Blazers vs Warriors 10/19 Game Thread

[Run BJM]

Damn, here I just guzzled half of a fifth of wine and I "half" to spell out out the numbers for this half-pint CupWizier.

MIN..FGM-A..3PM-A..FTM-A..OREB..DREB..REB..AST..STL..BLK..TO..PF..+/-..PTS..NAME

27 07-11 0-0 4-4 1 1 2 1 1 2 0 1 +10 18 LaMarcus Aldridge
08 02-03 1-2 0-0 0 3 3 1 0 0 0 1 +02 05 Luke Babbitt
05 01-02 0-0 0-0 2 2 4 0 1 0 0 0 +08 02 Victor Claver
40 10-16 1-2 4-4 3 6 9 2 2 2 0 2 +20 25 Total of the 3 Blazers

35 10-17 0-1 4-4 2 6 8 4 1 0 2 4 -11 24 David Lee

05 00--01 1-1 0-0 1 0 1 -2 1 2 -2 -2 31 01 Differences

I used leading zeroes to make columns line up. That columnar alignment got messed up in the last line, which is our 3 guys minus Lee, because I included negative signs.

So, see how close they were except +/-? Our 3 neutralized him. You'd think at first glance that he was the big difference for his team's win.

Lee is productive as hell, but its not worth very much as he gives up just as much on the other end. Can't defend one-on-one, not an impactful help defender. Hes become an ok go-to scorer, and hes long been efficient as hell with his shooting and finishing on the pick and roll, one of the best passers and smartest offensive players among all bigs in the league. If he could play a lick of defense he'd be a hell of a player, but as the Blazers' play-by-play guy said, hes overmatched physically most nights.

Dunno about the "neutralization" argument. Take out Claver and you have Aldridge/Babbit matching exactly with Lee's 35 minutes, then Lee still outproduces them. Did Babbit ever actually play PF? What about Landry who also wrecked shop pretty good as a PF/C?

I have no idea what any of those^ numbers mean, but David Lee FLAT OUT BRINGS IT! Undersized and white and he straight leaves it all out on the court. He can't guard anybody on D, but he is actually a warrior! Does more with less then almost anybody else in the league.

Did you hear that opinion from a close relation?

Like most of your posts...... I actually don't understand what this means.

Thought you didn't think whiteys could ball. Last season, he was one of only three players to average over 20ppg and 9 rpg. His last year with the Knicks he averaged 20.2/11.7 and he has a career PER = 19.2. He's also shot over .500 FG% in each of his 7 seasons in the league. Not too shabby for an unathletic white guy.

Beside Przybilla, he is probably the only whitey I like!
