In this weak league probably.

Agreed!

He is going to lose with HCA again.

After 3 peating and beating the Showtime Lakers and Bad Boys Pistons.

Barkley didn't get hurt.

Much like Axe's odor. :lol :lebronamazed:

Hey it's almost as if I was upfront, repeatedly, about the fact that I didn't watch. Clearly nobody else in this thread did either. lol.

Yea, he's just 18. There's still a lot of room for improvement. But the hype seems to have coincided with dallas getting him in return from the luka trade earlier.

His hype is about ceiling. Hes 18 starting at a new position on a team playing to win

No, you're just as dense as the rest. I implied that his boxscore stats were dog shit compared to his hype, and they are, which would then lead to the overall question. I also said I haven't watched the games so I don't know one way or the other.

Well, he did benefit playing for a stacked team by the time his career started. But if he stayed with the hornets, then that wouldn't be the case at all.

Ooooo, I must correct myself. In his 18 minutes of play last night, BJJ did, in fact, make a basket. So I revise my above post: Great opportunity for Bronny to score his third point of the season.

I mean he didnt produce well at all. Takes a few years to develop.

Kobe was a rotation player on a good team in an era that still relied on vets more than kids. Hardly terrible. The 5th high schooler ever i think?

Well... you insinuated he was dog shit, mate. Or you asked with quite a negative loaded assumption. You cant see that? Who knows hes only 18. Kobe was terrible at that age. Many were. Got to see how he develops. From the looks of it he can be a longer Gordon Hayward.

30 is definitely the new 20.

They'd be fine without Luka, and they're better without Lebron, but not having Reaves will make it an uphill battle. They could still pull it out there. Lakers are stacked. Great opportunity for Bronny to score his first point of the season.

I think you can blame adam silver for what happened in the league since he took over after david stern.

Similar to lauri in his 30 plus a game

Assuming this is accurate, I wonder what caused 20 ppg scorers to diminish so much in the early 2010's. You always hear the early 2000's were the least offensively friendly era, yet 2004 had 22 20 ppg scorers, double what 2013 had, and 1/3rd of how many there were just 5 years earlier in 2008. Makes it even crazier Steph wasn't even an All-Star...

Ties into the other LOAD MANAGEMENT thread - lol.

I think a better measure than points per game is (point) LOAD per game - player's points divided by team points. A long time ago, I did a comparison of Kawhi during his Raptors run vs Duncan (don't remember what year it was). Turned out TD's scoring load percentage was much higher than Kawhi's. 20/10 ain't what it used to be.

Here's the raw data. It's pretty staggering. I'm sure some of it is foul shot related. Three point focus related. Pace of play related. But I wonder how much is more focused offensive center related, as in, offenses hunt shots for specific guys more than they used to. Ironically, one of the league's best scorers, Jokic, is one of the higher...

I didn't say he was a bust. I asked a question, idiot. I clearly said I haven't watched.

Pretty much the only number that eclipses the number of Lebron's choke jobs is the number of bitch fits Axe throws. In any given week. :lol Stinky idiot.
