This lone alpha thing dey sweet LeBron

Zaza shouldn't even be defended here, this isn't the first and the last time he will be doing tricks like this. Everytime it is a mistake. I am a dallas fan, he played for us, he pulled the same antics.

His antics against leonard is keeping him away from playing the game he loves. What is wrong should be condemned, and zaza should be condemned on all fronts.

Here is actually a short video of him pulling dirty tricks.

How clumsy can you get?

Dirk Nowitzki is the clumsiest player in the league, you don't see him landing on people like that.
Firstly, his antics aren't what's keeping Kawhi out. That's an ankle injury in the playoffs I think. Kawhi developed a tendinopathy in his quads after that recovery.


That being said, Zaza's fall was extra. Yes, he got hooked but he knew where he's falling and went all through. This as well as most of his dirty plays seem inadvertent but NBA needs to come down on him. A warning or fine should stifle that guy.


And you won't win an argument about a Warriors player even if Zaza slapped WB. The fans will tell you he had Chorea. So, don't bother

LeBron will surely be back in it. After all, he got what he wanted as the only alpha on the team. These players now, have submissive talents to give him the stats he needs.

SportsRe: The NBA Begins by Decale:
NBA told coaches to select reserves from the list that had Manu Ginobili and Lonzo Ball grin

NBA shoulda selected Ben Simmons above Dragic and Kemba since he's on the list and they weren't. Things I hear grin




Eruditor:
They called you and told you how Pop (leader of the coaches I presume) gave them instructions to vote Klay because of his team's record yet CP3 did not make it for his own team's record. Clap for yaself.
You came up with October to December stats, its been trounced

You came up with a Jan 4th list that coaches used to select reserves, it's been trounced. Sorry, sorry, this still sounds funny in my head anytime I read it grin grin Coaches list vs FIFA's list. Oh my days grin grin

Now you've come up with the bolded. Not using CP3's injury as a factor to back up Klay Thompson amazing "October to December" 3rd scoring option performances grin grin. I have a headache grin grin

You see why arguing with you is fun? Anybody reading that bolded would curse...cheesy

SportsRe: The NBA Begins by Decale: 8:44pm On Feb 10, 2018
Eruditor:
Oga, no time for wild goose chase. The logic is simple. After player ranks, media ranks and fans rank a list comprising those who will make the list of starters and possible reserves were released.

Starters were asterixed and the rest (reserves or out) to be decided by the coaches and assistants. After that, NBA steps in incase of injuries.
This is where you erred and now I'm happy to school you and then drop the Mic.


There has never been a time coaches used a list to select reserves

All Star selections start off with the fan vote, that select Starters. Media and Players rank the top vote getters (starters) and NBA gets the weighted average. That's just for starters

Coaches choose the reserves from their conferences, never using the rest of the players on the list. If there's an injury, Adam Silver replaces.

Every player in the NBA that was voted by fans were on that list down to Shabazz Muhammad, who was ranked 52 by the player and media. The NBA from your link just gave the cropped version (Top 10)...

Look at these links for yourself for some education:

https://www.basketball-reference.com/allstar/NBA_2018_voting.html

http://pr.nba.com/2018-nba-all-star-game-starters-voting-results/


Goran Dragic and Kemba Walker were not in the cropped version same as Lou Williams but were used as replacements.


The coaches voted a day before 23rd, one of the earliest reserves announcements ever. Therefore, games played in January (>10 games) were used. Klay was picked by the coaches not for his October - December performances but for his team record prior to January 23rd.

Coaches could not select a name that was not on that list so even if anyone was playing out of their minds from Jan 1-23 it did not matter. Lou Will step aside.
Hin say list before January 1st grin grin


Now run off and play somewhere to free your mind from the orgasms you thought you had defending Klay Thompson.


Peace...

Eruditor:
Again I repeat: The period of consideration for the NBA All-stars is everything that has occurred between Oct to Dec ending. Anything happening after is inconsequential. Every player that made it into the original team (before injuries) were announced Jan 4 on the list. Keep playing first to call post nuisance and then hit submit to post your own. grin
Let's see the list the coaches compiled on January 3rd.

