Told you all Yi was going to be a star.

[BrianFromWA]

Why would LBJ go to NJ to hang out in Yi's shadow for the next 10 years?

EDIT: To be fair,he might be seeing that the only way he's getting all-star votes at forward is to be Yi's teammate. McGrady to Yi's Yao,in a way.

LeBron would be Yi's Scottie Pippen.

 

[KingSpeed]

Well, it was a rough game for Yi but he still got 11 pts, 8 rebs, & 3 blks. Oden's averages.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Well, it was a rough game for Yi but he still got 11 pts, 8 rebs, & 3 blks. Oden's averages.

In 41 minutes on 2-13 shooting? Those are not Oden's averages; not even close.

The hard numbers are Oden's. 11/8/3.

And?

 

[KingSpeed]

And?

Yi's worst game was still pretty decent. He didn't shoot well but he found other ways to help his team. Defense and rebounding.

 

[BrianFromWA]

On closer inspection:

2-13 FG. Not Oden's average.
1-2 3pt. Better than Oden.
6-8 FT. More than Oden.
75% FT. Worse than Oden.
11 pts, 8 reb, 3 blk. In 41 minutes. Comes out to a point ever 3.5min, a rebound every 5.2, and a block every 14.
Oden: Point every 2.1 minutes, rebound every 2.8min, block every 10.

Not so much.

His worst game? Are you high?

All of those games are better than Oden's worst game.

 

[Nikolokolus]

All of those games are better than Oden's worst game.

So now this is an Oden is worse than Yi thread? Awesome.

I didn't say that.

But just for fun (same criteria)

I don't believe KingSpeed is a fan of the Blazers

Been a diehard fan for 20 years. Have only missed 3 games in the last 3 seasons.

I enjoyed this one

 

[KingSpeed]

Yea, Batum made Yi's life a living hell in that game. Yi still found a way to rebound the ball and play defense though.

I doubt it

 

[rocketeer]

The hard numbers are Oden's. 11/8/3.

do you really think 11/8/3 is 41 minutes is the same as 11/8/3 in 24 minutes?

 

[BrianFromWA]

Who was he defending? Wasn't that Batum's best game as a pro? Or are you talking about holding LMA to 19/10? Or letting Travis get 10 rebounds?

 

[Nikolokolus]

You mean on Nicolas? Yeah, he really shut him down.

Think about who wrote it, of course he believes it.

Ummm... I was saying that Nic shut down Yi.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

 

[Blazer_Hippie]

Well, I'll play my own game... 11, 4, 3, 1

and the answers are: 11, 8, 3, 1

...I win!

...Yi Sucks! (OK that's a slight exaggeration, but he is nowhere near "great")

 

[rocketeer]

...Yi Sucks! (OK that's a slight exaggeration, but he is nowhere near "great")

that isn't an exaggeration at all when you take into account his entire nba career. he hasn't sucked the past 5(i think games), but he did suck for the past two years.

I guess it's how you define sucks...

Ha sucked... Yi > Ha
