Yea, But there is a sort of IT factor, and IMHO i dont think LMA has it. I think Batum has it. I think Batum has a way better chance than LMA to make an all star game (call me crazy)
I thought you would get the joke...apparently I was wrong and again, I point out to you that it doesn't have to be Roy who plays out of position, not if Nate had made the move he should have made FROM THE VERY BEGINNING....Blake to the bench.
How? He certainly hasn't made Aldridge any better, and Oden's improvements have mostly come from within. Blake has also been the one getting the ball to Oden the most, not Miller.
Hahahahah just read it brother and it's sound advice. I did take a break for the entire last season. What set me off was someone calling Roy a bitch. I will blow up today, but normally I'm not this "out of control". Or am I? HAHAHAHHA
I don't think LMA has it either. I think Oden does though. There are times when he is on the floor, that he completely takes over the game and set's an impressive tone.
Are you serious? Because their PER's are not better or why do you feel this way? If you WATCH the games, you can tell that Miller knows how to get everyone involved and CAN ACTUALLY MAKE A FRIKEN ENTRY PASS!!! unlike others on the team. Plus i think its to early to tell how much he can really help, but i guess he might never get the chance... too bad
Actually the guy that gets our bigs involved the most IMO is Rudy. Not any of the PG. Second most is Roy.
No he doesn't. I have been watching the games and it's obvious that Miller doesn't know where to hit players in their sweet spots. I supposed that's partially because Blake has known the team longer, but even still. Miller, never looks for Aldridge on the pick and pop, unlike Blake. His entry passes are pretty overrated. I haven't really seen many bad ones from Blake that would warrant "OMG ONLY MILLER CAN MAEK AN ENTREEE PASSE". Also, if you look on 82games, Oden and Aldridge's best 5 man units all include Blake. In Oden's case, his 4 best units all include Blake and not Miller.
It's actually 10.5, thank you very much, although that has more to do with his own struggling offense. PER measures individual offense btw, not how much better he's making his teammates.
No, I watch plenty of basketball and I have played plenty of basketball. I am not one to spend ANY time looking up stats, not that they aren't useful. Miller, Batum, Rudy, and Greg have the most team oriented playing styles on offense. They know how to pass. Any good coach will tell you that passing is the quickest way up the court as well as the quickest way to an open shot. Moving without the ball is how you get open within this team system. And the team tends to score a lot when this system is run to perfection(lots of assists). Webster, for all his inconsistencies, is as close to fitting into that first group than is Roy because he moves well without the ball and understand when to pass. Blake isn't selfish, he just can't pass to save his life and does nothing but camp at the three point line. Roy doesn't move well without the ball and he doesn't create as much offense for others as he should for how much he actually handles the ball. He does pass very well for the most part. Pryzbilla is a decent outlet man and is decent at finding the cutter, but for obvious reasons does not fit among the first group. Aldridge runs up and down the court very well and sometimes makes the brilliant pass and for all intents and purposes, he should probably be within that first group. Bayless hasn't played enough for me to comment on him. I don't think he's been given enough of a role to provide the doubters any relevant substance. Outlaw is lost on offense. Enough said. He is almost completely one on one. He rarely makes an offensive play that leads to a teammate's score and rarely does he cut towards the basket to receive a pass for an easy score. Howard and Dante don't really matter much right now. I don't feel like posting in this thread anymore. Have a good day.
Right so offensively he is not heloing so that kind of nullifies the "82games.com" thing that some like to reference because Blake averages the THIRD most assist on the team
Offensively means his own bad shooting. And you can take the 5-man unit thing anyway you like, but the facts are all there. Despite averaging the third most assists on the team, he manages to make the bigs play better than they do with Andre. Take it how you will.
