Going Commando Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 43 percent shooters who take a thousand shots a game should never be the MVP, unless they play defense like Bill Russell. Maybe that's just me. They can be the MVP if they're leading the league in per game scoring at 27, along with averaging 7 boards, 8 assists, and 2 steals. That's monster production across the board. The last guard that could beat that kind of sheer volume was probably MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 As of now, I have Russ as the MVP. He's straight up willing his team to wins. I know one thing...he's in Kobe's league as far as intensity. Might even be a tad bit more deranged. Anybody who dresses the way he does has to be unhinged, just a tad. He'd fit perfectly in a Lakers uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 They can be the MVP if they're leading the league in per game scoring at 27, along with averaging 7 boards, 8 assists, and 2 steals. That's monster production across the board. The last guard that could beat that kind of sheer volume was probably MJ. If you let someone shoot on every possession, that guy is going to lead the league in scoring, but it is terribly inefficient. Last night Russ has 36 points and grabbed the headlines, but he shot 8 for 26. 18 missed shots really hurts your chances to win. Likewise, if you simplify your offense down to "let one guy drive the lane over and over and sometimes kick it out if he gets doubled," that guy is going to get assists, but your offense will be stagnant. If you let your guards crash the boards rather than get back on defense, they are going to get good rebounding totals (I admit that one is not as good a point - Russ is just an excellent rebounder for a guard). My point is that OKC sets everything up for Russ to compile huge production, He's a great player, but bad heroball tactics are magnifying his stats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Oh, by the way, did anyone notice the Dubs smackdown of the Hawks last night? They were up by 30 early in the 4th. I got a good gif from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 SM's favorite player dropped 50 tonight. Yep. On 16 for 39 from the field (41%) but.... 22 of 25 from the FT line. Of course. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Abomination. When any player shoots 25 FTs it's because of something abominable. Bull**** artistry, hack a player, extreme chucking, etc. A few of the worst things about the NBA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkeyBoy Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Thunder about to hold a press conference updating the media on Durant. Very rarely do you hold a press conference to announce a player is fine. Looks like it's the Russ show until the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's now clear he rushed back from the injury the first time and had a big set back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Foot injuries are scary things in basketball. Durant seems to have a bad one that just won't heal right. That's not a good sign for his future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I actually watched some college ball today... it's awful in comparison to nba basketball. I watch too much nba to suddenly switch gears to that and not be disappointed by what I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Nikola Mirotic is really really unnecessarily good. Dude has been unguardable the last month. AND THEY ALMOST TRADED HIM FOR LOVE!!! And can we chill on the KD Career memorial service plans? He'll be ok. In 2015, im sure doctors have better means of fixing foot injuries.

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Also when Derrick comes back, Noah should still be playing point center. He is amazing @JeffGurt: 14 assist games by a center since 1980: 2 - Joakim Noah 0 - Everybody else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
