Lamar Odom this season.

15.6 ppg, 9.6 rpg, 2.9 apg, 1.9 TO, 57.1 FG%, 61.9 TS%, 33.8 mpg

As a starter- 15.6 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 3.2 apg, 2.2 TO, 57.4 FG%, 35.8 mpg
Off the bench- 15.6 ppg, 9.1 rpg, 2.4 apg, 1.2 TO, 56.3 FG%, 29.5 mpg

Pretty amazing that he goes to the bench, and his production has remained the same despite playing 6.3 fewer mpg. He's played much better off the bench than he has the last 2 seasons.

2009
Starter- 14 ppg, 11.2 rpg, 2.8 apg, 2 TO, 49.7 FG%, 34.3 mpg
Reserve- 9.5 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 2.5 apg, 1.6 TO, 48.7 FG%, 26.5 mpg

2010
Starter- 12.2 ppg, 11.6 rpg, 4.1 apg, 2.1 TO, 45.6 FG%, 36.8 mpg
Bench- 9.5 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 2.5 apg, 1.6 TO, 47.1 FG%, 27.1 mpg

What I especially love about that is much like Rose's recent alley-oop (that NBA.com lists as the 8th best dunk of the year so far) he just calmly strolls away as if he didn't just make 19,000 people in that building shit their pants.
 
When marquee free agents like Carlos Boozer and Amar'e Stoudemire went from the Western Conference to the East last summer, we thought it might bring more balance to the NBA landscape.

So far, the East looks to be just as shallow as ever, with fewer teams above .500 (six) than it had last season (seven). The Philadelphia 76ers, for example, are on pace to earn the No. 7 seed with a 34-48 record.

Further, the West is currently 148-107 in games against the East, which is the most lopsided it's been since the 2003-04 season. Eight West teams are above .500 overall, but 11 of them have winning records against the East.

interesting
 
^that's assuming that the 'exclusive rights' clause of the CBA remains in effect after this one expires.

While you don't often see people not yet in the NBA so openly expressing a desire to play in specific locations, its fucking EXPECTED in stars and he's not just some 19 year old kid who played a year in college. He's played in the Olympics, he's played in the world championships, been a professional on some level for over 6 years and he's not even 21 yet!

To be clear, I'm not condoning his attitude but just saying that given the context, it shouldn't be unexpected.

Personally, I don't give a fuck about any of these athletes' attitudes, I just want to see them play the sport and I want the best athletes to be in the NBA so we can view the best competition.
 
About damn time.

MIAMI -- Third-year guard Mario Chalmers has officially replaced veteran Carlos Arroyo as the Miami Heat's starting point guard, coach Erik Spoelstra said on Monday.

"It was a tough decision," Spoelstra said. "It wasn't anything that Carlos was doing wrong. He was doing everything that I asked him to do. I think this is what's best for the team right now."

Chalmers earned his second start of the season in the Heat's 120-103 win over Toronto. He had previously started in Arroyo's place on Dec. 15, when Arroyo was in Puerto Rico due to the death of his grandfather.

As a rookie, Chalmers started all 82 games at point guard for the Heat during the 2008-09 season, and 23 games during his sophomore season. He played sparingly at the start of this season, after suffering a high left ankle sprain during summer workouts. He entered the rotation as the team's regular backup point guard just after Thanksgiving. In 38 games, Chalmers is averaging 6.3 points, 2.2 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game with a Player Efficiency Rating of 10.94.

During his tenure with the Heat, the mercurial point guard has shown a flair for the dramatic, sometimes at the expense of more fundamental play. Spoelstra spoke about the challenges of utilizing Chalmers as the team's primary point guard.

"It's been a steady battle and process with [Chalmers]," Spoelstra said. "He has great instincts to make plays defensively. I don't want to completely handcuff him, but he has to do it with an IQ and a discipline to our system. That has to come first."

