    Then why is Blake's win percentage better than Roy's?

    Well, that seems like a reasonable position. :sigh:

    Facts be damned, I'm sticking to my over-the-top opinion!

    I hate how you trash certain players because you don't like them. Travis isn't crappy. He is recognized around the league as one of the better sixth men. You may not like his shot selection but his shooting percentage the past couple years has been good and shows he has put a lot of effort into improving his game. And his defense has improved and his length disrupts the opposition. He's a valuable piece of this team.

    Travis is far from the crappiest player on the team.

    Wow, so OT, but was just looking at other team's win%. Gasol is at 100% right now. That's amazing. And last season, Fisher's was slightly higher than Kobe's. Does that make Fisher more valubale, or important? Is he making a huge difference on the team overall?

    Exactly. You're biased against Blake regardless of what he does to help the team.

    That is a fair question. My only implication is that to say that Blake is worthless is silly and goes against pretty substantial evidence.

    I would love to see JB get more burn.

    It means Fisher is another "glue" guy. There was a thread about this a few weeks ago. He doesn't need the ball to be effective, but his contributions don't show up completely in the stats. Incomplete players who know their roles, for some reason, are the object of constant crticism on this board.

    Then why, outside of Scola, does Battier have the lowest win% on his team. 45%! That's terrible.

    I never said I didn't like Outlaw, where did I say that? I actually like him and wish he would do good. He however is one of the most inconsistent players we have besides Martel Webster. IMO, for someone that's been around as long as he has on our team, should be playing better, and I feel that his play last year was "Crappy", and I feel that his play this year was "Crappy" too.

    If he doesn't offer us instant offense, then he does nothing for us.

    Same with Blake. If his shot doesn't fall, he does nothing else for us.

    The two players are bench quality players; and unfortunately our team (and Kingspeed ;)) treats them like they are integral pieces of our club.

    Once Bayless or Miller start above Blake, and once Cunningham gets over the rookie jitters, I totally expect them to take over Blake and Outlaw's spots. And we'll be a better team for it.

    Exactly. The Lakers got much MUCH better when those two joined the team. The season before, the Lakers got bounced in the first round. Who hit the big threes to win Game 4 of the NBA Finals? And who was a leader in the locker room after that game? Fisher is VERY valuable to that team. It doesn't mean that Fisher is a better player than Kobe but that he makes his teammates better.

    That still doesn't account for Blake's higher win% compared to Roy and LMA. Just because the numbers are the same doesn't mean they are measuring the same data.

    Good question. Perhaps the people pining for Battier to come to the Blazers should reconsider their stance.

    Pretty sure if I went to go check overall minutes played, Roy and Aldridge would be higher than Blake...they are forced to play with others on the team as well and don't get the benefit of playing pretty much exclusively with the team's two best players like Blake does...

    I agree with you--this is "so OT". I don't think anyone would argue that Fisher is more valuable or important than Kobe, and I haven't seen anyone in this thread arguing that Blake is better than Roy.
