also also, baron can be flat-out awesome when he's engaged and having fun, but between the lockout and his back i cant see him being in decent shape in february. that said even fat baron was really fun playing with blake for a minute last year

Strangely enough, he started playing better after Sterling started openly berating him courtside.

other than it being totally tacky and inappropriate that was probably the only time sterling has ever been OTM

peja's stats for 03-04:
81 games played. 48% FG, 43% 3P, 93% FT, 6 boards, 24.2 PPG
that is pretty insane for a jumpshooter

^^ why the hall of fame is a total joke. Colangelo had to create a ABA separate committee to squeeze Artis in because the hall of fame committee was filled with idiots.

true shooting percentage is kind of a joke unless you're using it right

― Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 20 December 2011 03:27 (twelve years ago) link
he was looking for 8 -- 10M a year, IIRC, and thought he could get it.
lol too late, who even has room for that?

well it's better than PER, which can never be used right.

well this game has already been awesome, couple of crazy kobe shots, some cp3 magic, monster deandre jordan dunk

PER is total nonsense, an "efficiency" stat that rewards inefficiency.

paul's defense has slipped a lot, blake has embarrassed him a couple times. Still an offensive genius though.

mcroberts is a totally fun player, shame he both played for duke and now the lakers

I feel like he's always taken too much shit because he disappointed at Duke
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, December 19, 2011 11:01 PM (5 minutes ago)
this is very much more of a theoretical concern than a real one, in any event look at the top 10 players in the league in PER and then the top 10 in TS%, which one better reflects a player's worth? obv it's not a perfect stat but there's not a better one i don't think, composite or otherwise
getting beat backdoor by steve blake is pretty embarrassing, but paul's still one of the best defensive 1s in the league, his advanced numbers were not great last year but he wasn't 100% obviously - it'll be interesting tho to see how he plays on d this year.

TS% is a stat that actually means something, PER is just a hodgepodge of garbage.
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 04:40 (twelve years ago) link
a list of the top 3p% wouldn't be a list of the top players, but it at least means what it claims. PER means nothing.

Favors went off tonight, should be the starter.
It just seems like millsap and jefferson are very tradeable, why not trade one of them now since Kanter and Favors are the future.

did they deal odom to "make a statement" or some shit? I still don't get it.

Thought they could package the trade exception in a deal for Howard or CP3, probably. Oooops.

yeah that was basically a standing jump from one step in from the free throw line, and he had plenty of elevation left when he finished. wonder if he could dunk from the FT line w/ just a one or two step start

I know laker fans might be bummed about the cp3 trade fiasco, but use one of your 90 champs banners to soak up your tears bc Paul on the clippers is literally the best thing that could've happened for the NBA IMO
