The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

Sure, and now he's got the big spaceship so he can pew pew second Miltia. But, why? Is he just a dick?

You'll start to get a clearer picture of his motivations as you play through the game. At the point I'd imagine you're at we don't know what's ultimately driving his actions.

Wow, the Spurs are the worst #1 seed I've ever seen. What a joke of a team. I don't get how a team can play so well in the regular season and completely suck against a #8 seed in the playoff.

not getting it done, that's for sure. They have looked bad for a few weeks tho...

by the way, have I mentioned to you that Drose isn't that good? Cause he really isn't. : )

And the Spurs need to cut up their team completely. Everyone thought that retooling the team this year to focus on offense worked well because they got the #1 seed but it's obvious that the idea sucks. The Spurs of old half assed through the regular season and turned it on in the playoffs. They need to get rid of pretty much everyone outside of the big 3.

on the playground we would call Drose a CHUCKER.
and the big 3 of the spurs definitly has to go. they are like 80 years old each.

George Hill is a baller.

no legs.. so many short shots. that's what happens when you get tired.

D-Rose can't be a chucker if he drives most of the time, and is the absolute best at it. There are plenty of chuckers in the NBA..

Hill has shown absolutely nothing this year and when your best shooter is the most unathletic white guy in the league, it's time for a change. The big 3 are the only thing holding the team together.

drose is the best driver in the game? isn't he 10 for his last 40 shots? that is terrible.

spurs are getting ROASTED.

No he's not. I haven't seem someone that fast since Jordan. And yes, the Spurs suck.. This is it for them. Duncan is absolutely useless.

speed isn't the only thing: CP3 is on that level: Likewise Rajon Rondo, Westbrook. Jordan wasn't the fastest player in the league, so it's interesting you hold him up as the example of speed. I'll link you Rose's last few box scores if you want them...

Sure, then link me to his shot selection. Also, Jordan had the greatest first step in NBA history, which made him the fastest driver. The only one that rivals Rose is Westbrook because Paul is never going to be the same again.

That is 10 for his last 40. that's terrible. What does shot selection have to do with shooting 25 percent? If you are shooting 25 percent, you are taking the wrong shots, and you are hurting your team.

This was your statement. You were claiming that his 10-40 shooting means he's not the best driver in the game. Now you're claiming it just makes him a bad shooter or someone with bad shot selection. Which one is it?

have you been watching these playoffs? Paul might be back already.

: )

i can link you shot selection if you want, though it really doesn't make a difference, but i found the website for them.

Makes all the difference in the world when my claim was about his driving abilities and you tried to refute that with irrelevant information.

And Paul is going to finish his career as a top 5 PG of all time.. Well, maybe top 10. He doesn't have his quickness from 3 years ago but he's close. He's just killing Fisher and Kobe. But I think Rose has more weapons.

what point are you trying to make about his driving abilities? I mean, either he can't get to the hoop often enough to shoot a good percentage, so he settles for jumpers, or he gets to the hoop and misses. The shot selection will show one of those two things.

He can get to the hoop better than anybody in the NBA but when he can't, he takes bad shots. He's been shooting poorly in the playoffs thus far but has made up for it in other aspects of his game.

Apparently going to the hoop isn't really his strength either...

according to those, he hit one shot in the lane in each game....
