    Not to mention the whole shouting match with Shooter.

    I really don't see what the big deal is. One guy from ESPN currently has Davis above Lillard, big whoop. Last time I checked, David Thorpe doesn't decide who the ROY is, nor does he represent the entirety of the national media. So why not just relax and enjoy the ride?

    Also, I'm not sure why you keep saying "they". This is Thorpe's opinion, as it's his own personal list. I'm sure the majority of ESPN's analysts have Lillard as ROY.

    It's his 6th fucking season in the league and he's never averaged more than 17min a game

    Yeah, Wright's nothing special, Davis is already better and will continue to improve. Is it only okay to compare two players who have exactly the same skill level?

    Can you REALLY not see that those numbers are extremely close?

    Half of those are me being sarcastic, so I'm not exactly sure how that's getting worked up. And one of those posts was from the Shooter thing, which was a carry over from another thread.

    But again, why do you give a shit?

    Putting the two in the same sentence is laughable and dumb.

    I can make scrubs look good with per36 too. It doesn't make them any less of a scrub.

    Show me your scrub with a 21 PER. I'll wait.

    Oh and their other advanced statistics need to be around the same as well.

    Why bother? If he was nearly as good as his "advanced statistics" suggests, he should be averaging much more than 14.5 minutes per game.

    Okay, this is going nowhere, you can't seem to get rid of this notion that I think Wright is as good as Davis. Even if you did realize my point, you're definitely too stubborn to admit it.

    Enjoy the game tonight!

    I agree with you, in that Brandan Wright deserves more minutes. Carlisle seems to be stuck in some mode where he gives lesser players minutes. Wright is one of the rare players with a PER over 20, yet USG under 20.

    I get what you were trying to say, by the way.

    No, I understand your point just fine. I just disagree with the entire notion.
