The Official Dwayne Wade <<<<<< you thread

Dwight haters clutching at straws.

35/19/5/3 Drummond 5 fouls

Sit your arse down rook. By far the best center in the League.


Dwight's numbers this December are insane. Healthy Dwight is finally back.

Even his post moves are far better lately. The work with McHale and Dream have clearly been paying dividends. Looks alot smoother on the block and he's making quicker decisions.

dmize wrote:Yeah. Dre has played 19 min lol, still blocked Howard like 3x and a couple of the fouls he had were bull.

Sad state of affairs for Dwight if this is the highlight of his season

Dwight has only been blocked once lol.

He has 5 fouls because he can't guard Howard lmao. Dwight has drawn every single one of those fouls.

The Franchise wrote:LOL Destroying Hibbert while getting blown out. Superb.

Anyways, Reggie Jackson is much improved since last season. Playing with a ton of confidence.

He was working Hibbert all night before Harden's selfish ass inexplicably went away from him simply because he was getting exposed and outclassed by George.

Hang your hat on one game of the underwhelming, career loser Dwight Howard cause having to watch the Knicks is even worse, brehs


at Fright Coward turning the ball over on more than 25% of his post touches with a progressively lower FG% every year but his post moves have "looked far better"

HAhaha Gilusional at it again

"Career loser". LOL

Dwight: 35-19-5 on 72% with 3 blocks and 1 steal
Dre: 9-6-1 with 4 blocks and 2 steals

all i read

A typical Gil Bayless special, pop up only after a good game, but completely MIA after no-shows

And do so while posting stats with no context whatsoever.

Go wank over Howard's robotic post moves while he turns it over every 2nd trip.

Dominant. Dem post moves. Jump hooks, face ups, drop steps, jumpers, quick spins even a little bit of a dream shake.

Averaging 21/15 on 62% this entire December despite being the second option on the team.

Only GL would be annoyed I praise the best SF and C in the League, especially Dwight who's been getting abuse from all ends for over 2 years now despite never being healthy. Hipsterlegacy rampant yet again.

When Howard sucks, he will be back to "injured" I suppose.

Avergaing 21 and 15? Kevin Love does that in his sleep while also not turning it over twice as much as making assists.

"Hipster legacy" just finds it funny how you bum-lick guys on a 24/7 basis and have nothing to say about guys doing bigger and better things.

And that highlight reel was utterly underwhelming in comparison to your hype. A couple of decent moves, he did a nice drop step fake...but everything else was his usual hook or offensive rebound stuff. I guess compared to his usual garbage its a good night though.

Preach tha truth Dani

• A jaw-dropping stat courtesy of Chris Herring of the Wall Street Journal: Over 60 percent of Andrea Bargnani’s missed jumpers result in a made basket for the Knicks’ opponent. The league average allowance, by comparison, is just a shade under 46 percent.






The first thing you notice scanning through Lamb's numbers is how efficient he is. His 48.7/41.1/"zero missed free-throws" shooting split is a good start, but the deeper you go, the more supportive the evidence becomes.

Shooting off the dribble is more difficult than catching a pass and letting it fly. Most players, including Lamb, tend to veer off balance, leaning to the side or too far forward. Their shoulders aren't perfectly aligned with the basket, and their feet land in a different spot than where they leapt from (note from Dani, this is bs, even on normal jumpers shoulders arent aligned and most players land in a different spot, usually forward, to where they jumped. These are both good things).

According to SportVU, Lamb is knocking down an obscene 48.4% of his pull-up field goal attempts. Out of every player in the league who averages at least 2.0 attempts per game, only Boston Celtics guard Courtney Lee is more accurate.

Lamb is also averaging 0.39 points per touch, which is 11th best in the league out of all players who've appeared in at least 15 games, slightly better than high usage stars like James Harden, Carmelo Anthony, and LeBron James, and some of the league's better offensive role players, like Wesley Matthews and Jamal Crawford).

According to mySynergySports, Lamb is the 2nd most efficient pick-and-roll ball-handler in the entire league, averaging 1.1 points per possession in just over 30 opportunities.

With a sample size that small, Lamb's success here is more encouraging than concrete. He rarely attacks the basket, instead either shooting a jumper behind the three-point line -- if his man goes below the screen -- or a few dribbles inside it in the face of a sagging big. He isn't very strong, and on forays into the paint -- especially from the baseline -- he can look like a baby calf trying to run across a sheet of ice. (The team's official website lists Lamb at 185 pounds, which is 25 less than Derek Fisher and 55 less than Kevin Durant.)


21 year old Lamb vs 21 year old Harden per 36

16.4 ppg on 43.6% on 11.2 shots. 34.9% from 3 on 5.3 attempts. 84.3% from the FT line in 5.6 attempts. 4.2 rebounds a game, 2.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.7 turnovers

16.6 ppg on 46.5% on 14.4 shots. 40.0% from 3 on 5.7 attempts. 100% from the FT line on 0.9 attempts.  4. 2 rebounds a game, 2.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 turnovers.

Harden is the first player, Lamb the second.







Steve Clifford of the Bobcats is the surprise coach of the year, though perhaps Charlotte’s defensive rebirth isn’t a total shock to those closest to the coach. Charlotte had the league’s worst defense in the NBA last season under rookie head coach Mike Dunlap. Clifford has the Bobcats at No. 4 in the NBA. The team’s major additions were Al Jefferson (known as a walking minus sign on defense) and Cody Zeller (a rookie coming off of the bench). Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been battling injuries. Josh McRoberts is Big Al’s running mate up front! Nothing makes sense. So we credit Clifford, because we’re out of plausible answers.

^ That's a really good read, Lambs numbers have gone down a bit since but still very efficient.

Idk if it's OKC's most talented team yet but this is definitely their deepest...

edit: even on an off night by Jackson and Lamb they still have 26 bench points, Perry Jones has got some minutes and done well. Brooks needs to find more minutes for him.

Kevin Love is insane. Can't believe the Wolves front office are surrounding yet another HOF PF with scrubs.

Hope Love moves to Houston.

Bit harsh, TWolves have some good players, a ton better than KG had most of his time.

They just cant defend. Could do with 2 guys on the wing who can play D and a back up big.

Love and Pekovic combined for 79 points and 33 boards   

Skates

Dat celebration!!!

Some NBA officials want to be done with the current draft system, they are drafting a proposal that might be presented to the owners next year

Crazy game going on between Miami and Atlanta..

LeBron hits two back to back 3's then dunks on Millsap Macklemore style lol.. Hear down by 1 with 14 sec left tho

Teague hits both free throws after being fouled and then Allen gets fouled on the 3!!

Makes all 3

Jesus

Was Ray even fouled on the 3pt attempt? Didn't look it.

Anyway, Rio with some bonehead plays down the stretch, he keeps that up and Cole will swoop in.

Paul Millsap is 7/8 from downtown.. Millsap!!

One of the craziest games I have ever seen, pretty much no defense.. Atlanta bombing away on like 5 possessions in a row at a time lol
