2011-2012 NBA Thread: The Chris Paul and Dwight Howard sweepstakes

[Deejay]

Few things

1. in your imaginary deep bench shumpert is out of position.

2. J.R. Smith is as streaky a shooter as there is in this game. If you're relying on him for constant instant offense you're in deep shit. Knicks should've waited for Wilson chandler who would have been a better fit for this team.

3. Your team isn't deep bro. No one on your bench would start for a contending team unless they the bobcats or hornets except shumpert who should be starting over Landry anyway.

4. You touted ppp but you neglected to cite the fact that the improvement came when melo and amare were out of the lineup. Your defense sucks bro.


5. You flash lins steal numbers like it means something. I've said it to cail and I've said it to moss when they were trying to tell me Rubio and teague were elite defenders. Steals would mean something if the league played man 2 man defense the entire time but alas it doesn't. All it means is the player plays the passing lanes very well.

1. Shumpert can play 1-3 so I could put him anywhere.

2. JR Smith is streaky yes, but we have shooters. What we need Smith/Davis for is to create penetration when Lin is on the bench. His shooting is just a bonus.

3. All of our bench can contribute. And how many teams is Taj Gibson starting for? At least we have bench guys who average 10+ PPG. You don't have anyone besides CJ Watson who's started as many games as he hasn't.

4. Melo and Amare aren't stoppers, true. They'll deff need to improve.

5. Again, I never said he was an elite defender. All I did was contend the notion that Lin was hurting our defense. He's actually helped because our overall team defense improved considerably under his watch.

yall are just a bunch of jelly dickheads

qft

[Cail]

no, not really...at all, actually

[Chun Liroy]

Can't wait for NY Lins to go in on the Heat. I am so excite.

[Deejay]

no, not really...at all, actually

yeah not all. some are blessed to have PG's who shoot 37% from the field

Mario Chalmers is better than Jeremy Lin.

1. Shumpert is 6'4 if hes guarding anyone at the 3 they must be the washington Generals. Nigga would get posted up by every 3 in the game.

2. Smith's game isn't penetration hes a straight up shooter. he isn't creating shit. Baron Davis is a goddamn whooper away from being out of the league gtfo with this shit.

3. anybody bench can contribute. being a Deep Bench means you can spot start someone without skipping a beat. as for Taj? he would start for every team in the east that doesn't have big money invested in a Power forward with the exception of Miami. He would also start for the majority of the teams in the west with the exception of a few teams MIN, HOU and both LA teams.

[Dimmauk]

Pop would start Taj. I'd take him over Blair, who is one whataburger away from being baron davis.

felton no longer the starting PG in portland (for now anyways)

[Cail]

Ugh... Why did I draft a dinosaur?! I've got quite a few of them actually. Garnett, Kidd, Duncan...

[kisada]

lol i'm surprised you didn't anticipate everyone 35+ sitting out multiple games this season

[Cail]

besides nash, i think scola is my oldest player

[Valisk]

lol i'm surprised you didn't anticipate everyone 35+ sitting out multiple games this season

I wasn't expecting people to miss full games. I thought the older players would play scaled minutes in back-to-back-to-back games. Like 35-25-15 minutes. Pop has been sitting people down even if it's not a back to back.

[Cleverness]

Can't wait for NY Lins to go in on the Heat. I am so excite.

If the Knicks actually win that game, I won't be able to enjoy the All Star weekend cause they won't shut up about it. Actually hoping we lose just for that reason alone.

[Heavencloud]

SA should be embarrassed. I know their resting their good players, but the blazers really blow, this is ridiculous.
