Told you Blake was overrated.

I do agree with your selections though I take A. Davis over Jordan.

Edit: I'd take Harden over Matthews.

Davis is a better talent, but Jordan is off the charts right now.

 

[n_huffhines]

You don't like Teague and Irving, who would be your other East PG then?

It's slim pickings, but either Wall (ugh) or G Hill.

 

[n_huffhines]

Is it just me or does it seem like the number of quality 2's is decreasing, while the number of quality 5's is increasing?

I don't think I agree with the first part and I think the 2nd part is a product of the position evolving. The 80s and 90s were a fluke with so many 7' 285 lb guys who had incredible physical talent. That's not normal. I think faster, leaner centers are the future. With help D being so important (the way fouls are called for hand checks, etc.) having a big who can quickly sprint baseline to baseline, protecting the paint and giving you 32 minutes of strong effort is something we didn't ask of guys like Shaq and Hakeem.

Translation: Westbrook > Rose

Thats what I gathered as well.

SGs used to be one of the 2 strongest positions for most teams, it's the weakest for a lot of teams now. Conversely the center position has gotten better across the board. True the game has evolved, but the number of guys that can play has definitely grown in the past 2-3 years.

Jordan's rebounding is ridiculous right now, Davis is better at everything else though. My problem with Jordan is you almost can't play him in a tight game late as he shoots 40% fts, that's not a problem with Davis at 75.5%.

Lamarcus Aldridge 2nd in MVP contention behind Slim Reaper?

Lamarcus Aldridge 2nd in MVP contention behind Slim Reaper?

I say yes.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

I say yes.

Smart boy.

 

[BadJerry20]

Smart boy.

The fact that he's not an all star starter further proves are idiots. Dude has been playing great this year. Portland scares me as an OKC fan.

Start Lamarcus over Blake? I think so. Not over Love.

 

[BadJerry20]

Both IMO. So he should be number 2 for MVP, but not start over Love? Is Love your MVP?

No, but....ok i guess maybe both.

 

[BadJerry20]

Lol I almost said just Blake then thought well that wouldn't make sense. Iirc Huff doesn't like Aldridge.

 

[BadJerry20]

Who would be your top 5 MVP guys?
KD
Aldridge
PG
LBJ
CP3
in that order for me.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

I still think id start Love over Aldridge. Kevin Love is a beast.

KD
Aldridge

Harden

I put Lebron over PG because i think Pacers have a better team all around. If you took PG and Lebron off of their teams, Pacers are still a lot better than Miami, imo. Paul George is having a better year though.

Love is a beast. I would leave Catfish off my all star team, I hate bigs that don't rebound.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

2 things from Inside the NBA tonight.

"calling Nick Young Swaggy P is like calling a grown man Boo"

Kendrick on Shaqtin a fool lol

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Lol who the **** is Catfish? Blake?

 

[BadJerry20]

KD
Aldridge

I agree with that actually.

 

[BadJerry20]

Bosh, dude looks like a catfish too me. Blake is Charmin.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

I agree with that actually.

Sometimes i wonder if MVP really is given to the most Valuable player or do they just give it to the best player.

Same with the Heisman, seems like they usually give it to the best player on the best team, not just the most outstanding player.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Bosh, dude looks like a catfish too me. Blake is Charmin.

Most people say dinosaur

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Bosh cant rebound, hell 2 of their best rebounders are Birdman and Oden and Oden played in his 4th game tonight for a season high 10 minutes. Other than them you have Haslam and Lebron, and since Lebron leads the team in rebounds, that's another reason i have him over George.
