[Poll] What will be our longest win streak this year?

We get it, dude. You think Green sucks. You don't have to make that the entirety of your persona

 

And for all you know, Green was hindered by playing in the Theis lineup as much as anyone. He came out scorching hot after the lineup change until he got hurt.

 

Really need to fight fire with fire for those who proclaimed him ALREADY a superstar without a single NBA minute played.

 

I mean, no. That's not 'for all I know'.

He was doing his standard 'one good game in X amount of games overall'. Has nothing to do with Theis in the lineup or not.

 

Man I hate when I click on one of these threads and I didn’t vote.

 

He also looked good when Theis was injured earlier in the season. We actually haven't seen Green have a terrible performance with Theis out of the lineup.

He had 24 pts on 9-15 from the field, 5-10 from 3 vs the Lakers when Theis was out.

He didn't play as well vs the Suns the next game, but he put up 16/3/3 on 14 shots, only 2 TO.

With Theis out, he's averaging 17ppg (in only 9 quarters of basketball), nearly 50% FG, 42% on 3s.

So yes, 'for all you know' should bear at least some resemblance to what the data says, but you're too busy trying to 'fight fire with fire' or whatever lame crusade you're on

 

Nobody is laughing now?

 

I wish I could care about the very minimal sample size you're mentioned.

I'll just look at the entire season as a whole as my sample size.

3-0. OUCH.

I'll be all ears to listen if Green comes back and shows in multiple games what you've said.

 

The sample size of Green playing well without Theis is 3.

The sample size of Green playing badly without Theis is zero.

So your theory has an even smaller sample size than mine, do you have any other, more credible objections?

 

Here's my sample size broseph.

1-16

Then 3 wins without Green.

That's a hell of a lot of quarters without Green equating to 75% of the team's wins.

You can harp all you want about it being because of Theis.

I'll harp all I want about it being because we got the worst player on the team, out of the lineup.

How refreshing is it passing the ball to a player open on the perimeter and we see it go in. Instead of seeing the most ugly jump shooting mechanic brick after airball after brick after brick after hitting the rim after hitting the backboard after going in after brick after brick. (hint, that wasn't describing Theis' shots)

What's that Alanis song go like? "isn't it ironic, don't you think?"
Isn't it ironic the most turnover prone team in the league is average fewer turnovers in the past few games. Haha that's right I forgot all those Theis turnovers

 

Hmm ok, is there anything else different about those three games that caused literally everyone else to start playing better?

My point is that Green has also played better without Theis. That makes it pretty hard and damn stupid in my opinion to say the win streak is solely due to Green's injury when he was 4-5 with 11 points in pretty much 1 quarter of basketball.

Your description of what is 'refreshing' is exactly what happens when a team has better spacing. Everyone else on this forum knows that benching Theis and putting Mathews in the lineup instead of House is what has fixed this teams spacing.

Your agenda is transparent and has blinded you to the observable and statistical reality. I have tried to lead you to water but clearly can't make you drink

 

Who ever said the win streak is solely because Green is out?

Your confusion lies with people saying the complete opposite - it has solely to do with Theis being out - and myself correcting them that there's a pretty significant other piece to the puzzle being on the sideline too.

Better spacing. You're right. Because now the defense knows they can't leave a sub 30% 3point shooting SG open on the perimeter. hehehe. Get it?

My agenda is very transparent. Green is a horrendous rookie and is not NBA-ready. You got me.

I'd love to be advised reasons why he is NBA-ready. No, 11 minutes don't count.

 

Plug in the no-Theis Green into the lineup over the last three games and we would have still won all three. Green, too, is better with Theis out. Context.

Now what makes your comment true and mine not?

I tell you something - KPJ looking like an NBA-caliber player these last few games - has nothing to do with Theis' 'spacing'.

 

Uh well do you have any statistical evidence that Theis has played better without Green in the lineup? Or that the other issues Theis caused would somehow be fixed by having Green out? No you don't.

That's what makes our arguments different.

KPJ himself has said he was trying to be a pass first PG, and he says that's not his game. Not Green's fault by the man's own admission. He said he benefited from observing the game while he was injured. Also it is much harder for him to run an offense for an incompatible two-big lineup

 

We have a real chance at 6 here

The next 3 games are Thunder, Magic, Pelicans

 

Really I've had enough W's for now ..... they are screwing up the tank.

Send Garrison Mathews ass back down to RGV before he screws anything else up ....

 

We started off with a tough SOS and are now playing a Charmin soft part of the schedule. Things will even out soon enough and we'll start losing more.

 

It is also much harder for him to run an offense with a SG who cannot shoot.

Don't mind me though. You keep believing what you want to believe.

I can do nothing but chuckle at those who try to emphasize those very few short minutes where Green was on the court without Theis, as the be all and end all.

I myself just use a much bigger sample size.

Green on the court VS Green off the court.

1-16 VS 3-0

My oh my.

 

Funny, but you've got no evidence backing that up.

You know what evidence I have?

Green playing is a 1-16 record.

Green sitting is a 3-0 record.

Sheesh. Sit this one out guy. It's embarrassing on your behalf.
