Yeah, it'd be much more impressive than Harden's because Lillard plays in a "flow" offense which values ball movement and team passing, compared to an iso-centric system that relies on one star player.

Why does it work tho? They won over 50 games last year doing that..

There are close to 450 players in the league that would love to put up that stat line and I'm damn sure they could give a shit about HOW they got it. Not a lot of payers in the history go this game that could do that. Is it that hard to give credit to one of the best players in the game? Whether you like the team he plays on or him.

Yeah, you tell 'em. What a bunch of fucking losers, getting all excited and shit when a player on their favorite team has a great game. What a bunch of morons. If only we were all smart and down on the team's best player, like you.

Same reason D'Antoni's teams always win a shit ton of regular season games and then fail in the post season.

It's a gimic offense that other teams only see a couple times a year. They don't have the time to game plan for a single game here and there against a unique offense during the regular season.

But, come playoff time when they see that same shit 4 to 7 times in a row, it becomes much easier to shut down.

Somebody please explain TPA in The HCP speak.

TPA=Total Points Added.

"The formula for TPA is rather simple. It’s broken down into two parts—offensive points added (OPA) and defensive points saved (DPS).

Add OPA and DPS together, and you have TPA. A score of zero indicates a player was perfectly average (by no means a bad thing for rookies or lifelong end-of-bench players), while anything positive means they were better than an average-level replacement." |

What’s your problem? Why the attitude? All I said was that a lot of folks here have double standards when other players like Harden have killer numbers its downplayed with no props but say Lillard did it it’s all glory to him..

BNM your a good dude I respect your posts a lot with the facts and stats you provide don’t let these homers make u hate me

Didn't you ask me how I would react when we were 16-4? I think it was after our 2-0 start. I asked you the significance of that game total. You didn't respond. Was that just 1/4 of the season?

I bet (not literally) that my record prediction of 17-5 is at least as close as your prediction of 11-11.

How does him making a post voluntarily on a subject he knows a lot about and has a pretty static viewpoint on, make it like we dictated him?

I mean, I know you feel like you're on an island, but I'm pretty sure there's a Wilson or two there for you.

Well, you competely misinterpreted the context of my statement. I'm saying it's harder for someone in our system to put up those numbers than someone in Houstons system, all else being equal. How does that mean I'm not giving credit? The topic of "If Lillard did it, etc." got brought up, and because I compare the systems of both players and how it factors into statistical output, somehow I'm slighting Harden, or don't think he had a great game, or is a great player?

Cmon now.

Because Hardens a great player and they have the right players around him?

Is that what I predicted? Without looking at the schedule, I'll stick with it. Since I said we'd win 40-42 games, that's about right.
 
Bledsoe to the Bucks for picks and Monroe. Bucks looking to do some damage.

2 years ago I REALLY wanted Monroe on our squad. His game really didn't fit the Bucks system.....probably why the numbers drop off.

My attitude is a direct response to your attitude. It has nothing to do with anyone else.

Bledsoe just removes the ball from being in the Greek Freak's hands, where he's the most effective. I assume he'll be playing a lot with their 2nd unit.
 
11 of 15 teams in west are .500 and above. I suppose this will even out a bit once everyone plays each other.

So far, everyone is beating up on the Kings (1-8) and Mavs (1-10). Same with the east where CHI and ATL are the punching bags.
 
One of the little Balls was just arrested with other UCLA players in China for shoplifting.
