what's Westbrook's upside? That he's a rich man's Bayless? Harden can't get on the court, and when he does he's almost exactly as productive as Rudy. Not a "stud". this is kind of a fun stat about Westbrook vs. Miller head-to-head. Ibaka is much greener and less talented than Oden, much less Camby. I disagree that Roy has peaked. If you bump his usage rate 33% to get it from where it is now to the mid-30's like Durant, Wade, James, Johnson, K*be, etc. you'll see a pretty big bump in the counting stats. If you put people around him that you need to defend, you'll have Roy playing less against double-teams and packed-in lanes. There's plenty of room for him to grow. But if not, back-to-back-2nd-team-All-NBA isn't bad.
All this thread tells me is when Roy struggles for 2-3 games we get to hear "Roy has peaked" and when Roy is on fire for the rest of the month we'll hear something else. Then, when Roy has an off night it's back to "Roy has peaked". And all of this will be done by a poster that won't use any facts or statistics while saying it. Be prepared.
My post was not a personal attack. Mixum said he was going to be Rudy C for Halloween and I was just throwing out an idea.
Wow. That was pathetic. This is kind of like Robocop, and the cops protect the dirty cops and try to kill Alex Murphy. Or whatever his name was.
Wow looked at all the deleted posts in this thread? Maybe there's a trend here moderators? The guy starts shit and gets called out on it. You're going to run the board into the ground if your going to suspend quality posters because they tell this Mixum guy how it is. If having Mixum troll by himself is the goal the board plans on heading, than be ready for a slow, but steady tumble to a garbage board.
I doubt anyone is going to be suspended over what little I said (or sly). Or if it is, that's pretty telling over the boards priorities.
I was threatened with a suspension, because I said the guy brings weak takes and he needs step away from the computer and re-think his material. I never attacked him, I attacked his posts.
There's a moderator thats had a personal agenda against me for over 5 years now. Always an apologist for Mixum. The Mixum dude wants reactions and he gets reactions.
I've got to admit, to anybody that gives a shit. I'm sick and fucking tired of you moderators editing posts by people, yeah...even if they're making personal attacks against a clear and obvious troll...and not editing and or banning the troll himself. It's fucking bullshit and it makes me, every single time, that much more likely that I never post here again. Guaranteed, I'm not the only one who feels this way and guaranteed, everybody attacking this...edited...is a MUCH more valuable member of this community than the ...edited...himself. Seriously...get your...edited...together moderators. You are currently failing at making this a decent place to post about basketball. And it's not because posters are lashing out at the real cause of the problem. It's because you are doing absolutely zero about that problem. I don't know. I've been posting on this and other sites with many of y'all for well over 10 years. I think I'm done for a while. This is absolute bullshit. [pre-edited so you ...edited... don't edit my posts]
I agree as well. It is getting old. No one has a problem with fans complaining about our team, coach, or management. We respect a solid take. What keeps people away from a message board is when "trolls" intentionally try to irritate everyone. Their agenda is obvious.
Management has made it a goal to coddle him. Its whats good for the board. He causes a reaction, people continue to give his garbage posts "hits"...
After further review, I can see why many posters were so upset at a particular poster tonight. Go Blazers!
