Those numbers declined in each of his last 2 seasons in OKC too though. His 3 best seasons were at age 22-24 allegedly.

Fair. As I remember they started moving him away from the basket on O during that time period, though I could be wrong.

Ibaka plays like he's the same age as Nene, and even Nene moves faster than him
Yo Nene is not 34. I refuse to believe that, dude been lying about his age. He gotta be 40.
He been going grey for a few years now

When you're born outside the U.S. its easier to fudge your age. I got a couple coworkers who fudged their age when they entered the states for fear of not being able to find work. Now they should be retired but can't because of it. With that said I think NeNe is about 46

Still don't understand the Ibaka age jokes
I mean is he really OLDER?
It's cause he's African
Lot of African athletes,mainly soccer players, hide their real age for different reasons
Heard the same jokes with Thon Maker and Deng
Cant forget them baseball dudes

He's got to be smart enough to know when to turn it on and off.Prior to that 4th quarter Russell was having one of the most dominant games in playoff history on 52% shooting. That style of play that everyone is complaining about had them up 12 almost exclusively due to his play and energy. he sat for a MINUTE and that 12 pt lead went to 3. Now i will admit he def took a lot of wild shots to end the game but this isn't a matter of his team being capable and not getting chances, when shots are available and open his teammates are still hesitant and scared to shoot. dude literally can't get a rest w/o his team falling behind.
I'm having my doubts that he can simmer down when needed.

So obvious you didn't even play NBA basketball.
I'm just messing with you, man. Chose the least relevant quote to reply that too... And it actually makes a credible NT comment.

David Locke (Voice of the Jazz) out here saying that Rudy coming back this series would be "Pretty optimistic"

And with that
How important is Rudy? I think the Clips are one of the best teams at the rim shooting like 64% around there, the Jazz allow like 57% at the rim or something like that, the Clips through two games are at 75% at the rim. Yikes.

If Jazz can split at home (without Rudy).
And he can come back in a game 5, 6, or 7 they will still be alright IMO.

I would disagree only because the Clippers have been pretty successful against Utah w/Gobert in the lineup. Obviously Gobert helps though and you'd rather have him there than ot.
But a bigger issue for Utah is the Gordon Hayward / Luc matchup. He's been awful all season plus the first two playoff games against Luc. W/O rudy, I don't know how they're going to win this series if he can't shake free.
On the Clippers side, they're getting absolutely nothing from their two guards in Jamal and JJ. The series becomes much tougher for the clips if neither of them can provide ANYTHING. However, CP, Blake, and DJ will probably be enough to get them by Utah even if JJ and Jamal continue to be MIA if Gordon continues to be bad.

it's meaningless and stupid how exactly? Casual fans and those that just watch SC are ill equipped to have to have intelligent sports conversation because they simply do not watch enough. They watch for the entertainment value. Probably while they do other stuff. Same as watching a sitcom or movie. When you're casual, you paint your opinions with a broad brush and overlook the intricacies and depth of what you're actually seeing. The average casual fan probably cannot even explain the 1-3 pnr. Or what per means, or any of those types of things. But yet, they still feel justified to have an opinion. Having an opinion on something you know little about is boneheaded. Same as me giving advice to an aeronautics engineer about his next wing design.
When you hear someone draw these stupid conclusions and critiques, you should know immediately they either A. are casual fans and it's pointless to debate with them. B. They aren't casual and they just have no idea what they're actually watching. or C. They may watch and have an understanding, but also never played or touched the court to understand how certain dynamics work. While I am not saying C. is a requirement of understanding, it definitely adds real world value and experience to ideas critics have. When you hear a guy say 'oh, he should just attack the rim on every play' or 'ahh i could score on iggy' (which I'm sure I could) or 'GM's have it so easy and there's no excuse for not getting quality players' or 'it's not that Russ's teammates aren't skilled, its that they aren't empowered by russ to believe in themselves'.
"Uhmmm it's called self esteem. it's about how you feel about yo mfkn self. how are you blaming me for how you feel about YOU, simple *****?"

[/quote]The Clippers have 16 more points at the rim than the jazz I believe. That's Rudy in a nutshell.

16 more points at the rim, and the difference in pts scored for the jazz and the clips have been 6 points.

Wait, who are you?
Are you Stan Van Gundy?
The real answer is: it's stupid because you're avoiding having a debate and it adds nothing to the conversation. You obviously know many people who disagree with you actually watched the games. There are NBA analysts and professionals who disagree with you. People posted actual film in this thread of Westbrook ignoring open teammates at the end of the game. So it makes it seem like you aren't able to engage in actual discussion.
