and if youre going to argue statistics like that, westbrooks career eFG% is 44% ----> equates to a bad player i guess
okay, someone who only scores 34.7% from downtown shouldnt be taking 6.4 of them a game. he's got good handles and gets to where he wants very easily, but cant finish and shoots too much.

why are you bringing up westbrook? we arent talking about him.


if youre curious of what i think of him: i think hes a largely inefficient half court player, and while that isn't all his fault (a large part of half court execution comes down to using Westbrook to his strengths in the half court and that blame lies with the coaching staff), he needs to improve heavily. Westbrook has tons and tons of talent and athletic ability, he's not even near his potential and OKC's coaching staff will be responsible for putting him in position to achieve that.

i brought him up for comparison since youre stating that jennings percentages were horrible, SIMPLE COMPARISON

he shouldnt be taking that many shots, youre right, but that all comes with health. honestly at this point they dont have a lot of very large scoring options especially with bogut out, jackson hasnt been playing for attitude issues and the only other reliable source he can go to is gooden, they have a strong team and if they actually all worked together he wouldnt have to take the 6.4 shots pg, westbrook is much better at getting to the rim than jennings but other than that i dont see much of a difference between the two, jennings has a lot of potential and hes been getting better regardless of an injured team almost every season hes played thus far

all goes back to the fact that the only way the bucks are going to improve is by building through the draft, which comes with good management and some luck, okc has very good management and which is why theyve been so succesful with the draft, but that happens very infrequently

ill stop mentioning westbrook

a game winner to cap off a 27 point, 11 assist night? jesus christ

makes u wonder how he'll integrate melo, but if melo becomes less of a ball stopper it'll work fine.

blade you can post screenshots of you beating people like louie in 1v1s as much as you want (seriosly with your sound, set up, and stopwatch you shouldnt lose a 1v1) but it doesnt change the fact that he is 20x the player you are.

yea but he had like 8 turnovers (39 through the 6 games he's played thus far).

Not the best stat.


I don't really think offense will be their issue, now dat defense....

that's one thing he's got to cut down obviously, but that's going to be a problem with an essentially first year point guard playing 40 minutes a game. he's gonna make a good amount of turnovers, that's a reality that d'antoni has to accept, and lin is a smart enough player that that will go down.

offense was never for the issue for a team with d'antoni's system -- but it is this year because of how melo and amare both stop the ball and need it in their hands (amare less so). it's really ugly looking offense, but yes as always their defense needs to improve. i personally don't think d'antoni's system can really win a championship -- look what happened in phoenix, never made it past the WCF despite having several 54+ win seasons because they got eliminated by better defensive teams in the spurs lakers and mavericks.

So far Lin hasn't had a real challenge. He's played shitty teams on the road and the only decent team he's played at home are the Lakers who were a 5-9 road team going in. They got lucky against Toronto/Minnesota. I'm still fairly skeptical about how good Lin can be, although I will admit he's at least a good starting point guard. Will he change the Knicks and form a new "big 3" to compete with Miami/Chicago? I hope so.

he's played against some good point guards, and he's played against 1 good defensive team with a massive hole at the 1. he hasn't played any good perimeter defensive teams. i would love to see how he does when he's getting hounded by guys like tony allen or andre iguodala, or team defenses like the bulls or heat

He's on the bench cuz they are up 12 against a shitty sacremento team. He's been playing close to 40 min every game the last 6 games. He needs rest.
