You should set a reminder in Google Calendar to bump this thread every year. Every season begins as a flowering virgin, ripe with possibility....
Interesting comparison. Had to look it up--7 of 8 guys met my magical mark of a PER over 14 on that team. The only one who didn't was Greg Anthony...
I gotta say I had a lot of fun watching Okur trying to guard Gerald Wallace last night. The pieces kind of fit for a lot of small ball this year:...
Yeah, if you were to try to give our team a cumulative PER (is that ever even done? If so it seems like it'd be pretty interesting to see), I'd...
PER's of our 8 top players last year: Batum: 14.8 Matthews: 15.5 Aldridge: 21.5 Wallace: 18.9 Felton: 16.6 Crawford: 14.2 Camby: 14.8 Last year 6...
There are "haves" and "haves-a-shit-ton-more." The haves-a-shit-ton-more club is getting smaller and more elite at a faster and faster pace, mostly...
If Nate had a more adaptive coaching style, I think there'd be a much better argument for keeping him on long-term. But Nate-ball is one kind of...
I lol'ed. repped.
Anyway, considering we went from three franchise-level players down to one in two years, I wouldn't say the future is bright. That's like looking at...
I still think there's a lot of promise in Aldridge, Batum, Williams and even Matthews. Aldridge is really the only one of those four to be in his...
I haven't had a chance to see Smith play, so I could be wrong there. Smith could be something special for all I know. But if he's not and he's just...
Nice pickup. We were a Felton injury away from starting Armon Johnson at PG. Not just playing Armon, but actually STARTING him. Yeeesh. Those who...
It hurts to see Crash go, but the truth is he's another Josh Howard waiting to happen. With his style of play and his age, it's just a matter of time...
I'll be voting for Ron Paul in the Idaho Republican primaries. No point voting Democrat in an Idaho primary. I don't see him beating Obama, but...
Thanks for contributing that very insightful post. Next time just say, "You are stoopid." It'd be just as productive to the conversation, while...
Anybody else get a sudden "Qyntel Woods at PG" flashback? *shiver* Seriously, though, I think it's something you try out there in one of the...
Anyway, here's a more complete list of EdO's pace rankings factoring in PER and age: Season / Team Pace / Felton's PER / Age / Minutes played...
That's a really good point. I do wonder, though, how much of the pace on those Charlotte teams was dictated less by coach than it was personnel. You...
I don't really get why we'd go after Howard. His career is in the tailspin I'm expecting (but hoping against) Gerald Wallace will be in at any time:...
Masbee--kind of funny to me to think Gerald Wallace is in All Star contention talks, but he was one in 2010 the last time he played with Felton. As...
