PG took his game to a new level starting 2nd half of last season. and he performed like a borderline superstar in the playoffs. and he continued to perform well this season, and pacers looked like a team to dethrone Miami.

but then all hell broke loose.


he is still an all star. if he comes through in the playoffs then i'll still consider him a borderline superstar who can be a superstar.

superstars in the nba

bron
durant
(honestly these 2 are only 2 superstars in the league)

huge gap

blake
harden
melo

another gap

cp3
westbrook
curry
brow
dirk
love
noah

did i miss anybody? i could put tony parker, but his stats just don't stack up. duncan too. honestly, i would rather have tony parker over any point guard except cp3.


PG would be in the next tier.

griffin > curry

this year. griffin all season long was top 3-4 player. griffin carried his team without cp3, which was pretty surprising. honestly, i always thought he was nothing without cp3. at one point he was in an mvp discussion - a clear cut #3. i don't even like him, but he really did work on his game. we really take him for granted. yeah, he flops but so does every damn superstars. i guess he is love/hate. i used hate him. never really liked his 'empty stats' never liked his attitude. but now i'm starting to appreciate his game.

and i don't like melo's game either, but he has no help and he puts up stats every night. that team is a mess because they have no defense and they don't have players who compliment melo.

Yeah I've really thought he was overrated for a while, but he's started living up to it.
 
most analyst and fans just thought he was a highlight dunker. a modern day shawn kemp with no defense. but he has improved every year. i mean every damn year. his playmaking ability is so underrated. and he is starting hit those jumpers in a regular basis. he will never be a great shooter, but now he isn't afraid to take that bank shot. that makes defenders freeze because at anytime he can blow past any PF/C who are guarding him. dude also has variety of moves under the basket. and on a fast break, he cannot be stopped.

i think doc did a remarkable job. they won't win anything until they add more defensive pieces and shooters, but they improved drastically as a whole.

and his handle is just sick.

dude is practices with cp3 and crawford. he is turning into one. lol
 
Suns beat OKC tonight.

LOL.

Us missing out on Hornacek will go down like taking Oden or Bowie ahead of KD or MJ.

It's amazing how badly we mismanaged that situation.

Does anybody know the ratio of games that would need to happen for GS to miss the playoffs?

I think dallas and pheonix need to win 2 more games than them from now on, and then phoenix will need to have a better conference record which is even at the moment (edit: oh wait phoenix slightly behind).

Could be wrong.

Wasn't it because Hornacek voiced his displeasure at the Jazz taking Alec Burks over Kawhai Leonard??

Hibbert is a good example of how mobility is just as important as wingspan to be a good rebounder. Dude is 7'2" 290 lbs and averages 6.8 rebounds.

Well to be fair, he's 7'2 and I haven't seen a guy that tall with a good 2nd jump. His job is to jump str8 up around the no charge semi circle and he's the best in the league at altering shots.

His teammates jobs is to sink in on drives and do the boxing out. If you look at the teamstats they have a very good DREB% over the majority of the season.

I suppose that begets the question: Are the Pacers collapsing because of Hibberts play moreso than George's? Or vice-versa?

I heard Lance has problems with multiple guys.

Stats say only that March is his worst month. April has low sample size but looks awesome TS% wise. February was better than January due to 3 point%, low TOs and huge FT%.

Agreed
 
The Lakers game is a 10,000,000,000% lock for us to win, but I will be beyond mad if we win any game besides that.

Just gotta hope for LA to win one more game, and for us to lose every game but the Lakers game.

Celts are a lost cause, we will either have the 5th or 6th most ping pong balls heading into the lottery.

Pray for mystery injuries to Hayward and Favors.
 
Also pray Chris Kaman plays. Dude only gets minutes when everyone else is injured cuz Dantony hates him and he balls out when he plays.
