Few notes from last game

[fishonjazz]

He put up good stats. He's slighly above average if he can hit his shots, imo. He doesn't do much other than score though, ok defender, not a passer, not much of a rebounder. And he made the all star team in the eastern conference, that makes a difference.

23 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists per game is good in any conference imo.
And his team has been in the upper half of the playoff seedings as well iirc. So they are winning too

I agree with what you said about Burks.
Derozan was an all star though. 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists per game is a good player imo.
I think you have to be good to be an all star

And his team loses in the 1st round of the playoffs every year because they can't shoot.

 

[fishonjazz]

So the team cant shoot. Thats cool. Sounds like more than one player would be involved in a team scenario.
This is going to be one of those agree to disagree situations. I think derozan is a good player. So do people who choose the all star team i guess. So does espn according to their nba player rankings. Oh well. like i said. Agree to disagree on this one. Im not going to be convinced that derozan isn't good and im not going to convince certain posters that he is.

Moving along now.

Or is it because they can't defend?

I like the way Burks is playing. He hasn't had a lot of open opportunities from three where I was left yelling "why didn't you just shoot the damn 3".

 

[fishonjazz]

Or is it because they can't defend?

Or even that they simply dont have a talented enough roster to go deep into the playoffs.

He has had a ridiculous amount of opportunities. How about when Steve Novak was guarding him at the ft line while Burks had the ball at the 3pt line?

Fish is just going to stand on his podium and act like 3pt shooting isn't that important. You and Byron Scott can have fun.

 

[fishonjazz]

Fish was not even discussing three point shooting. He was discussing whether demar derozan is good player or not.

Cool, Rajon Rondo is a pretty good player, but I don't want him on my team.

Some player's games are just going out of style. There are still players who are basically relics to past generations (Al Jefferson is example of this) but these players rarely have any meaningful success beyond being good individual players because their styles aren't complimentary to how the game is played now. That is what Derozan is (if he continues to be such a bad 3pt shooter).

Are Jefferson and Derozan good players? Yeah, but no way in hell would I want them on my team, or at least on my starting 5.

So then we agree about derozan being a good player. Cool

I think everyone in the NBA is a good player, I mean they made it to the NBA.

I thought you were smart enough to know that I was saying that derozan is a good player in comparison to other nba players.
I over estimated your intelligence...... Again
