YugoRocketsFan Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Skills competition has nothing to do with actual NBA games. And no, when you are a PG who has the ball in his hands nearly all the time, turnovers (and turnover to assist ratio) are extremely important. Paul has a pretty big edge when talking about who the more reliable ballhandler/playmaker is...and that is the case when comparing Paul to almost any other PG in the league, which is one of the reasons he is such a special player. Sounds like you aren't aware brah. The sole reason for his post was to make Shaliq's post look stupid than to say Rose > Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Skills competition has nothing to do with actual NBA games.Neither do all-star games, lol And no, when you are a PG who has the ball in his hands nearly all the time, turnovers (and turnover to assist ratio) are extremely important. Paul has a pretty big edge when talking about who the more reliable ballhandler/playmaker is...and that is the case when comparing Paul to almost any other PG in the league, which is one of the reasons he is such a special player.You are thinking that I'm arguing something that I'm not. The statement was "Paul turns it over less, and his team won the all-star game.. he is better". That is not an argument that holds up. That is like saying that Melo is better than Durant because he averages more rebounds and his summer league team beat Durant's. It's not substantial. It's arguing two factors (one meaningless) out of many. Anything positive you have to say about Paul, I agree with. He's fantastic. That's not what I'm contesting.

Sħãlïq™ Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) This is such a compelling argument.. (..) and a 0.4 per game difference in turnovers.Like Nitro said, that is a compelling argument indeed: Rose averages 3 assists less per game (career-wise) and Rose turns the ball over too much. 0.4 is still 0.4 - nobody said it won't be close.Yes, but it's just as vapid of an argument as merely saying that Rose averages more blocks per game and won a skills competition once.http://i41.tinypic.com/14aenaq.jpg To me this conversation's pretty much over like the ASG right after Blake's FT with 1.1 to go.

But TO's + ASG being your argument for a player being better just doesn't work. There's too much more that goes into it. To me this conversation's pretty much over like the ASG right after Blake's FT with 1.1 to go.LOL so you split some free throws in a pressure free environment? If it's over, don't respond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so.THE QUESTION IS: http://i41.tinypic.com/14aenaq.jpg LOL so you split some free throws in a pressure free environment? If it's over, don't respond I said it was 'pretty much over' (feel free to review my previous post). Aand, Wade misses the three-pointer as time expires.... *buzzer*. It's now all over.

NomarFachix Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 'Majority'?! Don't think so.76 of 107 words in the post I quoted were about the ASG performance for Paul. I'd say that's a large majority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted February 27, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 CP3, only because of his defense. I won't dive into their offensive games, because they are two different players. CP3's passing makes up for what he doesn't match up to in scoring numbers and drawing defensive attention (although he's still a very solid scoring threat on the court), but defensively, CP3 is up there with Rondo and _erek Fisher.

Sħãlïq™ Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 ^ I didn't really bother unignoring that comment to read it. When Kobe hit only one of his last two FTs last night - was that a 'majority'?! CP3 being on the winning side was only one of two arguments. One out of two is NOT a majority. Ain't no 'majority' here... Unless, you don't really know what 'majority' means. So I'll be as educated and as clear as I can: "A majority is a subset of a group consisting of more than half of its members." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majority In other words, majority = more than 50%. I repeat: One out of two is NOT considered 'majority'. I could go on and waste my time have fun with your posts for weeks but this ain't going anywhere.

That is a majority. Spin it however you want. I could go on and waste my time have fun with your posts for weeks but this ain't going anywhere. [insert "Vince Carter's 2000 Slam Dunk Contest: "It's over!"

Sħãlïq™ Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 There's difference of opinion here, man. You think Rose is better than Paul, and I think it's the other way around. Simple as that. To RD and the Staff:Has this guy heard of difference of opinion? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
