Official NBA 2012-2013 Season Thread

I've always felt 3 players were overrated to me:

1.) Dwight Howard
2.) Kevin Martin
3.) Steph Curry

but after watching Steph Curry dude is legitimate baller, not sure how this guy wasn't on the all star team. Dwight and KMart on the other hand still are over rated to me.

No one catches fire like Curry. No one.

And yes...Dwight could have been something special. Too late for that now.

 

[big j 33]

Dwight could definitely be a 25 PPG, 14 RPG guy fairly easily. He just to focal point of the offense and get his free throw pct back to up to around 60 pct

You do realize 25 and 14 are insane numbers, right? And that no one has averaged that since Moses Malone 30 years ago?

I'll even lower it... 23 and 12.5. Kevin Love last season, Garnett in 04, then Duncan a few times, Hakeem, and Shaq. Dwight has never and will never be in those guys company.

Dwight did 23 PPG and 14 RPG 2 seasons ago. To average a bucket more a game isn't crazy at all.

I edited because I missed that season at first.

And yes it's crazy... because that was Dwight 2 years ago before he got hurt. It's crazy because no one has done it in 30 years. It's crazy because that was in SVG's system for Dwight. Also that his FT% has nosedived the past 2 seasons. And he's one more injury away from real trouble.

Dwight is who he is at this point. The legitimate post game, change in demeanor and leadership are never coming

Whose got the Lakers TNT gone fishing pic?

He catches fire and has the green light to take 28 foot transition 3s..
And they're all swishes lol.

Also added the Bucks.

 

[Peep Game]

it's hard to grasp just how much of an epic failure the whole experiment was, because we have known they were terrible for months. so this doesn't even resonate

it's historic. best center sucks. Nash can't do anything. 2 terrible coaches. the other coach banging out Mrs. laker., the owner dying, all the terrible player communication on dantoni's part, basketball reasons revenge, kobe twitter and kobe coaching on one leg tonight, the phil pictures, injuries


it's amazing and it's over..... or is it?

^Oh course it's not over, you don't remember the upcoming 2015 roster?

Irving
Love
Kobe
Westbrook
Howard

Plus Rondo, Lebron and KD coming off the bench

 

[mronegative]

No one catches fire like Curry. No one.

Steph tonight:

 

[drewsone]

The way he takes those off the dribble, 29 foot 3s.. :x

 

[Bert.]

should have been working HARD on his offensive game the day he got drafted. dude could have been a BEAST and everyone knows it. dude would have been dominant. Sucks he isnt anything close to that.

what a waste.

Dwight better go to Hakeem's workshop lmao.

Most players best seasons are between the ages 27-31.

So he's not out of his prime yet.

Yeah I have no idea why his free throw pct has nosedived so much as he's gotten older.

But alot of yall have to realize Dwight only attempted 10.7 shots per game this year.

If he could ever shoot around 15 times per game and up his free throw shooting a bit. He'd easily get to 25 PPG

People talk about Brook Lopez being better offensively than Dwight but Lopez shoots way more than Dwight and is less efficient.

Granted Lopez looks more skilled though

What's Plan B?

 

[naija nitemare]

Mark Jackson's motivation skills worked wonders for Reggie Miller, working wonders for Steph Curry.

Jackson knew Curry had the potential to be a BAD MAN, and just gave him full confidence. Curry knows he's dangerous as **** out there, dude's swagger is out of control right now.

Reminds me of AI

I was just about to post about how you, CP, & a few others nailed that one.
