Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[Moheezy]

John Wall should've been a Net

Man...John Wall is not the only one you missed out on...

You traded Dame for Crash and now you will lose out on Fultz to the Celtics...the Nets are the gift that keeps on giving. lol

 

[wavycrocket]

Rudy isn't that much better than DeAndre, if at all. By no metric

For one....Rudys rebounding is actually meaningful and impactful.....

But some of DJ's rebound whoring is docs fault....and the clips (let DJ get it) philosophy.

holds opponents to 5 percent less on fg shooting percentage then Dj yet he isn't better.

Leads the l in shot blocks per game at 2.5.per game.
Dj is at 1.75 per game
Dj averages one more rebound per game.

Pretty sure that's some kind of metric. Gobert is better.stop

DJ overrated

That wasn't the Nets fault though. Wizards got lucky in the draft lottery. Blame Abe Pollins spirit.

Is Rudy hedging PNR like DJ does?

Do you really wanna do this? I'm mobile rn but I can guarantee you I could find some stats or metrics that DJ best Rudy in but that isn't the point. There's no real argument to be made that says Rudy is just significantly better than DeAndre Jordan. That's hairsplitting

Fact of the matter is DeAndre Jordan and Rudy both anchor two of the league's best defenses. DJ has a 21 PER, is averaging 12/14 with almost two blocks for a team that's 30-18. That is all star worthy, easily.

Look I'm not here to bash Rudy, and I think he's all star worthy. Ultimately, the Clips have one of the league's best defenses this year, (until recently) and DJ is a huge reason for that.

The clippers deserved an all star just like the jazz. Just so happened the jazz got one with Gordon, and the clippers needed a rep with bg and cp not going so that was that.

For the amount of games that Blake and CP have both missed, the Clippers still have the 6th best record in the entire league. Off that alone DJ is worthy of an AS nod.

Is Rudy hedging PNR like DJ does?

NOPE

Such an undervalued skill too

 

[lovehateself]

 
Lol my man DJ said he's considering the dunk contest, but that he's also trying to navigate his way into the 3pt shootout or the skills challenge if he does the dunk contest.

dude didnt even think he was gonna be an all-star

already had a vacation with his momma

Bleacher Report is rarely taken seriously by me

Agreed. I only take them seriously when they post an article by a credible media outlet. The B/R created articles carry zero weight so I just skip over them.

Um, DJ has defended the ballhandler on PnR 6 times so far this season.

That hedge means nothing impact wise compared to what Rudy does.

They both hold ballhandlers and post ups to the same %'s.

There's literally nothing he's better at than Rudy and many things that Rudy does better.

Y'all gotta put some respect on him, he's by far the most elite defensive center in the league.

you a very underrated poster. Very knowledgeable head.
Think I agree with your opinions bout 81 percent of the time.


Happy to see Dion doing good. Cavs could use a player like him right now on the bench.
