[dman14]

if the rockets reallywanted to get at mejeri, they would've

bunch of dweebs hanging outside trying to look tough


how you going to wait after the gm if the man disrespekted your family?

just punch him right when he started yapping


adam silver needs to put that hockey rule and allow these guys to go at it. 15-30 seconds and access a tech. will eliminated all the chest pumpin and yapping in the league

So sad that baseball and hockey allow fighting and it's "a part of the game"

When any fight happens in basketball it's "thug this thug that"

Hmm, wonder why

nba got soft. them 80/90s ball was hard to watch at times, but guys were allowed to police themselves
blame ron artest incident for the league trying to eliminate any kind of confrontation

I guess Gordon is NT's new player that gets hyped. PG been doing this for years in meaningful games. Gordon is nice but he ain't Paul George.


And he's a way better defender than him.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It's the perception from society that I'm more so referring to...

 

[youngthundercat]

Then you say this

Paul George is just a better defender. Not by a huge margin either.

And there's the difference

Or....

Is this the new....

Blake Griffin vs Draymond Green thing .........

I was on Blake's side... and then things happened....

HMMMMM

 

[wavycrocket]

Paul George isn't the ball handler/distributor that people THINK he is.

This is why he has a low FT rate.
This is why he averages as many assists as turnovers
This is why he shoots in the low 40%'s from the field
This is why he settles for long twos.

PG is a straight line driver. He's improved his ball handling a ton....but he lacks the instincts to consistently get to the cup in the half court.

Great player. He's been slightly overrated.

What exactly has Paul George being "doing for years"?

that's everything Larry Bird was afraid of and have said publicly
the guy fell in love trying to be like Kobe and taking difficult shot. one thing about kobe was he could take/make them, but for the average earthling, those are bad shots
plays way too much on the perimeter
he really is a young kobe, but he probably going to peak at that where kobe was his first few yrs

look at kawhi and giannis, they eat in the paint

Being better than Gordon Hayward

 

[antidope]

Paul George is NTs golden child. Kawhi Leonard isn't better than Paul George either according to the thread.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Paul George is NTs golden child. Kawhi Leonard isn't better than Paul George either according to the thread.

NT is also obsessed with hairlines

Do the math

 

[wavycrocket]

And there's the difference

So Gordon Hayward is superior offensively to Paul George in almost EVERY category.....and Paul George is a slightly better defender.

I guess Gordon is NT's new player that gets hyped. PG been doing this for years in meaningful games. Gordon is nice but he ain't Paul George.


And he's a way better defender than him.

Im not saying Gordon Hayward is leagues ahead of Paul George. They are at the same level.

But y'all are laughing like it's ridiculous to say Hayward is better. It's not.

Hayward sporting that nice PER of 23
While Paul George outchea with a PER of 17.


You still haven't told me what makes Paul George a better player than Gordon Hayward in 2016-2017 though.

I'm waiting......

 

[datznasty]

Mike Conley is directly thanking everyone who voted for him for the All Star Game on twitter, all 3 people

What exactly has Paul George being "doing for years"?

The reason why I say PG is a bit overrated is because ppl think it's blasphemous that Hayward, who's really good, isn't on Paul George's level

i saw you're a FA in pro am @erupt107th . what those stats looking like b?

 

[kingfoamnyc]

NT told me PG was well on his way to be a 25/7/5 type player with great efficiency. What happened ? "Two way superstar" 2K archetype

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I didn't think I had to. I thought ya'll watched games around here.



Way better defender, more explosive scorer, we've actually seen him play great in the playoffs, better rebounder.



Ya'll stop.



Gordon is good but nah. Nah.

 

[addict4sneakers]

How is he a more explosive scorer? Sounds like something Knicks fans would say about Melo

Back this up with actual facts. You're just "saying" it right now.

And we've seen Dwight Howard lead his team to the damn NBA Finals. Does that mean he's better than Boogie in 2017 because we've seen him play great in the playoffs

 

[ill steelo]

I'm kinda disappointed w/ PGs development. He was amazing against Toronto in round 1, I thought he was gonna level up this season.

He's shown no improvement in his 3 ball, shot selection, or creativity & vision off the bounce

 

[carver]

Explosive scorer

 

[antidope]

Paul George is a victim of his own success. He was underrated for too long. Now it's gotten to where he's overrated.

 

[P C H]

Paul George still has problems beating his man off the bounce

It's the biggest hole in his game to me

It's why he settles for bad shots and doesn't get to the line enough. He also isn't that good of a ball handler either which only exacerbates this.

I actually think Gordon may be an even better athlete than PG. At least from what I've seen this season.
