    I didn't get to see that game, but Hickson trying to prove a point and hurting his team is so predictable. It's all about him.

    That whole game was a pile of poo. Damn Arizona racists.

    Hickson is a lesser Faried starting in front of the real Faried. Brian Shaw, you ex-Laker shit, keep doing good work.

    Exactly. I think Brian Shaw did a great job of embarrassing Hickson publicly. He heard Hickson run his mouth, then pledged not to double LMA, then didn't pull him as JJ missed shot after shot, and LMA school JJ over and over again. It was a very Phil jackson maneuver. Hopefully JJ has enough self-awareness to realize he pretty much ruined Denver's game that night.

    What the heck makes you say he doesn't want to be here anymore?

    You'd think Wes wouldn't have a 21.1 PER, too, based on the bashing he's taken here. He'll regress to around 15 as the season progresses, though, which is fine for what's asked of him.

    Agree. If he's his usual, highly-competent 3-and-D guy and a 4th option on offense, he's just fine.

    If he's having to play injured, or if his D or shooting drops off, there are plenty of options to take his minutes.

    7 games in
    Lopez: 13.4
    Batum: 17.2
    Lillard: 21.0
    LMA: 21.1
    Matthews: 19.8
    Wright: 19.9
    Williams: 9.3
    Robinson: 11.4
    Freeland: 12.1

    Since the last update of this (after 4 games), everyone who was above 20 came down, and everyone below 20 came up. I added Freeland in because he's clearly a contributor now.

    I wonder if someone who has the time can calculate our weighted-average PER based on minutes played, and compare it with other teams...

    Our starting 5 average PER is 18.62. To put this into perspective, let's look around the league for other combined PERs

    Miami: 17.86
    Clippers: 19.1
    SAS: 18.6
    Indiana: 18.18
    Houston: 16.58

    Great work; repped. Did you weight the PERs by multiplying them by the player's total minutes played?

    No, but I just used starters, since they play the majority of minutes and averaged them out

    It's Kevin Pelton's statistic and now ESPN uses it because they employed him to replace John Hollinger as one of their advanced stats guys. Check www.basketballprospectus.com if you want to read up on his methods.
