"OFFICIAL" Around the NBA - December Thread

[Natebishop3]

to be fair, Smith will end up starting, and houstons bench still will suck.

Motiejunas isn't bad.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Motiejunas isn't bad.

He isn't good either.

This was at best a lateral move and likely a net negative. Brewer was the better pickup (by far).

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Motiejunas isn't bad.

He is no better than Leonard or Freeland, he just gets more minutes. He will be buried by Jones and Smith soon.

He's way better than Leonard and better than Freeland.

Say what?!?!

 

[Strenuus]

atta boy toronto!!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Yes, good job Raptors - always nice to deal the Clippers a home loss.

 

[magnifier661]

atta boy toronto!!

Hellz yeah!

 

[Strenuus]

Clippers are not for real. They look terrible.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Well, their per 100 possessions say other wise...

Leonard: 18.5 PPG, 14.7 RPG, 1.7 APG, .417/.421/.833, ORtg 113 - DRtg 101

Motiejunas: 19 PPG, 11.3 RPG, 2.6 APG, .490/.283/.613, ORtg 103 - DRtg 102

Like I said, give Leonard 28 minutes a night and you'll easily get similar numbers.

 

[MickZagger]

Raptors might be the best team in the East.

 

[magnifier661]

Clippers are not for real. They look terrible.

They are too one dimensional. When their jumpers stop falling, they are an average team.

Blazers vs Toronto for the title?!

 

[MickZagger]

Chris Paul's game has dropped off big time.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Chris Paul's game has dropped off big time.

Well, his game is based on his quickness and ability to get to the line (flop). He is almost 30 now and he is undersized with ailments. Father time is a bitch.

It's not about stats. Leonard has no court awareness to speak of.

It's weird because this is where a player would be in their prime

 

[magnifier661]

I agree with this. He's so hard to watch, especially in the 50/50 situations.

Neither did Motiejunas until he got minutes... Just sayin'

Let's not kid ourselves either... Motiejunas is putting up 10/6 in 28 minutes (consistently) and he has started like 20 some odd games. That's not that impressive.

 

[Strenuus]

Well, seeing that he can spike a damn ball like a volleyball player, i can see what his next venture could be.

Funny, a lot of people were saying that about us... then we got better, where they have regressed.

Yeah it's a total switch-a-roo

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Blazers vs Toronto for the title?!

The NBA would never let that happen. It would have the lowest finals TV ratings since the finals were on radio.

Sucks for them. I ain't gonna cry over it.

I hope cable goes away anyway, so..

Have you even seen Montiejunas this year? When Howard was out the Rockets were running some of their offense through Montiejunas in the post. Think about that, they were running their offense through him. Could you imagine the Blazers running their offense through Meyers? Terry Stotts would have a heart attack.

The Bucks played the Hawks in atl last night, and are playing them in mil tonight.

 

[noknobs]

Garnett acting like a dumbass yet again... blows in West's ear, then loses by 25.

[MickZagger]

Its a lot more cute now that Garnett sucks.

[video=youtube;tjjIKsgnU40]

David West falling for Garnett's weak sauce. Just take it out on him during the rest of the game next time.

 

[PDXFonz]

I guess Garnett is too old to get down on all fours now-a-days.
