What's more baffling: Dragic's explosion or D Will's monumental fall from grace? | ||

What's more baffling: Dragic's explosion or D Will's monumental fall from grace? Dragic. Williams has been hampered by injuries, which is to be expected with his advancing relative age, and he actually hasn't been as bad in his rate stats. http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/willide01.html | ||

Best game for Lin since December, who had really started to fall out of favor with many Rockets fans for his struggles over the last two months. Next up the Thunder on NBA TV Tuesday night. I love these arbitrary cutoff points. If you drop the assists and steals to 5 and 5 then you get this list: which is still a lot of good players, mind you but a lot of those games are obviously more impressive than Harden's. I mean, even the "First since Jordan!" stat is stupidly misleading since the referenced Jordan game was 11 assists and better shooting from the floor. It's like when people run out the "Davis is the first guy since shaq to go 20/10/3bl !!" when Shaq was averaging like 28/11/4 on 5% better shooting. | ||

These random stats to bloat how good someone is compared to some other legendary player is always so mind numbing to me. I follow a few guys on twitter who are hardcore Knicks fans, and every weekend they come up with some ridiculous Melo stat comparison. -_-' | ||

The exception is when the guy you're defending is within arm's length of you. Worth noting that the NBA is the only league with this rule as far as I know. NBA has a long history with rules that can turn games into iso fests. | ||
