    Whatever intangible something he brings to the court, it doesn't net us points. ET costs us 3-4 wins per season vs an average player.
    Code:
    Season     Team       RPM    Wins*
    2018-2019  POR       -3.68   -3.6
    2017-2018  POR       -3.15   -4.4
    2016-2017  POR       -2.89   -3.3
    2015-2016  BOS       -1.61   -2.5
    2014-2015  BOS       -1.37   -2.1
    2013-2014  IND/PHI   -2.79   -1.1
    
    *Based on minutes played & RPM. Historically each +1 point differential results in about 2.7 wins over the course of 82 games.

    No argument from me on that. Was just stating what I watched last night.

    Damn. You have a ton of pent up angst towards me. I just mentioned that I could post what you needed, but have me on IGNORE and then, all this? Wow. What did the mods dm me for? I don’t remember that. Oh and go figure the posters you named have drama with me? Who DON’T they have drama with?

    I know what you mean, I see it too. His passing can ignite the team. Sometimes he posts up and scores with ease. It just apparently doesn't offset the rest of it.

    Pretty much this.
    Then continually quotes posters who have him on ignore crying.
    Guy needs to check himself.
    Even his latest reply comes across as playing the victim.

    I don't have time for it.

    My only problem with him now is he ruined this song for me. I see his grin every time I hear it.

    I think this is a reference to the songs played at the end of the 3rd quarter/start of 4th?

    I actually think he's been super on point with his end of 3rd quarter/start of 4th quarter songs.
    Shits been amazing.
    As well as the camera work.
    Compared to last year the truck has been fantastic.

    No. I don't get to watch the games. I'm sure he's good at his job. The 400 times I've heard about the emmy awards must mean something.

    The lyrics of that song remind me of him..........



    Stop waitin' on your fifteen minutes of fame
    'Cause you're not special
    I'm not tryin' to rain on your parade
    But you're not special
    I'm not tryin' to bring to you down
    I'm not tryin' to sound so inaffectual
    But you're not special

    HCP is the victim. I use his "shtick" against him. Look:

    Ive overtaken him in likes, power, and controversy. All without utilizing jokes about his wife to do so.

    Why do you think he's so salty towards me? "FAMS" is jealous.

    Now cue the salty rant that I so love to hear. Cant wait for TPFKAHCPs rebuttal. I have popcorn in the microwave right now!

    Funny, but even in a zone you have to be ready to rotate and recognize who is moving in and out of your area. He failed at a zone too, lol.

    Thats what a cool, nice guy would do anyhow. I keep hearing how nice this guy is.

    Rumors are worthless.

    First person interaction is priceless.

    And so far also worthless....

    Not enough, in my opinion.

    For the record, Rajon Rondo called them out during the playoffs last year for their lack of film study too. I didn't think there was any way he was correct but then that article came out about how Stotts made them watch 45 minutes of film after a bad game and the fact that it was said they usually only watch about 10 minutes if any is quite troubling.

    Not sure about all players but i read that most learn the most abOut opponent tendencies through film, which would help the defense the most.

    This is concerning. Is there corrolation between this and our defencive inefficiencies?
