The Official PER thread

[MickZagger]

Here we can talk, gloat, fantasize and chastize each other about players PER.

Current notable Blazer PER's.

Batum- 31.2
Matthews- 29.2
Lillard- 24.2
Hickson- 24.5
Pavlovic- 22
Aldridge- 12.7

Can you use colons instead of dashes? I freaked out for a second about how bad LMA was doing.

 

[MickZagger]

No. I hate colons.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Also, it helps to put the correct number in. He was a 16.7, not a 12.7.

Your boyfriend doesn't. Quit using minuses!

Good Lord, why do ESPN (Hollinger's home) and basketball-reference.com (trusted nerds) disagree so wildly? I don't know what to think! :MARIS61:

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

No. I hate colons.

How you feeling these days Mick?

How you feeling these days Mick?

Really good now that the Blazers season is among us. I'm shitting like a normal person nowadays.

 

[Natebishop3]

No. I hate colons.

That's a good one. Repped

Really good now that the Blazers season is among us. I'm shitting like a normal person nowadays.

And this revelation is why I need to stay the hell away from the OT section forever.

 

[Mediocre Man]

No. I hate colons.

I've heard different from The HCP

 

[THE HCP]

You have to put parentheses around the word official to make this shit "official"!

those are quotation marks, FAMS

do as he say, not as he do...

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Without playing a game, the Blazers improved slightly as the rest of the league played a little worse and brought down the baseline:

Batum: 31.7
Matthews: 29.6
Lillard: 24.6
Hickson: 24.8
Pavlovic: 22.3
Aldridge: 12.8

And because I wanna track all the rooks...
Leonard: 7.8

 

[Denny Crane]

Where do you think they'll end up?

After 82 games, I think for sure LMA will be over 20. Lillard maybe, too. Batum and Hickson will be between 17 and 20.

Babbitt has a 37.9 PER.

Olshey should have traded him for James Harden.
