****The Official 2013-14 NBA Thread****

well, we cant all play the likes of atlanta in the first round. we actually play teams with a winning record.

 

Nah...Melo likes money and New York. I wouldn't be worried.

 

that sucks...i was going for a 13 yr old girl. i must do better.

 

I was trying to be kind

 

I am pretty sure Dwyane Wade setting the mark for the most efficient season for a SG in 30 Years...is "enough help".

You are going for some type of message board strike out record. GO for it dude.

 

lol

 

i dont know, bro. lebron seems pretty pissed lately. since you like stats, please tell me wade's stat averages in the last 11 games (per, pts, rebs, assists). maybe that's why lebron seems so angry.

 

Heat is 19-8 vs. the West for a .704 win pct.

Rockets are 28-17 vs. the West for a .604 win pct.

 

now, lets do the east.

 

Last 13 Games:

20.7 PPG 53% FG 80% FT 3.7 REB 5.1 APG #1 in Def. Rating among SG. #2 in Off. Rating among SG.

Yeah..that's pretty good.

 

Nobody cares about the East. I thought we only cared about "real teams" out west.

 

so, we dont want to do the east because it's pretty much the flip flop of the records vs the west and it wont make the heat look better than the rockets? agenda.....mmmmkay. we have a bigger sample size vs the better conference, therefore .604 is pretty good in the west. one would have to wonder if that .704 would hold true if you had to play an extra 25 games vs the west.

 

dont forget the +/- of -5 for the last 11 games. ouch. that kind of hurts more than helps.

 

Are people really arguing regular season basketball?

 

well, to be fair.....it is the regular season.

 

+/- is 100% absolutely worthless.

I know you are a stat neophyte, but you gotta apply yourself. Do better.

Lineup metrics is what matters. Wade's lineup metrics over the last 13 games have been better than Lebron's.

The Heat don;t use the metric and most NBA teams don't either. They use lineup +/- per 100 Poss.

 

If you think the Rockets are a better team than the Heat, then your crack went bad in your baggie.

 

oh..I screwed up and included two DNP's.

His numbers in the last 13 are:

22.4 PPG 57% FG 81% FT 4.4 REB 5.3 APG #1 in Def. Rating, #1 in Off. Rating, #1 in PER among SG's. #4 in PER in the NBA.

 

Here is the +/- that matters:

Efficiency Differential vs. Opp.

Dwyane Wade has had a Positive Eff. Diff. 12 times in the last 15 games. That is why +/- is worthless.

it is why Shane Battier once had a +32 for the Heat when he shot 0-4.

 

Right. Lets wait until May-June to see who is putting up better numbers.

 

You know I thought you were going to be a good, reasonable minded poster from your initial appearance in the thread. I was horribly mistaken.

 

Oden starting against the blazers tonight *deep sigh*

 

Did you guys see the Lavish Chris Bosh Birthday Party from last night? Apparently..Coach Spo allowed himself to get in a Dunk Tank..and get dropped in the water by Dwyane Wade. Lebron went 0-3 with his three tosses..Bosh also went 0-3...Wade missed his first 2 and then hit his third.

Now...people heard this and thought that was rather remarkable that the HC would allow himself to be used like that..but that is not what I was thinking......

I was thinking....The BIG THREE went 1-9 in the dunk tank? No wonder we suck lately.

 

Well...for 12 to 15 minutes anyway....

He has looked good...but Spo is allergic to playing him past 12 minutes or so....

 

Well Greg Oden was protecting the target from dunks

 

Oh..did you guys see the story of Micky Arison making an offer to buy the Marlins?


WRONG TEAM Micky...WRONG TEAM.

 

Oh God Mickey please buy the Fins.

That would be Christmas in July for me...and I'm Jewish

 

Champagne does that to you.

 

Well...that was fun.

First..it was Big Shot Bosh.

Now...it's Big Block Bosh.

Bosh hates Portland.

 

well, the namecalling by your buddy brought out my inner a-hole. you're right, before the namecalling i was cool, even had a few nice conversations with heat fans including you. now, i'm going to just keep throwing a few jabs until i get the a-holeness out of my system. keep the other guy on a leash and i'll give it a rest.

 

Just to be clear here, by the "other guy" you mean the guy who proved you wrong in every aspect of the discussed matter, and backed it up with facts, numbers and even videos which effectively squashed any information you chose to present, in return to which you reserved to low level trolling, and blaming Sect for name calling, even though that didn't bother you at first, until he brought out the numbers, and only then you decided to conveniently turtle up and play the good ol pre school "he started it" card.
Good riddance sir.

 

prove me wrong with numbers? per was his end-all stat and harden is tops in that. efficiency, right? i didnt even want to keep mentioning that stat because it means little to me. talk to me when the best sg in the game this year can play back to back games. i know the truth hurts, so i forgive you. good riddance? are you leaving?

 

Not only PER...

WP, Synergy, Sportvu also agree that you have no clue as to what you are watching.

and of course...VIDEO of Harden scoring zero points vs. Wade while Wade outscores him 18-0. So there is that.

Wade is not playing B2B's because the Heat can afford to "maintain" him like that. Afterall..the guy is having the most efficient season for a SG in 30 years.

 

He is, but everyone played in them. No excuses.

 

This,

The thread has become the equivalent of my dad could beat up your dad.

Hey Boik, Norris Cole >>>> Pablo Prigioni, how you like them apples!!!

 

JR Smith >>>>>>> Norris Cole
Tyson Chandler >>>>>>> Whole Roster

Amare vs Oden would be intriguing, who would tear a ligament throwing the first punch.

 

Ahhhh the classic argument about the resistable object vs the movable force
