Pendergraph or Aldridge?

[KingSpeed]

Serious thread.

 

[J~Rush]

Aldridge.

 

[alex42083]

Yeah.. OK.

 

[barfo]

Pendergraph. Aldridge has sprainy ankles.

[KingSpeed]

Something tells me Pendergraph would've grabbed more than 1 rebound against Orlando...

 

[Driew]

Lets wait to see how consistent Pendergraph can be before we decide between the two.

Pendergraph. Aldridge has sprainy ankles.

Career games missed due to injury:

Aldridge: 26 (and counting)
Pendergraph: 29

Too close to call.

 

[LameR]

Silly kingspeed, threads are for adults!

 

[MIXUM]

more important ... is speed going to this game tonight?

 

[Tince]

Serious thread.

What is the question? Which name do I like better?

 

[ebott]

Dejaun Blair.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Pendergraph. Assuming, of course, that the question is, "Which of them looks more like Weird Al Yankovich?"

 

[RayDavies]

I got $20 that says Pendergraph knocks out Aldridge by the second round.

 

[MrJayremmie]

Aldridge: 26 (and counting)
Pendergraph: 29

This...

Also, Pendergraph has never had over 30 points in a game, while Aldridge has done it more than once. Pendergraph has never had an 18 rebound game or a 5 block game like LMA (Aldridge has had more than one 5 block game). Plus, Aldridge has already had 2 games THIS YEAR in which he had 12 DEFENSIVE rebounds (Pendergraph has never had 12 Defensive rebounds in a game )

What are your thoughts, KS?

 

[Public Defender]

If Jeff Pendergraph is the Second Coming of Brian Grant, and LaMarcus Aldridge is "Sheed without the 'tude" - then it is an interesting debate that recalls decisions Mike Dunleavy made back at the turn of the century, to start Grant and use Sheed as a 6th man. Only problem is - Grant had shown far more offensive ability than Pendergraph, and had a long record of consistency on defense. I'd definitely take Aldridge. But I like Pendergraph off the bench.

The question to me should be this - backup PF: Outlaw vs. Pendergraph?

 

[bintim]

Both

Jesus. Thank you!

And as for the Pendergraph or LMA argument it's LaMarcus and it isn't even that close.

I was hoping like my thread, that this was a joke.

this is not even worth debating.

this is the one statement that I agree with.

 

[Luther]

I'd say Pendy>Outlaw as a backup PF...He is ideal for what we need. Plus that mid range jumper doesn't look too bad.

this and that.

THAT's the real question, KS. Who do you pick?

Go Blazers

 

[RayDavies]

this is the one statement that I agree with.

I agree with Nik and PD- that it should be Outlaw vs Pendy for back up PF... that is the REAL question.

If Jeff P can keep up his current level of production and ferocity, I would lean toward Pendy in that debate. The last thing this team needs is more softy jump shooters, IMO.

Aldridge is just so much more proven that A v P isn't even a question.... they are also completely different and probably complimentary players. A banger backup PF is what many (including me) have thought we needed for a long time. I couldn't be more stoked if our 2nd rounder turns into a serviceable option there.

Jesus Christ - these threads are getting so old.

But somehow I get the feeling that you're going to keep making them . . . so here are some suggestions for upcoming topics:

* make the playoffs or not making the playoffs?

* Oden: do you prefer him injured or healthy?

* Kingspeed or Trout (who's more popular?)













Oh wait, someone already made one of those threads . . .

 

[Minstrel]

Serious thread.

Pendergraph.

Serious response.

Pendergraph had 14 rebounds through three quarters on Wednesday. It's not his fault that he didn't play in the 4th.

 

[BrianFromWA]

to use KS logic:

Even in his best game ever as a pro, JP couldn't beat out 36 y/o former All-Star Howard for 4th quarter minutes
Howard couldn't beat out a healthy LMA for 4th quarter minutes.

therefore, JP<JH<LMA
By the associative principle, JP<LMA.
Q.E.D.
Thread over!

KS uses logic in his posts? News to me.

Learn the game. Cunningham played PF. And it was BS. Not Pendergraph's fault. Pendy had 8 points & 14 rebounds after three quarters. He did all he could do. LMA hasn't done that through three quarters this season.
