    That would actually be very bad. That is 1 point per shot. Even the worst offensive team in the NBA gets more than that.

    How did you prove that? One game was 6 shot attempts, and most of the others were 11 or 12 shots. That's not "riding" a player. 18 is riding a player. 20 is riding a player. The Lakers are riding the fuck out of Kobe right now.

    Statistics show that if the game were 2 quarters longer we would have lost. We haven't won a 6 quarter game this season.

    Or something like that.

    How exactly is debating whether someone should keep shooting on an off night, "having a meltdown?"

    Only one of us was calling the other names.

    Philly had a player like that and he lead them to the finals. I bet he's worth at least 1 second rounder

    I think he should improve his shot selection.

    Shooters are gunna shot. A lot of his shots were within the offense and some were WIDE OPEN. Cut him some slack, he was trying to get out of his funk. I've been there, I guarantee his teammates wanted him to shoot.

    So you throw out some random stats that don't even back up your opinion, I refute them, and now you're going to resort to sarcasm and hyperbole. Nice one mags. Now I remember why I can't have an actual discussion about basketball with you.

    No they didn't. Iverson averaged 31.5 on 25 FGA/g. (1.26pps) 2004 it was 31 on 24 shots. Over his entire career he averaged 26.7 on 21.4 shots.

    You're right... Maybe he's only worth a third rounder

    I think some folks watched the Starters segment with Angry Uncle Bob..or I think it's Bob? Hilarious segment about chronic displeasure from an armchair critic..check it out if you haven't. Some of these posts will make you laugh if you imagine the Angry Uncle Bob voice shouting them

    He said you were whining, not that you're a whine or whiner so he didn't really call you a name.


    Damn, calling someone a whine would be a really weak insult.

    Because I think we have other guys that were in a groove. Kaman was on fire. I would have left him out there. Mags wants to ride guys, so why not ride the guys that got us that lead in the first place?

    Better to buy him out, hire him as a shooting coach and let him interview players after games and take Tone's job with Wheels

    that said, I think I need to re-say it. LMA actually shot fewer jumpers today than he's been averaging. He's only had 4 games with fewer shots than 18. I don't know if some of you realize how much LMA shoots. Today was a once-in-a-career bad shooting night, and he still stayed involved on D and rebounding. While shooting less than he normally does. Oh yeah, and we won. ;)

    I agree mags. You were so right when you said that he's a pretty pretty princess and that he should stop playing basketball and spend more time on his easy bake oven.
