I'm pretty sure CyberX works for Relativity Sports on the endorsement side of the house. He knows a lot of about Dwight, Parsons, and Brewer.
half the people on here are calling for Goran Dragic. Including me. Also it wasn't a suggestion. I just wanted to see if a rumor was slightly true or not considering its been on B/R about 4-5 times lately. That being said compare career numbers of Dragic with Jennings: Per 36 Minutes: Jennings is much worse from the field. Shooting around 39% compared to Dragic's 46%. From 3, Dragic shoots 36%, Jennings 35%.From the free throw line, Jennings 80%, Dragic 75% (easily our worst thing offensively). In rebounding, assists, steals, and blocks, they are equal. Jennings has less turnovers than Dragic too. Defensively, Jennings trumps Dragic in win shares (12.4 to Dragic's 7.6). Even though Dragic has more win shares offensively, even though offense isn't a problem really with this team. Dragic has a much higher Basketball IQ than Jennings. it's obvious. But that doesn't mean Jennings couldn't help our team. They seem about equal stats wise. Contract wise, Jennings is more friendly to us considering he probably won't ask for the money Dragic will be, and he's locked in for another year. And he'll probably go for cheaper.
yeah i'm just pessimistic based on worrell's and mchale's hints about his recovery. feigen i take everything with a grain of salt, he's literally the mouthpiece of the rox media office
If you guys want to avoid running off yet another insider, I'd suggest you keep your hypothesis of who cyberx is to yourself.
Stats lie, sorry. Have you seen their games? One usually comes out with a W; t'other fella an L. That is the stat that is the truth here.
Well, that's like saying Bev is better than Rondo because Rondo was losing in Boston. Look at Phoenix's roster. It's much better than having Josh Smith who can't do anything anymore, Greg Monroe, and a bunch of players we'd have stashed at the back of our bench. The only player worthy of being accounted for is Drummond.
Winners win, yes. However, are you comparing raw stats to define Rondo and Bev as you did Jennings and Dragic? We're not playing fantasy hoops we're dealing with actual humans who play well with others, or don't. Detroit is dysfunctional, sure - - and only one part is Jennings. And he sure as shooting (sic) is not part of any solution. So, is it SVG's fault or Dumars'? Shall we return to original sin?
Is Dmo having a bounce back game? How's he looking? I am about to watch the 2nd half and I don't go off just stats.
McHale does this thing where DMo looks great and he decides to go to Dwight in the post instead, that's happening tonight. DMo looked great and then we went to Papa at the 4 and Dwight for the post touches for the remainder of the half.
I don't think it is McHale, I think it is Dwight who demands it. Also why we see DMo on a lot of Harden P&Rs and not Dwight. I hate McHale as a coach more than anyone but this is not his fault. The players just need to sacrifice their own stats and their own desires for the betterment of the team.
Dmo is willing to set a screens for Harden, then p'n'r happens... Dwight just stands and demands the ball in the post
I think he could thrive here if Dwight was willing to play to his strengths. He needs to stop with the constant post-ups, he is too prone to turnovers down low. He needs to understand that he will never be Hakeem. DMo's strengths on offense are his passing ability and his post finesse, when Dwight is in the game he tends to take a lot of threes, which he isn't always on with.
Dwight needs to play like ShAq and stop trying to be pretty. If he doesn't demand the ball as much I think that he will be getting gimmes all day. Just my opinion.
