Goran Dragic's numbers as a starter (potential stud?)

Which part?

The part where you said Brooks' spot was taken by "a mediocre player"?

The part where you said Brooks will "blow up in Phoenix"?

The part where you said Dragic is a downgrade from Brooks "in every possible way" ?

The part where you said we are "stuck with two career backups"?

The part where you said we "made that move to save $$$$$$........nothing more"?

 

When we are arguing about opinion, what does it matter which ones I think are right?

You won't agree, and there is no proving it one way or the other.

It is why this place sucks sometimes, people just want to argue about whose opinion is right, when they are just opinions anyway.

I really don't care enough to discuss it with you Flaming - so if you feel you won something...good....enjoy the internet victory.

Good on ya !

Or because some people aren't willing to give up their pride for the sake of the BBS.
Also just because you have an opinion doesn't mean we have to respect it.

 

flamingdts is right.

 

so u want to bench a guy who is averaging 13.6 points since the allstar break and is assigned to guard the best perimeter player for a guy who hasnt proven anything? why would you not suggest just simply playing morris vs starting him .. also trade buddinger and lee for who and if you did that who is going to be backing martin?

 

Here comes the opinion excuse, and the hypocrisy is scary.

What part of Lowry "is a mediocre player" is an opinion and not a false fact?

What part of "Brooks will blow up in Phoenix" is an opinion and not (so far) a false fact?

What part of "Brooks is better than Dragic in every way possible" is an opinion and not a horribly false fact?

Stop saying people want to argue that their opinion is right, people want to argue their opinion with facts supporting it.

Are you saying that you never want to argue that your opinion is right? Are you saying that "people don't know the truth that I know" is just an opinion and not a blatant punch in the face to anyone who has facts?

DD, its not the community sometimes, it's you. You have a strong opinion, that's absolutely fine. The problem is you have a strong opinion even when facts are against you, and you try to argue that the facts are wrong and that you could see what others can't. That, DD, is arrogance beyond measure.

You aren't above others, stop acting like you are and people will start giving you less crap.

 

so ur opinion is the truth? funny you just posted earlier about some crap about how these are all opinions and nothing can be proven to be right or wrong .. oh i guess unless you come up with it .. even if you cant statistically back up that point of view . nicee

 

Truth: the correspondence of an idea with reality.

 

DD is sounding a lot like a T-Will...

 

Typo.

There really aren't many opinions when it comes to sports.

Aaron Brooks did not blow up in Phoenix. That is fact at this point.

 

Aaron brooks is hot garbage, dare I say garbage water. Dragic played amazing today and I want Lowry traded now so he can get MOAR minutes and win MOAR games.

 

Brooks was never the same after the ankle injury.

 

Lol someone get this guy a pink dora the explorer backback. Pay your dues first Rook.

 

Aaron Brooks blew up in Guangzhou. So he got the city wrong. Small detail.

 

few reasons why Dragic is better the lowry in my opinion... better shooter..taller..played behind Steve Nash (top 5 point gaurd in the league)... and he can atleast take in the ball every time and also dunk the ball ... the guy can pass and make the right decision ...all around better player and stats don't count because he is a back up for Lowry he got his chance at starting and look at him play that simply shows me Houston have not been giving chances to our players ...and that is disappointing and im not hating

 

Here we are back to the brooks vs lowry thing but now its lowry vs dragic. The main things i see are players with flaws. Brooks was good till he got hurt, lowry is good, but now we see he cant get by people, and now dragic is good because lowry is injured and he plays well. The fact of the matter is if they trade lowry, people wil look at dragics backup and want him. Why? Probably because of the hole thats in his game. Dragic looks good mainly because of what lowry cant do and thats get by people off the dribble. Also in his bench role, dragic looks to be the better defender. He looks like the defender lowry used to be. Can he be that full time? People thought lowry could and draw fts, but time has proven he cant and wont. I like both guys and if one is traded, the team wont miss much because the next guy will provide what or another spec the last guy didn't.

 

Last 2 Years per 36

Dragic_____Lowry

14.7 PPG 14.9
6.0 APG 7.1
3.0 RPG 4.7
3.3 TO 2.6
44% FG% 43%
34% 3P% 38%
52% TS% 55%
- 4.1 Ad+/- + 6.8

That last number is the most important one, he is not as good as Lowry

Having said that he is a capable starting PG, and better defensively than people think, but not lowry good defensively. It's hard to really get a grasp on his +/- numbers because he's backed up 2 great PG's in his career.

If a blockbuster presents itself that allows us to get much better, his presence make Lowry tradeable, but only for a spectacular package. That means much more than Pau Gasol.

But Lowry is better make no mistake
