Well yeah. He is the best big man of his generation. Some would argue in the history of the game. I guess we can use lebron James to call batum a very inefficient sf.

WFT are you talking about Mags? MM made the comparison, not I.
 
Some players look more efficient than others simply because they only shoot when they are wide open. Batum has done a lot of this.

This year is different and you see the difference in his shooting percentages. Shooting percentages are down.
 
It's a bad comparison.

Over half of LMA's FGA are mid-range jumper or fadeaways.

Seven years in and has any LMA-led team been anything more than an 8th seed? Not even playing with a prime-Roy changed that.

but Aldridge is in line with Garnett.

And Garnett was a perennial first-and-out until he got teamed up with two HOFers and a Top 3 PG.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - unless you've got the next Tim Duncan, DO NOT build a team around a PF.

You're not going to win shit with Wally Szczerbiak and Olowokandi as your two best players after Garnett.

That's on McHale

According to blue9; lebron James is inefficient until he surrounded himself with all stars

Null and void.

When you compare LMA to a prime KG/Duncan you're out of your mind.

And you know it's bad when you're listening to a guy who literally apologized to a toilet for pissing in it.

:lol:

Easy; when you devalued kg because he couldn't win anything being the lone star in minny

Big difference between KG and LBJ - LBJ took hot garbage to the Finals. So again, where did I ever say that LBJ was inefficient until he surrounded himself with all stars?

KG >>>> LMA. But even a team built around KG was crap. That does not bode well for building a team around LMA. The PF should be an ancillary player that makes the team greater than the sum of its parts - KG did that when he went to BOS. LMA doesn't know how to play in a manner that makes the team better than the sum of its parts.

Well over half of Duncan's shots are jumpers as well.

And I also don't know where you got this idea that these great post players have 20 different post moves. They usually only use a few different ones, they're just good at them, just like LaMarcus is good at his.

Let me bump this for Mags.

Pretty much sums up his expertise.

I said that?

Seems like someone is putting words in my mouth.

And coming from the paranoid DMC fan that assumes any new poster is a Tpup fan; explains just how delusional you are.
 
Yet Mags is still correct in not devaluing Garnett for being a 1 and done in Minnesota, thus owning blue9 for suggesting so.

Mags won that round

Excuses excuses... Fact is pretty simple. You pull your facts from your ass. You devalue LMA, then excuse Batum.

Batum is a turn over machine, he is piss poor shooting from 10ft from the basket, he isn't a player that is a leader, etc. Batum makes almost as much as Aldridge; yet you don't harp on him. Seems you are the one being delusional as well.

Personally, I like all our players. I think it's fucking hilarious that you and others like you have this weird agenda to devalue Aldridge. Aldridge makes the all-star game and you go "Well yeah but how did he perform there?" or "He wouldn't have made it if Dirk was healthy". Newsflash, he did make the all-star team last year when Dirk was healthy.

Stop your strawman and get on with shit. You are just wrong. Deal with it.
