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.

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.

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.

6. "Yeah, consider Love's injuries and Dwight's back/team..." In response to Reply # 4
... 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.
10. "shit, he's also not that good." In response to Reply # 9
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.
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.

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

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.

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.
45. "he'd need to avg around 30 a game to get there prolly." In response to Reply # 36
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

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...
