

Durant is now 2 technicals away from being suspended.

Dude could wear the same clothes as Hugh Hefner and drop 30 every game

Lebron's shooting isn't a glaring weakness.

As bad as he was shooting down the stretch...he's still capable of killing you with his shooting too. See the Bulls series in 2011.

A glaring weakness would be somebody like Rondo Rondo and his shooting. He's not going to burn you shooting often...

 

[awwsome]

Rondo did get hot in that one playoff game against MIA in 2012

 

[antidope]

Durant is now 2 technicals away from being suspended.

He'll be all right, the playoffs are about to start. 

 

[osh kosh bosh]

This Paul George backlash means that

1. people dont pay attnetion to defense.
2. people really thought pau george was going to shoot 58% from mid range all season
