LBJ still doesn't shave his head.

Well you better get on the horn with your father's brother's cousin's friend and tell them they are idiots because he's leading the league in minutes. Somebody must like him. His VORP is -0.1 which is about as fucking average as you can get. I'll be glad to change it to "serviceable player". My point is that his problem is the expectation, not his absolute value. Ditto for those players you are calling good. They are exceeding their value or are valuable in specific ways that coaches in this advanced stat age love. Also, why the fuck are we talking so much about this thoroughly uninteresting player. | ||

This is why he is interesting... Everyone had Brooklyn left for dead when big famous Lin got hurt..and a guy everyone thought was nuttin is kicking ass and taking names. That is why Dinwiddie is cool to watch. On January 11 2018 06:21 Jerubaal wrote: Ditto for those players you are calling good.

D'Angelo Russell will not return to PG when he comes back from injury. So we'll get a chance to see what Dinwiddie can do for the next 40 games. He's been very, very good as a starter so far. No one knows about him now. He'll be considered a top 8 starting PG by this time next year. and you better believe he is better than that guy from the great white north whose mom used to be an olympic sprinter.. what's his name again?

no suspension for Isaiah Thomas... a 20K fine though. Ibaka and J, Johnson suspended 1 game. Derozan fined 25K, Dragic fined 10K. | ||

this is like the 4th post where you either state my name specifically or respond directly to my post. anyhow, there is something wrong with Butler's right thumb its clear he is in pain and the broadcast guys said he had to get it taped up at halftime. | ||

First, who would be average NBA players that we can all agree on? Name 3. Let's average their box scores (or whatever metric you wish to use) at the end of regular season, and compare with Wiggins. Requirement: all 3 players plus Wiggins must play at least 50 (reasonable arbitrary number) games out of 82. If Wiggins number(s) is lower compared to the average of the three "average" players, Ace wins, otherwise, JimmiC wins. Bet: Request mods for ban the entire playoffs, to be unbanned the same day of the first game of the finals. Agree? | ||

You and Ace should decide the following: 1. How many "average" players and who? 2. What metrics to use 3. What the penalty is I disagree with sig bet, it's so inconsequential. How about this, Ace wins, JJ gets banned in the playoffs. You win, JJ gets banned finals. lol jk. Don't reply JJ, I'm just kidding. No hate towards you, I find you funny now. | ||

 the Raptors need to quit whining about lack of US National TV exposure. http://www.sportsnet.ca/basketball/nba/ujiri-raptors-lack-u-s-national-tv-games-bunch-bs/ ESPN and TNT get zero ratings for any viewers watching in Canada. Any TNT or ESPN game the Raptors are in is a big draw in only the US city/state of the team the Raptors are facing. When 2 US based teams play ESPN and TNT can get a big draw from 2 cities/states rather than 1 city/state. ESPN and TNT are looking for max ratings. They are not secretly ganging up on the Raptors to screw them over. it was nice to see Billups openly admit that no one at ESPN watches the Raptors Miami looks better without Waiters hobbling around on a bad ankle... they are 7-2 without him; they won without Johnson in the line up last night. | ||

I Think we both agree Harris is above average but I would be fine with the bet. That being said I'd rather it be sig because I would rather see you posting with a funny sig then not posting at all. It is not like we have tons of active people on this thread to begin with. True true. Do you mind specifying what metrics to use? | ||
