Greg Stiemsma, Best Center In The NBA

[StroShow4]

Wizards getting steamrolled. Flip's already been ejected. Yes this deserves a thread.

[pete's montreux]

I've personally never seen anyone block as many shots in as little minutes as he does. It's incredible.

[IBLEEDGREEN20]

Honestly, he is a good player and is fun to watch so far. Not gonna say a word about his status among the best shot blockers in the game but he is nice.

[Bernie Nips]

He's easily a top 5 bigman right now. He's got the sweet jumpshot, can pass like Magic and has quite comfortably the best block-per-minute ratio in the league.

He's like Kareem Abdul Jabbar crossed with Manute Bol.

[KGMN]

He is currently the all-time leader in blocks per minute with 7.3 per 36.

it really does freak me out

John Wall, best point guard in the NBA.









:oldlol:

[Snoop_Cat]

always amazes me how guys like this go unnoticed/undrafted

[GOBB]

Be nice if some details were thrown out there because I have no clue what this thread is about. I mean I know its about a Center with a funny last name but what is he doing? Stats? Highlights? Something, geeze.

[scott0326]

Wall just posterized best center in NBA

[pete's montreux]

He's making 2-3 blocks a game that regularly show up on HOF career highlight videos for guys like Wilt and Hakeem. A center, blocking shots on jump-shooter out on the wing.

he plays with intensity and blocks everything. whether it be 3 point shot, dunks, all of the above. its amazing.

[pete's montreux]

Box-score says 2 blocks but I remember 3 and he changed two other shots.

And I absolutely loooove his body language. He just doesn't give a shit. And making good decisions like it's sunday

So far he's been a pleasant surprise. He blocks shots. Might have lucked into a good replacement for Perk. Not as imposing but defending the basket at a high level so far. Also has shown signs of a jumper.

[pete's montreux]

He's to blocked shots like Rondo is to assists. He wants nothing else and he never smiles. Ever. I want an entire team made of Stiemsma's.

It was one of those things where you either saw it or you didn't. Take note and search the guy's name on Youtube in a few hours.

Whaat? Flip's already ejected? :oldlol:

[LJJ]

Would be nice if you could at least spell his name. Stiemsma. Pronounced Steam-smah.

[StroShow4]

Got ejected a minute into the game after Greg Stiemsma shitted on Rashard Lewis.

Next Bill Russell.

Clearly a typo.

real talk

[brisbaneman]

Just imagine if he were black, he'd get unbelievable hype

[UtahJazzFan88]

So should he be replacing JO in the starting line-up permanently? :confusedshrug:

[StroShow4]

He's about to re-enter the game. :pimp:

The Stiem-roller. He's fun to watch.

The difference between this year and his previous years is that he's in shape.

No he's just in better shape than he used to be.

He's a cold blooded murderer, I tell you

[Harison]

Jermaine looked healthy and better than last season... and I would start rookie Stiemsma over JO, no questions asked.

His 1st game as a starter he had 13/7/2/2 in 21 mins., with 71% FG, imagine what he could do in ~35 mins? And he could play those minutes, unlike JO.

Perkins who? Doc has a legit center on hands, baring injuries Steam (lets call him like that :oldlol:) should be a great addition to Rondo, building new team.

[Bernie Nips]

ALL ABOARD THE STIEM TRAIN :rockon:

Heat needs to get him ASAP! He'll be DPOY.

I'm not sure if i remember correctly but i think this is the only guy that shutdown Griffin in college

[InspiredLebowski]

Wait til they play JaJuan.

I'm not sure if i remember correctly but i think this is the only guy that shutdown Griffin in collegeWisconsin never played Oklahoma when Stiesmsma was there

It was in a pre-game between Memphis-LAC.

[InspiredLebowski]

It was in a pre-game between Memphis-LAC.Huh?

[blacknapalm]

Huh?

actually, summer league IIRC. great praise from KG: "What I hate now, everybody knows who Greg (Stiemsma) is.He's not our big secret anymore."

that could be lip service but worth noting. boston got a tough break with green so i wouldn't mind seeing this work out. he should be the starter. he has superb timing on his blocks and a serviceable mini mid range jumper. let's face it...J o'neal's best days are far behind him

[jlauber]

It's what I call the "dumbing down of American sports."

And to say that Stiemsa holds the block record with SIX in his debut is a flat-out joke. Wilt probably had that many in the first quarter of his first game.

