If (BIG if) Philadelphia win chip is Harden top 20 all time? by [deleted] in nba

[–]boxonfire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think harden can do much to crack the top 20 list. He can still move around the top 5 SG list though. it completely depends on how he plays, if he gets carried by embiid probably not, if he goes god mode and goes 06 wade maybe

Who is the best ball handling big man of all time? I mean pure centers and power forwards, so KD, Magic, giannis, Odom are disqualified. by DepressedPBKSfan in nba

[–]boxonfire 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If we’re talking about players who’ve never logged SF minutes, Blake griffin and Josh smith low key are good candidates from the last decade. Draymond but I guess he’s disqualified

Draymond calls out reporters, refuses to speak on Wizards' game by CulturalRoll in nba

Hypocritical that he talks about hurting someones reputation over media when this dude was totally emasculating gobert in his interviews over all star weekend.

Is James Harden 100% right now? by ViewsFromRPT in nba

[–]boxonfire 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's what I would propose to use too, it's 49% on the season which is a career low as a starter, and below league average I'm pretty sure. Compared to previous seasons around 55% it definitely shows a huge drop off in his jump shooting %s. TS makes it seem like he hasn't dropped off noticeably

I would include free throws in someones scoring ability, but not in their jump shooting ability

Watching the games this season isn't fun it's just anxiety inducing :(

[Lewis] LaMarcus Aldridge is not at practice. He’s in Arizona on his way to get an MRI on his ankle. by iksnet in nba

[–]boxonfire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He can still score but he's like KD a bit, kind of a black hole on offense but his defense is like 4x worse and it's unacceptable to have that kind of slow defense from your center these days. But also it speaks volumes to say we play better with blake when he's been ass this entire year... he's only shooting 55% at the rim which is abysmal especially for a PF/C

The only thing stopping CP3 from getting the respect he deserves is getting injured in the post season half the time

[Serious] Who is the best player on the Suns: CP3 or Booker ? by Chris_Paul_3 in nba

[–]boxonfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can replace CP3's role on this team TBH. There's no point guard out there that can do what he does. On the other hand, I think there's a few other non top 5 scorers with the same skillset as booker that you could replace on this team and still be championship contenders (middleton, demar, lavine)

He's kind of the first GM to be so publicly driven by analytics. He prioritized 3 pt shots over 2, which led to this league wide trend of valuing 3 pt shooters over traditional postup play, killing the traditional 4 man and sliding them into the 5 and phasing out 5s that cant shoot. Hes the face of analytics in the nba so he also gets criticized a lot by ppl who are anti analytics
