    I would love to Donkey punch my ex, but her current husband (BeerBoy) might not like that!

    All I'm asking for is just one thread. But hey, if people need to argue about LMA winning an award, so be it. :)

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    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.

    Griffin is nothing like Tim Duncan. At all.

    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. :ghoti:

    This board would have a 10 page thread debating the relative merits of boxers vs. briefs.

    It's like saying Oden is the next Jordan. The playstyle of the name matters when comparing.

    "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.

    If he owns the Celtics on TNT on Thursday, all will be forgiven, I think.

    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.
