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.

Blah blah blah. I pull those stats from the various resources available on the internet.
Re Nic - I've always thought he should be the 3rd option on a team, and he shouldn't be, and has never been asked to be a leader. Now you're faulting him for not filling a role he hasn't been asked to perform? He's exceeding my expectations despite his decreased efficiency. But I've always seen a few holes in his game - example, he's not a great dribbler. I call 'em like I see 'em, not how I wish they were.
And seriously - just stop with the all-star crap. I DON'T FUCKING CARE. Being an "all-star" is not a skill, it does not help you score more, defend better, or win more games.
My time's up - until tomorrow, or some other time.
 
The reason why I can't take Mags serious:

When I went into the toilet, I started talking to the stool, apologizing that I was peeing it it's mouth. It answered "That's what I'm here for". Now I didn't hear it actually say that. It talked to me telepathically. So I started laughing really hard. I realized that the toilet couldn't talk to me and I laughed at myself that I actually believed it happened.

Try me again, Mags!

Here blue9; let me use some of your bullshit strawman on you.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/batumni01/shooting/2013/

3-10 ft from the basket; batum is a dismal 31%. 16ft-inside 3; Batum is a terrible 36%. But what makes matters worse is the majority of his shots are coming from the 3 point line.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/batumni01.html

He is turning the ball over a terrible 2.9 times PER FUCKING GAME! He is shooting his career worst at 42% overall. You would think that he got this amazing contract; that he would perform according to his contract.

We should trade Batum now for 2-3 good pieces to build around while Batum's value is high.

:lol: Um, no.

Anyone who tries to rationalize LMA being on the same tier as MN's KG or Duncan is out of their mind.

Keep digging that hole, Mags!

LMAO!!!!! Obviously your perception skills are off. I wasn't the one comparing KG and Duncan to Aldridge. That was Roytoy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Are you saying he's not efficient?

If so, what makes him inefficient?

Sorry when you asked that question; I wasn't on a computer. I was on my phone and digging up actual references would have been a nightmare.

Give me a minute and I will explain. I'm on a computer right now.

I compared his FG% to the list of PF that made the all-star game in the last two years, minus David Lee, added Dirk and Love instead

Just for the record
 
He's Rasheed Wallace.

A player who shouldn't be your franchise player, and should be your 3rd/4th guy.

Exactly like how Detroit used him.

I know and I got that comparison. I was just clearly pointing out how delusional Fez is. He must be on meds or something,
 
Id say coaches disagree with your assessment of dmc being better than lma Fez.

I'll take a group of nba coaches votes over a guy that said lillard was garbage during the draft process.

They need a legit go-to guy.

LMA is not that. And nearly a decade in, he'll never be that guy.

Love, Bosh, Lee, Millsap....not legit #1's

The Blazers aren't going to be able to build a team like OKC or Miami. They're going to need a collection of talent throughout the roster like the Mavericks had. That team was Dirk, Jet, 3pt shooters
