    Nah, I think I’d be in the minority on Nurk vs Valenciunas. Adams was dumb. It’s not close

    Saying Dame can’t shoot 3’s any more is dumb.
    - If he’s on a cold streak it’s dumb because it’s temporary.
    - If he’s injured and it’s temporary it’s dumb because it’s temporary.
    - If he’s injured and it’s permanent it’s dumb because you don’t even know that he’s injured or that it’s permanent.

    All you know is he’s shooting bad for 3 or 4 games. Drawing a sweeping conclusion from such a small sample is dumb.

    Yeah. A chart should be intuitive and this one not.

    Best would be top left corner - many points added in few minutes.

    Average would be on the diagonal line from bottom left to top right since the more minutes you get the more points you are expected to add.

    So anything up and to the left of that diagonal line is good and below and to the right is bad.

    I'd primarily just focus on being above the horizontal line. Down low is bad. Up high is good.

    Left to right is more of an FYI how many minutes the player is playing. You'd hope guys way to the right are at least around the horizontal line, or preferably above it.

    Right now we are 4 games in so there is likely a ton of noise. But after 20+ games if someone is way to the bottom it might be time to change their role, reduce their minutes, or explore a trade. If someone is up high but to the left maybe they should play more.

    Ah, that makes sense. I didn’t realize that TPA was a net number a could be negative.

    He knows I’m giving him a hard time.
    A while back I watched their video they posted and didn’t have their names on my comment but I said the guy with the bad beard @BonesJones as compared to the guy with the full beard @hoopsjock . Now I just am messing with him.

    Yenno it’s okay to take off your rose-coloured glasses every once in a while! We’ll see what kind of offer he gets from other teams besides the Blazers this off-season won’t we.

    Oh and remind me, what was his line against LAC? Oh that’s right 2-6, 4 pts, 10 rebounds, 6 turnovers, and a dashing -21. I’d say games like that are more symbolic of his true value.

    Did you even watch the game last night? How many times was he caught flat footed with Adams or another big snatching the ball literally right out of his hands or shooting over him with zero resistance.

    Dude has nothing between the ears and he’s Charmin -soft. I stand by my position. Get him the fuck outta here for a more mobile big.

    He may be, but he sure loves himself some Nurk-meat.

    Not so much recently. If you are talking 6 months ago yes. But in the last 2-3 months he's pretty full spectrum rose colored glasses. If i remember he didn't like Stotts much?

    You've commented on my beard multiple times recently which is a little obsessive and extremely weird.

    Honestly, and i don't know Bones that well, but from the interactions we've had on here and the little bit I've heard on the podcast... is that if he has an opinion either way he's gonna let it be known. He's just honest.

    lol. I have to bite.
    This is true because many people here claim their opinions as facts so most people dont really have an opinion. ;)
