Here is but one example:

I'm surprised KG didn't Sprewell him after that.

Also, there needs to be a gif of Wafer's reaction once he realizes the dunk didn't actually go down.

now he's one of the best 6th men in the league and could easily start for most teams.

Noooo way.

Are people still questioning Dwight's drive?

Stop that.

Saying he is one of the best is one thing because that he is. But yes it is funny and just wrong for someone to say he is the best. There is a difference in being more versatile at scoring and being better at scoring. The point on offense is to put the ball in the basket not how many different ways you can do it. I don't care if a guy has 10 different ways to score the score the ball if they guy who only has 5 ways to score is scoring more at scoring at a higher percentage then he is the better scorer.

There is no doubt without any question LeBron is a better scorer than Melo and honestly it isn't even debatable IMO. LeBron is THIRD all time in PPG. Only Jordan and Wilt are ahead of him. That should speak for itself. Then you have the fact that year in and year out he scores more points on the same amount of shots and shoots a better percentage. Then if you want to look at big game ability just compare how many 40 and 50 point games LeBron has compared to Melo. It is not even close. LeBron can score 30 without even trying it seems sometimes. Hell just compare their numbers this year and it is not even close in the slightest bit. How is it even a question of who is the better scorer??

That doesn't even get into Durant who has the last two scoring titles and Kobe who has a mountain of mosterous scoring numbers. Melo in my book is without question behind those three guys when it comes to who is a BETTER scorer. You might could argue that he has more ways to score but you can't argue that he is better at scoring than they are?? There are zero numbers that support that argument.

Great points, I'd have to agree that LeBron and KD are BETTER scorers.

But I don't think that being called the best PURE scorer is the same as being called the best scorer period. I think it just means that Melo has the most ways to score, and he is effective at all of them. LeBron supposedly has a post game, but it remains to be seen how effective it will be long term. I'm not sure how efficient KD is from 3 or in the mid-range/post, but I think KD will take both the pure scorer and best scorer titles, or the best overall scorer if you want to combine them. I could be wrong in thinking they're separate titles though.

Anybody noticing that... when Kobe plays well and doesn't force shots and just lets it go naturally the rest of the team sucks ? My god, this Lakers team is making my head hurt.

I don't see what's so ludicrous about that statement, and had he went to college elsewhere I think he'd be given the appropriate amount of credit.

He's an above average shooter who plays marginal defense.

He's basically a smaller version of Jason Kapono.

That's more low human being IQ than low basketball IQ though.

Dude is dumb man.. killer part is he just might have a couple of good shooting nights on your team but I garauntee he never has any idea how he did it, Ever!

Ha, a Gasol yell.

Haven't seen one of those in a while.

Then again, I haven't made it a habit to watch Laker games.

What else can be said about LAL's offense that hasn't been said...

As mentioned earlier still can't believe we're about to watch a Clipper/T-Wolves primetime matchup. It's like the mid 90's or something.

[The 24th Letter]

Uhh...yeah.

Why not?

Better question...why?

Re: Game Discussion Thread 1/16/12 - 1/22/12

Fisher made a shot in the final minute of a game that DIDNT mean something?

Wow.

Re: Game Discussion Thread 1/16/12 - 1/22/12

@ Kobe not even glancing towards Dwight after the game was over.

And bigger at Orlando's Public Relations guy briefing Dwight before he spoke to ESPN.

"Don't talk about any trades"...I'm sure he said.

Re: Game Discussion Thread 1/16/12 - 1/22/12

Anyone catch Dwight talking to that guy w/ his mouth covered? Wonder what they were talking about...
