If Bobcats make the playoffs does LB coy?

[SteveMorrison15]

How about a Franchise player?

An All Star player

A go-to-guy

A closer.

I see what Dex means. We are like the Jazz where we make plays to win. We don't rely on one guy to take us to the promise land.

If MIAMI of CLE get the COY is bullsh**T. LeBron and Wade should get the award before the coaches do. They have to pull T-Mac games where only they score and rebound.

Congrats Mike Brown/Eric Spoelstra, you really know how to say "Pass the ball to LeBron/Wade"

[thruthefire]

LMAO!!!!

Al Harrington is a star.....wow!

Get's more ridiculous day by day!

I know you like messing with me but your not that bright. I clearly said a star OR A 20 POINT A GAME SCORER.

21.5 points a game. So go ahead a prove me wrong. What team doesn't have a star or a 20 point a game scorer? You can't do it. You get worse and worse because even when I am right you like to make comments. Grow up and stop trying to be an internet tough guy.

"The Knicks are the only one closest to us but they have a 21 point a game guy which is a star."

Hang your head in shame because you CLEARLY said it right there.

And when you learn to spell words like "especially" and "untouchable" then you can call someone else "not that bright".

espially and untouable....wow!

And for the last **** time, there is a thing called PACE! The Bobcats play at one of the slowest in the league and the Knicks play at one of the fastest.

And Richardson averaged 21.8 ppg last season and Wallace averaged 19.4 and yet we only won 32 games.

I said 2x a star or a 20 point a game scorer after that. Your picked that one out to try and make me look bad. Look I get into to many fights at work and in marriage so I don't want to fight here. Either were friends or were nothing so stop with the jabs.

[Dexmor]

SteveMorrison your right we dont have a closer and do run plays like the Jazz but the Jazz have 2 allstars and 1 who takes over games and averages 26 in the playoffs in Deron. He is a top 2 pg in the league and arguably a superstar.

I would say were are like the Pistons minus Iveson and if there plan to sign a FA doesn't work.
If we started out this year with this team we would probably have a similar record then them.
So if you pretend AI is not a Piston

Stuckey VS Felton- Tie. Stuckey is better but then new Ray is tied and add DJ and its tied.
Raja vs Rip-Advantage Rip.
Prince vs Wallace-Tie
Diaw vs McDyess-Advantage Diaw
Wallace vs Mek-Advantage Mek, this one is very close because Wallace spreads the floor and can score on anybody and get people into foul trouble. He is also a better 4th quarter player but Mek overall gets the nod here.

Bench-Advantage Cats
Coach-Advantage Cats

If you do count Iverson or the Pistons plan for a FA works then forget this post.

Alright Dex, i'm not trying to pick a fight with you, but yes, some of the stuff you write does irk me. I'll stop taking jabs at you, but if you write something, don't tell me I picked that one out to try to make you look bad. If you write it, it's fair game.

[Dexmor]

Current day Pistons don't have a 20 ppg scorer.

Also, Philly.

And the Rockets.

And Jazz.

Those are the playoff caliber teams. This doesn't include teams like Phoenix (Amar'e) and Milwaukee (Redd) who's 20+ ppg scorers are done for the season.

I SAID STAR OR 20 POINT A GAME SCORER
I got to type less because people keep skimming my posts. I said star OR 20 point a game scorer.
And you have to be nitpicking because even if I did say everyteam has a 20 point a game scorer to use Rockets as an example is terrible because Ming averages 19.8.
I would say if you include Tmac the Rockets have 3 stars. Artest is a star-Tmac-Ming and they even have Scola and Battier as the 4th and 5th guys which is awesome.

Philly-Iggy is a star. He is a 2/3 and averages more rebounds and assists and points then Diaw. That's impressive. To get 18 plus 6 dimes and your one of the best defensive players your a star. Plus you have to consider Elton Brand a star. He is not washed up or to old he just needed time to adjust to the new system and got hurt before he could.

Jazz-Deron Williams is not only a star he is or is close to a superstar. The only pg who is better is Paul and it's arguable (i take Paul). Williams is averaging 19 points and 10.6 assists which is just insane. He also raises his average in the playoffs and he was playing hurt this year. On top of that they have Boozer who is a star and he has averaged over 20 2x in his career.

As for the Bucks they have a bonified star in Redd even though he is hurt he is a Buck and I include RJ as a star. He did average 24 last year.

[thruthefire]

So by your logic, Richardson is a star and Gerald is a star because he averaged 19.4 ppg. He was over 20 ppg before his concussion also.

If Iggy's a star then Diaw has to be a star also. Diaw's numbers as a Bobcat are nearly identical to Iggy's.

[Dexmor]

There stats aren't nearly identical. Iggy has more points rebounds and assists. He can play 3 positions fulltime and is one of the best defensive players in the game.

I didn't say if you average 20 your a star I said each team has a star or a guy who averages 20. Plus we don't even have Richardson anymore. You guys know or should know who is a star and who isn't. The only thing holding Gerald back from being a star is he can't create. If he could create and hit the jumper better he would defenately be a allstar yearly.

[Dexmor]

Some teams are lucky and have 4-5 stars. Alot of teams have 2 allstar-superstar and then 2 guys close to star talent so basically 4 stars. Obviously this would be the best to have like the Lakers and Celtics.

Now we have 5 semistars and no allstars. So riddle me this would you h or have 5 semistars (Bell might not be considered a semistar is some eyes but to me with his d he is) or have 3 stars but have to start 2 guys who kind of suck or are obvious positions that could use an upgrade. So would you rather have like an Amare and a good 2nd option star but have to start a guy like Diop and Walton
If it wasn't for the fact that stars bring in fans and money I would totally say 5 semistars for our team is the better choice because our guys can develop that way and I believe Felton and Mek will break out to be stars imo. At least Felton will be for sure.

[Liver_Pooty]

Im lost.

[SlicedBread]

It'd be nice if he were considered, but I don't see him winning it. By glancing at the teams in our own backyard we have; Miami, who won 15 games last year and Atlanta, who finished 8 games below .500, and are currently fighting for home court in the first round.

[Dexmor]

And for the record Every team has a star OR a 20 point a game scorer, a guy who can get 30 any game and is a go to guy.
Every team but us has a 20 point game scorer or a star. They all have a 1st go to guy or a guy who would be a 2nd go to guy. We have 4 3rd go to guys although Felts is moving up the charts imo.