Waiting for the list



Let me also add that in the period in consideration PGs numbers in Points were record low (since his 3rd season),
Higher than Klay Thompson's

assists (low since his second season) and
Still higher than Klay Thompson's

rebounds (since his rookie season). grin grin grin grin ;
And higher than Klay Thompson's grin



[s]Sure. The coaches are wrong. They selected Iggy in 2012. Klay should outblock KD or Dray, out assist Dray or Curry, outscore Curry or KD, outrebound KD or Dray or outsteal Curry or Dray to be an allstar. So which one is PG doing better than Westbrook? Don't tell me steals because I can use Klay's 3pt shooting as his excuse.
grin grin grin grin ^^^ what you have been trying so hard to argue about even when no one has contended that with you. PG is having a better season. If I have said otherwise show me. But in the OCT-DEC period which was used primarily for the decisions, Klay deserved the all-star spot all things being equal.
Even for you, this is inane. You supported the media when it suited your argument and turned around to rubbish coaches when it does not suit it. I am showing you the illogic. It is going to be off-topic because it is off the tangent you are working with.
HAHAHAHAHA.
Last season how many Ls did he drop? Was I not "obsessed" then. You can pay for school but you cannot buy sense class.
[s]OKAY.
Why would I need game winners when I am blowing teams out? Future GM thinks there is only way to think. grin

The joke is on you.
Logic session ended.[/s]
October to February: PG13 is better in a winning team
I came down to "October to December" and PG13 is still better in a winning team.

Lemme help you out once more and this discussion is over. Don't have time for your futile posts...

Produce the list or link of the list where the coaches compiled the reserves that were going to be selected on January 4.

Do that and I'm done. Thanks

Eruditor:
Every player available for selection were already there long before Jan 23. In fact that was January 4th (it is online). So how many games were played by Jan 4? LOL.
Oga, just shut up already with this nuisance.

The very first voting results were released January 4th. The starters haven't been decided, so how would the coaches start picking reserves before the starters have been selected?


Is it not after the voting is concluded, reserves get picked based on their form before the January 23rd date?

Your argument is really kindergarten, pshhhhh




Even then, I told you that statistically those players were on par with PG shading it but he lost that margin by being number 2 on a team with a worse record than Klay who was number 3.
For goodness sake, this is the last I'll repeat this.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE 3RD SCORING OPTION

Draymond isn't the 3rd scoring option, is playing better than Klay and people aren't making noise about him. If Klay were in Blazers, putting up 20ppg as third option, nobody would give a fvck. NOT ONE!!!!

He's in the All Star for one reason: His team record.


D.umb. Bring these stats during the period of consideration and leave with egg on your face. The margins were a lot smaller between the months that factored into the decision-making of the coaches.
And as usual, you typed trash grin

Paul George was in contention for DPOY as early as November. OKC were the 2nd best defensive team up till January.

And here, you're saying his defensive numbers would reduce during that period a lot cos of who? Klay Thompson? grin grin

Jesuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu grin





Between the 3rd scorer on a team of a catch and shoot player and a ball dominant small forward who is the 2nd scorer on his team?
You know you have no defense when all you say is 3rd scoring wink

I did and no 3rd scoring option is doing better than Klay (inconsistent as he has been). Klay whose career stats are better than PGs who was the score first option for most of his life.
grin grin grin


The question is WHO WAS MORE DESERVING OF THE ALL-STAR SPOT? That is all I am discussing even when you have tried ever so hard to change it into who is having a better season. grin
The person having the better season, more still in a winning team. Paul George checked both boxes. Klay Thompson just one sad


Same person who defended the media's decision(not coaches o) to give triple double machine MVP even when someone with a marginally similar record had the 3rd best winning record in the NBA.

So what is your next argument? That Curry did not deserve MVP in 2016 because Kyrie outplayed him in the NBA final? I can't put it past you. You just tried to use Jan and Feb to justify a decision that was made in December. School me? LMAOOOOOOO
Ladies and Gentlemen, he's veered off to another Westbrook topic grin

Your MCM uses a year old argument that's done to cover up for his weak debates.
Your MCM is obsessed with Westbrook even after he dropped 2Ls on him this season.
Your MCM is 85 smiley


Westbrook averaged a triple double, had over >10 game winners including the one that took his team to the playoffs and then won the MVP. Kill yourself...
SportsRe: The NBA Begins by Decale: 12:21pm On Feb 10, 2018
Eruditor:
Coaches factored: 1. Winning record 2. Individual Contributions within the considered period (Oct-Dec)

Klay wins hands down in point number one so let us examine point number 2.

Klay played (8 ) games in October and averaged 21ppg. (14) games in November averaged 19.79ppg. (15) games in December and averaged 21.4ppg. AS THE THIRD SCORER in the team with the winningest record. In that same period Paul George: (7) in October and averaged 19.57ppg (13) in November and averaged 21ppg and (14) games in December and averaged 20.7ppg. AS THE SECOND SCORER in a sub600 team.

Fvck are you talking about? Klay's record is marginally better which can be expanded when we consider his team won many games that made his coach rest him (a 3rd freaking scoring option) as against some people who played most of the 4th quarter in a game they led by 20. Miss me again with coaches selected bla bla.

grin grin
Pure rubbish, unadulterated rubbish...

