All I'm asking for is just one thread. But hey, if people need to argue about LMA winning an award, so be it.
It can be both. People can celebrate that Aldridge won it and also analyze whether he deserved to win it. I'm glad Aldridge won it, but I think Griffin had as good a case. Griffin was more productive for the week, but Aldridge plays significantly better defense.
You're comparing apples and oranges, yet the winner is picked from which one maed the best pie. I'll have to divided apples/oranges, and find some sort of crust derivative to try and equal out the correlations and variations.
I was bored, and created a 12-tab spreadsheet multiplying apple cores by orange rinds to get a "Bitterness Impact" quotient.
johnhollinger "LA to El Cabo" doesn't have quite the same ring to it. this game tonight fucked his chances imo.
I watched the game, too, and I saw Griffin get 10 more rebounds than Aldridge. You can't "destroy" a guy who outrebounds you by 10.
Yet Griffin got those 18 rebounds while being covered by Aldridge . . . Griffin also had more assists and steals, so this whole "better numbers" story is a bit suspect.
