Greg Monroe > all.

Been in beast mode all season. Checked his stats today, averaging 16/10/2.5 a game with 1.5 steals. Has really come on in his second year, another great Georgetown product.

Lin V Rubio tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not Rubio I'm worried about. Its what he'll do to Ridnour that bothers me.

Ball movement will cease and the energy will drop as Anthony does an isolation jumper over-and-over while Amar'e looks on sadly.

imagine if the pistons get the first pick this year davis and monroe would be a hell of a front court

Freaking lolcats

Lin has pretty deceptive quickness, and although his handle is a little loose he is great in P & R situations. Very keen to see if he can develop an understanding with Amare similar to the one he looks to have with Chandler

I'm actually worried about this as well.

Can only hope the positive influence Lin has been rubs off on to them.

Pumped for the game tomorrow against the TWolves.

the chuckbrook accusations seem to have struck a nerve in the way lebrone has with heat fans here.

50%, but only 1-4 from 3s. boxscore looks great.

It's more that Westchuck is 24th in assists per 48 and 68th in assist/TO ratio, and leads the league in TO (total and per game). For a max contract point guard of his talent its simply not good enough. He's down 3 assists per game this season, although interestingly enough his shooting % is up 4%, whilst his 3P% is down 5%. Admittedly he is more of a scoring point than a true point, so the best comparison is DRose. In comparing the two its obvious he needs to he needs to drop his TO's pretty significantly, he had 9 against GSW and up his assists a touch. The dude can ball but man can he have a brain fade

Edit - After readin that Jennings article.... who most call a chucker, comparing him and Westy this season, statwise its pretty similar, albeit 4ppg diff, but the rest of the statline is pretty close

Classic Kobe.

They gave him the jumper all night and he took advantage of it. I think criticism of him is often warranted, but it's gotten to a ridiculous level.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

What are you talking about?

His assists are way down, his turnovers are up and his 3 point percentage has gone from bad to terrible.

He's having a worse year then last year so no idea where the "new level" talk is coming from.

And his squad is 21-6, he's shooting at a better clip overall, his mid-range game has improved and the guy who he supposedly stifles is scoring at a ridiculous efficiency. Harden and Durant also handle the ball a lot more in OKC's offense this season.

No arguments regarding the turnovers (though that has been a whole squad problem), however Deron and LeBron are both over four as well and Rondo is at 3.8.

The guy is a scoring guard and is 7th in the league in scoring at 47%. He's got weaknesses but he is certainly not a cancer, and the stats that people regularly pull out to can him (turnovers, 3 pt %) don't really reflect the type of player he is.

Decision making may be the one thing that doesn't look like he'll ever get good at.

Also turnovers

I don't really get what you mean there.
