Interestingly his numbers have regressed since he put in a very good sophomore season, when he was putting up 16/7 on much better percentages.

"very good" is stretching it, PER of 13.9 which is below league average, on pretty mediocre shooting no's for a 3/4.

That said, I think he'll be handy as a bench player as he's got toughness, he can play a couple positions etc...but if Ainge & co. are expecting him to be part of the future core with Rondo, I reckon the Celts are in for a world of pain.

According to Y-sports, Favours is back playing in Jersey. Someone renig on the trade?

Perk looks to be loving life.

I see that as well, also the Nets have 16 players according to Y-sports.

Interesting.

 

[Dez!]

It's got Favors stats from the Utah game in the Nets box score.



So that's Prokohov's game.

League Pass is being a **** the last month+!

Cancelling tomorrow and telling them to let me know when they get their shit together.

Superb third quarter by the Bulls! I was out at Lunch (waited about an hour for my steak) so missed the game so far.

Noah>>Bogut

Only 21 forwards have bettered that production (16/7/2) in a sophomore season in the 3pt era, and there are some quality names in that list. I'd say very good is a fair assessment.

Otherwise I agree with you, you don't look likely to win a title with Green as your 3rd option.

what is it doing?

Dunno about Forthwrite's, but my "Best Available" stream fluctuates between 400 and 3200 in the same game, snaps out of full screen into some weird 1/3 screen, occasionally goes into Smurf Mode (everything goes blue) and I'm sure there's something I'm missing.

Was brilliant probably up until the middle of Jan, now it's just shitting me. I know others have reported similar problems.

 

[RoosterLad]

I haven't had smurf ball yet but the quality does fluctuate, it's ok for the Bulls game at the moment. Glad I didn't sign up for the Playoffs now as I would hate to pay extra cash if the quality is still going to be average.

Salmons just sunk a three so it is back to a 6 pt game now.

you realize Noah has played half the games Bogut has so it's easier to keep a higher efficiency rate? idiot

 

[RoosterLad]

Another big 3 for Korver. Shit D as Korver was waiting for that 3 the whole time then they left him open.

Korver you gun.

I'm getting 28 (16+/7+/2+), and each of them has a better PER than Green, most significantly so.

If you look at it another way, let's take all Sophomore forwards to play >36mpg in 3pt era. There are 36 of those. Green is 32nd/36 in scoring, 27th/36 in rebounding and 26th/36 in assists and 34th/36 in PER (ahead of only Al Thornton and Sam Mitchell). Point is, if you play a lot, you'll put up some numbers. The numbers Jeffrey put up were pretty mediocre given his playing time.

 

[RoosterLad]

Bogut and Noah are both loving the O boards today, Bogey with 5 but Noah has 9. Love having Noah back. Hopefully him and Booze can both stay fit.

Almost sounds like a Bulls home game with the MVP chants for Rose.

 

[Vegas.]

Nenad is a boss.

 

[Westy Bogan]

Another win for the Bulls - we just keep rolling

 

[Vegas.]

Is there any point continuing with the long list of Griffin superlatives?

 

[silverscope]

Did Kaman have an injury and go on the Lance Whitnall (sp?) diet??

 

[DT_35]

Boston quite obviously taking the piss

According to Y-sports, Favours is back playing in Jersey. Someone renig on the trade?

Favors definitely played for the Jazz against the Pistons today. He's in one of the highlights on NBA.com.

The Pistons score 120 for the first time this season and win without Prince, Wallace, McGrady and Hamilton, yet every highlight on NBA.com is of the losing team

Furthermore...

Career PER

• Nate Robinson - 15.3
• Nenad Krstic - 13.5
• Kendrick Perkins - 12.9
• Jeff Green - 12.8

Seemingly Nate Robinson is the only player involved in that trade who could be deemed "average" in comparison to the rest of the league (a PER of 15 being "average"). The other three are below.

Is there any point continuing with the long list of Griffin superlatives?

"Soft"?

Bogut playing much better post D.

Would hardly call that a push, more a hip n shoulder.
