Game Thread GAME# 40: BLAZERS @ THUNDER - JANUARY 9, 2018 - TUESDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), NBATV & NBCSNW

Who makes the all star team in the west?

Player A: 21.5 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 3.4 apg on 45% FG, 41% from 3, 22-18 team record
Player B: 20.9 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 3.1 apg on 43 FG, 44% from 3, 22-19 team record

Or neither makes the team?

(If you didn't guess, Player A is CJ. Player B is PG)

That's one thing that surprised me about last night. I thought Russ let down; he was not going ballsout the whole game like he usually does. I wonder why.

I seriously think Russ has some sort of personal beef with Dame. Or at the very least, when going against him, Russ wants to show his superiority. With Dame out, I think Russ was less motivated to attempt to "show up" his counterpart.

Should we bring defense into the equation ?

Also, neither

Which, I have to admit, is impressive being on a team with Melo.

While he currently has an impressive lead:

2017-18 Leaders - Field Goals Missed:
Russell Westbrook - 493
Bradley Beal - 413
James Harden - 407

It's not nearly the landslide "victory" he enjoyed last year.

2017-18 Leaders - Field Goals Missed:
Russell Westbrook - 1117
Andrew Wiggins - 861
James Harden - 859

However, his most "impressive" feat may have been 2014-15 when he missed 15 games and still led the league in Field Goals Missed. That takes serious dedication to jacking up a LOT of bad shots.

BNM

We should not trade CJ or Dame. They are great players. It would be like the Wiz trading Wall or Beal. Dumb.

Dame and Beal would be an incredible starting back court

Westbrook and Fatass Felton have faces I'd like to smash with a baseball bat.
Maybe a golf club. 7 iron? Maybe 5 depending on the wind.

OK so I just wanted to put to FUCKING BED the debate that Crabbe is better than Pat.

Pat:

WHAMMED OUT on San Antonio. TT didn't want NONE of that play.
Became the ballhandler on a screen and created his own shot out of it.
Had a NICE stepback 3 in the OKC game.
Finshed in the paint with contact and a double pump.
Brought the ball up and started several plays.
Played EXCELLENT Defense all night.
Gave MAXIMUM effort all night.

I'm tired of this debate. Put it out of it's misery. Pat passes so many eye tests he's the damn Obstetrician.

So...you know that obstetricians are the ones deliver babies, right?

I think he is trying to say that every time you see PatC play it is like you welcome a new bundle of joy into your life.

 

[riverman]

Sorry bro...I knew what you meant, and I knew you knew the difference, but I just couldn't let it slide.

As with all obstetrician jokes, it's all in the delivery.

Mods please abort this topic.

That settles it, Pat is Dead Pool. (How's that for an abortion reference?)

Pat has made me forget about Crabbe. Pat is legit.

Pat is, by my eye test, clearly the better all around basketball player. Add to that he plays smart and with maximum effort on every play, and to me there is no debate either.

Yeah I always get the vibe that Crabbe is just coasting through the games trying to look cool at the same time haha

 

[THE HCP]

uh...dude....41 is a 500 team..just sayin'

I never said we’d be a .500 team. I said 40-42.....why is that hard to understand?

 

[BonesJones]

Pat is better than Crabbe, as he is an average 8th/9th man...

 

[riverman]

I never said we’d be a .500 team. I said 40-42.....why is that hard to understand?

that there aren't 500 games in a season? 41 plus 41.........you say that's not a 500 team? FAMS????

 

[BonesJones]

I think he's saying we'll be a .485 team instead of a .500 team.

My head hurts over this debate lasting pages.

I said we would be WORSE than .500. Don’t want people claiming I said we are going to finish HIGHER than I predicted.

What this guy said.......even though I can’t see his post.

 

[jlprk]

What this guy said.......even though I can’t see his post.

He said you said that the square root of 500 is 41. He's making a fool out of you.
