How healthy Kobe will be is the most intriguing question in the NBA, IMO. It's realistic to think he could never get close to the level he was at prior, which would make this thinking a mistake.

Would be dumb.

Lebron had a triple double last night.

HE'S THE MVP NOW!!!!

Fact

KD should win just for his photo bomb last night!

Get used to KD winning the MVP for the next few years.

Rings > MVPs

Agreed. Those will come. It generally takes the great wing players time before they win their first title.

So its entirely possible that Durant could be the first player ever to have a year where he avearges 32+PPG with 50+ FG% & 40+ 3PT%.

Thats awesome.

LOL, Kevin Love speaking the truth:

Kevin Love on the Nets' turning their season around after rough start amidst high expectations: "They're in the East."

Only the Nets are 5 games above 500 against the West and a game over 500 against the East.

There goes that!

Which would put them 10th in the West.

Yes, if they were in the West they would have been buried. But they aren't so they are in the playoffs and playing excellent basketball. If you don't think so then you just aren't watching which I expect from you.

HOws that Durant will never have 5 assists per game going for you?

 

[gilesfan]

Hows that Thabeet is a good player going for you?

Hows that Francoeur is an MVP going for you?

HOws that Maynor is the best backup PG in baseball going for you?

the list would be endless.

And the same with you.

I love how you make things up though. The second two I absolutely said but never made a comment like that about Thabeat. I said he could become a valueable backup which he has been since Perk got hurt.

 

[gilesfan]

Valubale backups have a PER of 4.0.

(I didn't even know that was possible)

You realize that PER is strictly an offensive stat right?

 

[gilesfan]

You realize that PER is strictly an offensive stat right?

YOu realize that it's not, right?

 

[thethe]

YOu realize that it's not, right?

Yes, you are right. I should have rephrased by saying its primarily an offensive stat.

 

[thethe]

I still love how you can't acknowledge that the Nets are playing great basketball. This isn't a 2 week or 1 month stretch. They have been playing GREAT for 3 months now.