NBA Coaches selected the reserves on the 23rd of January. There were at least 8 games played in January before then? What October to December period are you talking about? You just did this ppg thing to make a role player seem good, didn't you? grin

Coaches select reserves 80% of the time using team record. Korver, Iguodala and million others say hi. All these your talk na rubbish. If they valued individuality more fairly, players like Lou Williams and Mccollum have better chances than Klay Thompson.

Now, listen señor: Prior to the selection of reserves by the coaches, PG13 had a 20.5ppg or so to Thompson's 20.1ppg. This seems to be the only form of stat you're holding on to as "individual contributions" and of course, you failed terribly grin

Let's expand and school you mate:

The defense first:
Defensive rebounds: 4.6>3.6 PG13
Steals: 2.2>0.7 PG13
Defensive Win shares: 2.9>1.3 PG13
Defensive box +/-: 0.8>-0.2 PG13

Offense:
Assists: 3.0>2.6 PG13
Offensive boards: 0.9>0.4 PG13
Offensive win shares: 3.6>2.9 PG13
Offensive box +/-: 2.5>2.1 PG13

We can still check the impact on team, right?

PER: PG13
PIE: PG13
VORP: Still PG13
Box +/- : PG13

You can do your "October to December" calculation and see what your Klay Thompson still had grin


The only thing Klay is apparently better is his team's offensive and defensive rating that Jordan Bell is toying the League with..

The guy say na ppg grin That's what coaches told you? Even if it were ppg solely and team record considered fairly, Dragic and Drummond wouldn't be scrubs to Lowry and Horford...

Next time, you bring up a stat to support Warriors' Kris Middleton, ensure he's better there. Miss me with the 3rd scoring efficient option that plays for the best thing in the League, mate wink

You are a better person than I am.
In this context, he is...

If only 1 all star was needed this season James Harden will most likely be that guy (considering he is on course to winning the MVP). Therefore every other player (Curry included) is "not on his level".
Precisely.




If it were the fans who got him there, that would have been the talk. That the fans don't know basketball. Oya argue with the NBA coaches who voted Klay over PG.
Argue with coaches?


No be coaches select Sczerbiak

No be coaches select Korver, Jeff Teague,

Iguodala in 2012, Jameer Nelson and plenty others all cos of team record ooo.

Hin say argue with coaches grin


The fact is every member of GSW dropped drastically KD included (bone his scoring numbers). He was turning the ball over more than Curry. Shaun L and Iggy feel like we were scammed post season of last year with the contracts they got. Zaza has been as unathletic and clumsy. McCaw regressed badly and Klay was part of the whole fiasco. Only D West has justified his place on the team in the stretch of games in January leading into this month. So if all GSW players don't deserve to be on the All Star team because of January let the people campaigning continue.
What's all this gibberish?

How's that awa business on who's better between PG13 and Klay? sad


Who makes stupid arguments like that? Or because Harden has made more 3s than Curry this season therefore Curry is not on his level in shooting 3points this season.
How's this one too awa business?

Please, sort the 3 point issue with Harden and Curry

Russell has used triple double to win MVP. Now him and James are basically still doing the same things they did last season but all of a sudden, James with arguably the better roster now deserves it. Even when "better" roster was part of what disqualified him last season. We dey here na. Superfragelisticespialidocious PG abi. Ok.
Na wa oooo

We're arguing who's better this season. PG13 or Thompson ooooo

Warriors is still the team to beat...

However, their threats still remain a healthy OKC and Rockets. Lakers trashing Thunder has no bearing in the playoffs. Lakers bested Rockets on the road, they've blown out your Warriors in previous seasons and still didn't make playoffs. Jazz that won't make playoffs trashed Warriors; Nuggets are 2-1 against Warriors this season, will you also say they're going to get the championship?

The fact remains the teams likely to make it to the NBA Finals are Warriors, Rockets and Thunder in that order if healthy

I feel sad for Jae and IT, they were caught up in the business of the NBA. Jae has to re-establish his defensive intensity first, before the focus on his offense. While at Boston, his improved offense particularly the 3 point shooting was predicated on his defense.
IT needs to overcome this. From a Celtics hero to being traded after 15 games with Cavs, worse still to another bum coach. There's how low you can go and this was it. He gets his own team now and a chance to save himself come free agency...

My only joy for the Lakers is Kuzma gets to not share bench glory again. Hopefully...


Jazz on the other hand are letting Derrick Rose go. So, just Jae they get for Joe Johnson. Not sure what they're thinking


Reports say Wade requested to be traded. Even Gabrielle Union's quick subtweet suggests that. I guess not all is rosy down at LeBron's WhatsApp group.
