he HATES Dwight Howard. straight up HATES him, to the level I haven't heard him describe since he first started talking about John Cena (lol) 10 years ago. he even brought up the "Cena" hate when discussing him.

his chief reason is that, he's dominant on the defensive side, but is (his words) some bullshit offensively. he has no offensive moves.

I thought of that when I read this article.

the first guy I thought of for this one since I knew his broke HGH-He-Man-Action-Figure-Ass was averaging like 15/16 all year.

The first person I thought of was actually Blake Griffin, because as well as the Clippers' season has gone he really hasn't beasted the way folks thought he would.

yeah love woulda had it. demarcus will get there if he ever really matures...bron or durant could do 20/10 if they wanted. that's about all i see.

those others....griffin or aldridge. their JOBS are fucking best in the league pfs and being 20/10. fuck dwight, al jeff, and josh smith too.

for shame.

so yeah. fuck this age 24 shit. he's been in his prime.

38/g rookie year, 36 last yr, 32.6 this year. His numbers are still down a bit per 36, but it's not as bad as it seems.

at least he guarantees the sixers are either very good or terrible. can't deal with josh smith and another season of mediocrity.

but mostly i was just pointing out that this year was a statistical anomaly and people shouldn't get all weird about it. howard, love, griffin and bynum are all guys who normally would have put up 20/10 in their current situations (without injuries or griffin's low minutes). plus there's a bunch of dudes like cousins, jefferson, lee and duncan who are really close, not to mention pau, bosh, z-bo and boozer who have done similar numbers in the past.

I love wrestling fans that take it that serious lol.

... I don't put an insane amount of weight into this. It's pretty fluky.

That having been said, comparing the names of the current 20/10 types (Howard, Griffin, Randolph, Love) vs. those of the past does say something about the state of the big man in the guard-oriented NBA of today.

Yeah...this ^^^^^^^^

*Waits for Lebron Stans to OD*

plus he hookin up wit Ky Ky in 2.

but he's only playing 31 minutes a game.

the talent is there, but results are pretty ordinary: good rebounder and passer who turns the ball over a ton and a volume scorer with slightly below-average efficiency.

he could be very good in the right environment, but his brain and sacramento is a bad combo.

a 8 year bully...once he is out of Sac (if he gets out) he will be better

that would be a lot better if he got his head right and on a stable squad.

cause even with no shooting he's 18 and 10. his defense has gotten a smidge better too.

to his credit, he's worked his way up to a TS% of 52%, which is a hair below average for a center (54%). that's a second year of improvement in that category (48% as a rookie, 50% last season). since he shoots a LOT, that's a big deal.

he also blocks a pathetic amount of shots for a center.

even favors would have been a much better pick.

>even favors would have been a much better pick.

yup, that was the time to swap that pick out. Shit I'd rather Monroe, George & maybe even Bledsoe too.

turner is terrible. favors, cousins, monroe, aminu, hayward, george, larry sanders, bledsoe, avery bradley, fields, booker, pondexter, vazquez and lance are all better.

peep the carnage:

Just like he has been doing throughout his career against your boys KG/Dirk/CWebb/Sheed/Brand/Shaq/Pau.....there is a reason why he has more double-doubles that any active player although, Sheed & KG came into the league 2 years earlier. He will be 20/10 in the 'off, book it.

Co-sign

Not to mention Boston w/o KG.

and Lakers were the 1 seed. Spurs probably would have beat Orlando in the finals had they made it...unfortunately because their conference was so competitive they got bounced in the 1st round in a quick 5 games so I guess we'll never know.

>Not to mention Boston w/o KG.

What about beating Boston in the Finals WITH KG?

Or for the last 6.

8 more games left, he probably won't pad his stats to average 20.

AD & LA on the cusp...

It's became cool to shit on Melo but that dude is balling his ass off with that bum ass squad, I don't know how long he's going to hold up playing 40+mpg though...
