I don't think you realize how unlikely it is that anybody scores 20 on 11 on any given night, let alone whomever Korver's replacement would have been last night.

But you're right. We don't know. But you can say this anytime Lebron ever wins one on his own. Rashard Lewis may go for 35, 9, and 8 in his stead.

Who said it would be his replacement? Other guys could pick up the slack not just the guy that replaces him. You are thinking in such an absolute, if player x is removed his replacement must do what he did. When maybe player y and z step up their games as well.

And no you absolutely can not say that about Lewis. Lol But maybe Wade and Bosh pick up their games and they still win, maybe Chalmers.

Poke a hole in the argument that other players can pick up the slack, and that whoever replaces someone doesn't have to do.exactly what the other person done to win. I'll wait.

Ftr you don't have to not respond because I said I was out of the conversation.

It is possible that other players pick up the slack. I never said it wasn't.

Straw man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When the rest of the team is shooting 26 for 75 do you think it's likely they pick up the slack without him? I mean they could. It's possible. I don't know what the point is in saying that. Almost everyone played like dog **** and you can't admit that Korver won the game for them.

You want to harp on this point I made about Korver's replacement 'cause your entire position is on very shaky ground. Korver "won on his own". You say I speak in absolutes, but then you say Korver can't win you games. Anybody in the league can potentially have the game of their life and win you a game. Korver is one that actually does it from time to time.

You said they lose by 10 and his replacement can't duplicate what he did. I said others may have stepped up, see OKC without Westbrook. But my argument is on shaky ground. You need to drink more.

Flip and flop all you want, just like with Philly's quality rotation of bigs that I smashed. Or Raja shutting down Kobe. It's what you do when you are wrong. Hence the reason I tried to leave the argument. You can't say "I'm wrong" You are absolutely right they would have lost by 10 without Korver, there is no way someone else may have stepped up. Kyle Korver is the GOAT!!!

A couple of days ago when I made fun of myself for bringing up a 66 game season like a dumbazz...well halfway. Alex Smith. The Bungles. Every single UFC fight thread, so like a hundred times. Lol I tend to just laugh it off and move on.

Edit: UTs football and basketball seasons.
I admitted Korver is a solid player.

Btw I wasn't trying to start some crazy debate here, was just saying you don't know they would have lost.

This is why it's a waste of time to argue with you. You correctly pointed out that it wasn't Raja shutting Kobe down. I accept that you are right about that, but my point remains the same. Kobe got shut down by AI's teammates. You are still talking about Raja and you can't let it go. It's a tangent that had little to do with the main conversation. 3 months later you are still talking about Raja.

To this day you still don't understand that the point was that Philly was great defensively and on the glass and that Kobe got shut down by Iverson's teammates. I may have had a few details wrong, but you latch onto those details and just cover your ears yelling "lalalalala".

Lol you say that constantly, yet here we are. Typical Huff. I brought him up as a reference point, you should go make another "should I leave thread" that was entertaining.

I understand your point sweetheart...relax. though that isn't close to the whole story.
