Although I like RA's hustle and effort he is not in anyway better than Yi at this stage in his career. Yi is a better shooter, passer, rebounder and has more basketball experience having already played a season in the nba plus olympics and world championships against the elite basketball players of the world. RA is just a fill-in and is no way a threat to Yi's job there's a reason he was a late second rounder, he's all heart but just not enough talent.
I'm not commenting on Anderson's performance. I would like to focus on Yi's last 3 games, he was counted on to step up with Harris injured and he did. He was playing at Milwaukee getting boo'd every time he touched the ball and he still out played RJ. My point is if you're looking for something bad, I'm sure you'll find it. You can discredit every good thing any player ever did. Where will that get us? Try to be objective. People starting an Anderson/Yi war to satisfy their ego is juvenile. Bucks fans did this with CV/Yi last year, CV is still the 6th man for the Bucks. IDK, I guess the less intelligent fans are still comparing Bargnani and J. O'neal too. Why put down players on your own team? They didn't choose to be in this situation.
Does Yi average 16/8?? no, like your stats say he had 6 good games out of 35. Now if you want to compare apples to apples does RA get to only have 6 good games out of 35 starting?? Also RA has already had a few good games as a role player off the bench. Yi does have 6 good games against weak opponents. Yet his overall average is like 10/5. Now you suggest for yi to lose his starting position he must average 16/8 against a very tough schedule. Sounds fair from a yi fan... boston twice, portland, spurs, cleveland, new orleans, is the upcomming schedule. Yet to yi fans thats not a valid excuse. Its fair cause yi' last 3 games were the kings, grizzlies, and bucks... you people are amazing.. oh and to the punk that said i'm a girl friend of RA, no im not you little child, i just notice to obivious talent which you obivoulsy can't.... hence the term retard like you....
So, Yi stepped up his game w/o Harris, that's just Yi playing weak opponents. You're giving Anderson free pass for the Next 5 games because the other team has better records. Got it. Actually, the Yi fans has been supportive of Anderson. I don't really understand what you're trying to accomplish.
give anderson the same patience you gave to Yi and you just might be surprised at what this kid can do...,
Ryan Anderson's line : 13pts, 4 boards, 1 assist, 2 steals in 26 minutes. Not a bad bounce back game for the rookie. He also shot 6 for 8.
Wow. Am I am supposed to be impressed??????????????? The Nets got spanked by a team that was 4-6 in it's last 10 including a loss to those powerhouses, the Bobcats. You know those NBA championship contending Bobcats. 16/8 or bust bro.
Yep get in your EXCUSES early. KG was plus 4 on his scoring average last night. I still remember fans here ripping Yi for allowing Amare to DOMINATE while scoring 15 points, which was about 8 points below his scoring average at the time. Actually I am impressed by Anderson. I really believe he is going to be the greatest power forward we'll ever see since you love him so much.
