Do you think all regular season games are played with the same intensity?

99% of them, yes. OKC/HOU isn't NY/BOS - NY/MIA - LA/BOS - LA/LA or any other great rivalry you want to come up with. Miami just lost by 30 to SAS......no one cares about the reg season.
 
Its funny that Russ actually jumps into Beverly and everyone cries about Bev

I don't wonder why people don't like Russ. I wonder why people don't acknowledge that he is a great player. Easily top 10 and IMO top 5.
 
Sure thing guys....sure thing

Wait till he gets his legs back...he has been phenomenal since he has been back and he isn't even in game shape yet.

Which are better?

I'd take:

Bron

KD

Dwight

Love

Blake

Boogie

CP3

AD

Steph

Harden

George

over him for sure

Then guys like Melo - Wade - Dre - Irving - LMA - Wall and some others are in the RW group.

I'd say RW is somewhere between 12 and 20.
 
I disagree on George/Harden/Steph/Dwight. I think a worthy discussion can take place with the others outside of KD/Lebron
 
RW will prove himself. The guy has become a great passer and when focused is a lock down on the ball defender.

Interesting list.

Before I get to anything else, why would you take RW over Steph?

I think he is an absolute liability on defense. Everytime I see another top PG like CP3/RW go against him he can't even try to stop him.

Sure, he is a great shooter but I think you can get physical with him and slow him down. Again, he is a great player but I think RW brings more to the table.
 
And again, we are talking about opinions and if we strictly use offense which is Curry's thing then you have to note that this is his first year with a PER over 22 while RW has four straight years of that.

15.2 OPP Per for Steph......17 for RW.........

OKC is NEGATIVE 2.8 in RW's on/off court

GSW are PLUS 9.9 in Currys on/off

It's not even close.
 
You can continue to peddle these stats and assume it ends all arguments. Thats fine you do that. Its the same kind of things that lead you to believe someone like HOward is a good offensive player and a rookie who doesn't know how to play yet can stop him.

These stats are very unrefined at this point.