The Heat play next on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks.

dayumn im good
 
Roddy Buckets played like a STUD last year when he got minutes. I am really looking forward to his return.
 
two games in and the lakers are looking focused. my one complaint in the Denver game was why it took so long to start blowing them out. imo denver took way too many poor shots and should have been down 10+ in the first half.

this time out the lakers didn't eff around and blew out the jazz from the get-go. truly inspired play and i'm happy to see it!

never been a fan of jefferson and i am puzzled as to why people thought he'd be the piece for the jazz. he doesn't have enough length to defend and plays too soft for his size. he gets to the line 3.6 times a game! are you kidding me?!

my mid-season power rankings:

1. spurs (im biased as fuck)
2. magic (if i wasnt biased they'd be first)
3. lakers (keep the D up and you'll be first)
4. celtics (get healthy)
5. heat (maybe next year)
6. bulls (top 3 potential if they get a real 2-guard. otherwise wait til next year)
 
Damn. Just when the Clips were starting to click.

http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2011/01/25/gordon-likely-out-until-break/

DALLAS – Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Gordon may have a torn ligament in his right wrist and could be out until after the All-Star break, a league source close to the situation told NBA.com today. The best case, according to the course, is Gordon missing 2-3 weeks.

Can you quote the article? I don't have insider.
 
quoting the whole thing would be immoral, me thinks, if not illegal, so i'll quote my fave section:

f first-year Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau isn't atop the Coach of the Year heap right now, he's certainly on the short list of candidates. He was the top assistant in Boston during a three-year period in which the Celtics finished first, second and fifth in defensive efficiency and rode their defense to two Finals appearances.

Before that he was the top assistant in Houston when the Rockets finished fifth, fourth, sixth and third in defensive efficiency despite appearing to lack great defensive talent, and got similar results prior to that as an assistant in New York. You get the picture. It doesn't matter if his starting center is Yao Ming, Kurt Thomas or Henry Abbott. He gets stops.

This season, he's getting more stops than ever before. The Bulls lead the league in defensive efficiency by nearly two full points over his former charges in Boston, and while that advantage may shrink in the coming weeks when a soft schedule turns more challenging, it's still a mind-blowing performance by a first-year coach whose best defensive player, Noah, has played only 24 games.

...

But that's for down the road. In the short-term, a greater enemy faces the Bulls, and it's named Regression to the Mean. The Bulls are first in 2-point field-goal defense, overall field-goal defense and opponent true shooting percentage, and are fourth in 3-point defense. In three of those categories, they're more than two standard deviations better than the league average, which theory says will only happen for about one team in 50.

Additionally, two of the flukiest opponent stats are 3-point shooting and free throw shooting; as this study notes, only about one-sixth of performance in this category reliably carries over from year to year. The Bulls are fourth in 3-point defense and slightly above the league average in "free throw defense", so they can expect to lose a bit of ground here too. (I should point out, however, that they're not the only ones -- Miami, which is second in opponent 3-point percentage and first in opponent free throw percentage, owns the league's flukiest defensive stats.)

I could be wrong (and probably wasn't using the most efficient means of searching) but the last player I could find to average at least 21ppg and 15rpg was Moses Malone in '82-'83 with 24.5ppg, 15.3rpb to go alone with 2bpg and 1.1spg.

Love looked solid the last two years but 21ppg, 15.6rpb to go along with almost 44% from down town and 88% from FT is just ABSURD.
 
1. priy sure his rebound rate was nearly the same last year (was when i last checked)

2. u gotta adjust those numbers for pace

fwiw if this post annoyed u cane then i have successfully given u a taste of ur own medicine =P

(forgot to add the all-important =P, cuz it's all peace and love)

^I have no idea why your post would annoy me (nor do I know why my posts would annoy you).

Why do I have to adjust those numbers for pace? I'm far more concerned with actual statistical performance than theoretical performance if he played more minutes.

Last year he was averaging 14 points and 11 rebounds per game.