You are probably too young to remember Kevin Durant's run at MJ's record of 40 straight games of 25+ points in the 09-10 season. ESPN was running it nightly. Well, Durant didn't quite get there, only making it to 29 straight games.



Of course, either the statisticians at ESPN were complete idiots, or there was a deliberate attempt to erase the REAL 25+ point streak record,...which was held by WILT...at 126 straight games.


Even the NBA is at fault. The currently observed single game block mark is Elmore Smith's 17 in a game in 1974. HOWEVER, in a nationally televised game in the 68-69 season, and RECORDED by SI, Wilt blocked 23 shots.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1082021/2/index.htm:


So the Lakers walk the ball up the court, get arranged and then, as VBK says, start "to grind it out." The Lakers do not often make 100 points now. "Defense is the thing we're really living on," van Breda Kolff admits, and Chamberlain has been superb, sometimes even awesome, on defense. In a recent game on national television he blocked 23 shots against Phoenix.



So, when it comes to NBA records, we have the "ESPN records", and then we have the ACTUAL records, which are usually held by Chamberlain.

Oh now i remember that guy, fu*k him

[dbugz]

Just a question..

If Green were still on the line-up, would they still keep Stiemsma and cut some other player on the line-up?

I though dude's like a training camp fodder for the Celtics.

[Blue&Orange]

Yes; Pavlovic likely goes had Green been available.

[dbugz]

Hmm I'm not sure about Pavlovic. Dude ain't going to sign with the Cs if there's no guarantee that he'll be on the actual roster. Dude will just play in Europe instead of wasting his time in the training camp. As for Stiemsma, his contract is non-guaranteed so maybe he's lucky enough that Green isn't available for this season. I'm not sure though.

[The Big Skinny]

Got ejected a minute into the game after Greg Stiemsma shitted on Rashard Lewis.

By shitted he meant fouled. Horribly.

[Hittin_Shots]

By shitted he meant fouled. Horribly.

Rashard fouled Steimsma

I didn't hear a whistle. :pimp:

Rashard clearly flops at slight contact and then drags down steamtrains arm.

:)

[teddytwelvetoes]

Greg is playing great. Not sure why everyone (including myself) slept on him...he was D-League DPOY for what its worth, seems like the C's were downplaying his ability.

[Marquis Daniels]

He looked absolutely brilliant on the few minutes he played. Blocking shots like he's Bill Russel on several occasions. Hope the C's sign him to a long term contract, this guy's a keeper for sure.

[HurricaneKid]

I'm thrilled to see Greg get so much love here. He was clearly gifted at UW but was never able to put it all together. His footwork was terrible and his Sr year he avg like 3.3ppg. He had some emotional issues that he seems to have worked through and his athleticism (yes, he is very athletic even if he is a 7' white fella) seems to finally be matched by his effort and footwork.

[CelticsDraftee]

He just doesn't give a shit.


He wants nothing else and he never smiles. Ever.

I read somewhere that he was clinically depressed in college or something. I wonder if that has anything to do with his body language.

[teddytwelvetoes]

Oh great. We get rid of Delonte and sign this guy. :facepalm

1. Stiemsma isn't a scrub

2. Nothing about being white. Some players just capture the public's imagination. Walter McCarty was black and he basically sucked but everyone loved him

[StroShow4]

Stiemsma is the man because he was nothing but an undrafted training camp invitee from the D-League like 3 weeks ago.

[blacknapalm]

any boston insiders know if he's in line to get 28 or more minutes going forward?

[Duranthebest]

How did I know some fool would bring up Walter McCarty?

chillax bro, why you mad at nothing? how are you doing, bud?

[pete's montreux]

I think It's pretty safe to say that he'll see a significant increase in minutes this season. Whether that will be a starting role is yet to be seen, but I'm predicting 'Center by comity', kind of like football teams and two backs. I think he and Jermaine will switch coming off the bench for the foreseeable future.

28 might be a stretch but 20 is pretty much guaranteed.

[CelticsDraftee]

any boston insiders know if he's in line to get 28 or more minutes going forward?

I don't think anyone ever knows what the Doc Rivers is gonna do. Regarding the big man situation, he'll prob start JO (which everyone already hates), and rotate in Wilcox and Steamy. If I had to guess, it might turn into a "starter by committee" type situation, which, again, people will hate.

[CelticsDraftee]

2. Nothing about being white. Some players just capture the public's imagination. Walter McCarty [Brian Scalabrine] was black [white] and he basically sucked but everyone loved him

Fixed.
