The nerve of those entitled fuckasses for even petitioning.

Yeah... who do they think they are, the l*kers/heat

 

[THE HCP]

So is CJ one of the best players in the league?

Define "one of the best?"

Is he top 15? No.

Is he top 25? Maybe.

Is he top 50? Definitely.

Again, that chart has "minutes played" as the X-axis. CJ is on the far right because he's near the top of the league in minutes. The best players are the ones that are highest up on the chart, not farthest over.

Yeah..... poor HCP.... his community college education didn't cover graphs.

Learn to read a chart.

It shows CJ as being a net negative, but he's played the most minutes in the league.

yep....CJ is 1st in the league in total minutes. Unfortunately, he's 3rd in the league in FGA while ranking 219th in TS%; 185th in eFG%; and 162nd in BPM. Antoine Walker is a fan

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

So, another way to look at the chart; despite being a below average player, CJ's coach plays him the most minutes in the league.

This chart shows Whiteside and Lillard as the only positive players for the Blazers.

This is the better chart. Further away from the diagonal line to the top-right is good.

Skal, Whiteside, and Lillard are the only positives.

CJ has made a lot of progress from where he was.
Baze, Mario, Anthony, Simons, & Tolliver don't contribute much.

Math was not your strength in school?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

So is Carmelo Anthony.

Nope. Being involved in sports, being very popular and getting tons of chics was more my thing. That's what calculators are for FAMS.

Can you show a chart for last season’s team?

 

[THE HCP]

Melo's boy Shumpert released by the Nets

You gawddam kids.........when I was in school calculators hadn’t been invented yet (okay, okay....but an abacus....and slide rule.....don’t count). And the really sad part about this post is that it is absolutely true. As I recall, the first commercial (and “affordable”) calculators came out right before I would have been a college freshman. My friend bought a basic four function unit....and it was only $99........in 1972.....and does anyone even know how to do long division anymore???

 

[PtldPlatypus]

and does anyone even know how to do long division anymore???

Is that another term for a contentious, drawn-out divorce?

Ya math was NEVER my thing. So happy my daughter kicks ass in it and doesn't ask for my help. I loved geography and social studies.

Yes, reading your posts..... #BAM

You need to change your handle to UncleCliffy'sDistantAncestor. Optionally with THE in front, of course.

I’m more like UncleCliffy”sMissingLink............and I’m STILL younger than @Lanny.........

Damn it....now I went back and read it and neither do I!

Is Devonte Graham better than CJ?
