Lillard!! Cold blooded

Re: 12/10 - 12/16 Games Discussion Thread

Lilliard is such a chucker lol. Dude has no reservations about shot selection at all. It'll be interesting to see how his career plays out, because I give him a pass for chucking but if it was any other point guard taking these shots it'd probably be a different story.

Dragic can ball...wasn't there some one on here saying he wasn't THAT much better than Mario Chalmers when they were suggesting a trade? It's not even close...

Re: 12/10 - 12/16 Games Discussion Thread

Dragic and Chalmers aren't the same type of players at all. Dragic can really run the point, he learnt from one of the best.

that's such a disgraceful thing to say, Dragic is light years ahead of Chalmers.

BTW Suns are 14-9, I didn't see that coming especially after trading gortat

Portland with 21 3's, by my math, that's 63pts off the threeball.

That's some good math lol

Really liking this Portland team though :good:

That was probably me when everyone here was on the "Trade/Bench Mario and Start Cole" Bandwagon during the Finals and people were acting like Chalmers was a scrub for doing his job/role on that team and not avg CP3 numbers or whatever hyperbole that was being thrown out during that series.

I also said that if they were to get Dragic that they(Miami)wouldn't be that much better than what they are/were because he mostly wouldn't be having the same type of production on this team like he is on the Suns and would probably have the same role that Mario has which is hit his shots and penetrate the paint to kick it out to one of open shooters or someone cutting to the basket. But it was never a question of whether Dragic could ball or not. It was a question of how much better would they be than what they were at the time.

If y'all want to bump that thread up then be my guest but I'm pretty sure it was me that said it.

I'm wondering how much of an impact Hornacek is making over there. I'm thinking a pretty significant one considering he's got a starting lineup of Goran Dragic, Eric Bledsoe, PJ Tucker, Channing Frye and Miles Plumlee playing like a playoff team in the West.

That's basically how I felt about that situation. People just don't understand that teams need balance in certain areas of a team. A player that would make sense if you were talking about replacing Mario would be a player like Derek Fisher. Solid on spot-up 3's, drives once in a while, and plays his heart out on defense.

Chalmers fits Miami better I agree with that.

[ojandpizza]

I was the one who threw the trade out there. And it was only because Cole was involved in trade rumors.. It was basically Cole for Dragic with fillers on either side, I don't remember.

Mario is a scrub though. No hyperbole there. He fits what Miami needs him to be though, can't knock that. But in the grand scheme of things, he's a scrub. If LeBron, Wade and Bosh aren't on your team and he's your starting PG, you'll need to upgrade. If LeBron, Wade and Bosh aren't on your team and Dragic is your starting PG, you're not in a bad spot.

I definitely think the coach has an effect on this team. They're playing very well there's no denying it.

Also about Chalmers, have you guys seen him run a PnR? It's an atrocity. Dragic would definitely be a better fit with Miami especially considering how well Wade and Lebron are without the ball. Lebron would still lead the team in Assists but Dragic would be in second imo
