I'm all for Raptors fans arguing for Lou's case because he had a great year, but how is this one of their main arguments? It's like he was doing nothing for the other 4 months.

Suns with IT = 27-19
Suns without IT = 12-24

Celtics with IT = 20-10
Celtics without IT = 20-32

His record on the year is 47-29 which is a .617% or equal to a 50 win team. And people in here are saying that Lou has a bigger impact? Are you kidding me? IT even has better stats. I'm sorry but this one seems simple to me in every facet, IT got ROBBED.

It seems as though Drake has more pull than it seems. A simple song about him and it skyrockets Lou's perceived value.

Thanks for your intellectual contribution to this thread. I'm happy to debate about this with Raptors fans and I think Lou has a strong case, but I think when you break it down the only real answer is IT

Oh, so the Suns losing their starting PG Dragic had nothing to do with the record right?...lol

BS, Thomas only played 67 games yet you give him credit for 76 games? What was he doing, coaching the rest ? FOH...lol

Please, two teams and Thomas missed multiple games, low williams played 80 games strong to Isiahs 67.

You're right. I counted games that he was injured in which his teams went 4-5. His teams still did much worse without him.

Obviously it contributes. Regardless of that, when IT has played his teams have been better than the Raptors so you're argument that Lou played on a better team is somewhat false.

OK.

Stats - roughly equal.
Team record - roughly equal.
Games played - not roughly equal.

Advantage Lou Will.

To say that IT maybe has an argument over Lou? Sure, that's fine.
To say that IT was robbed, that it wasn't even close, or any other hyperbole like that? No, that's ridiculous. It's not even close to being not even close, if that makes sense.

Lou did it all year for the raps. IT can have his go next year for a full season.

I can only imagine if it were the only way around. There would be at least 2-3 threads on the main board crying about it. Whatever though, hope it motivates IT and if it does it will be all worth it. Regular seasons awards are whatever.

I disagree.

Christ Lou has it all. I'd be content with just one of those chicks let alone both AND in the NBA. Seriously **** this guy if the Raps somehow win the title :lol:

Hey there we go :P . Someone should do the odds on those. Finding two women okay with a 3-way relationship is probably more unlikely than making it to the NBA.
