Leap Year - The Kemba Walker Thread III

Post #1701 » by **yosemiteben** » Fri Feb 10, 2017 3:04 am

It has been a long, long time since I saw us trying to claw back in the fourth quarter and Kemba did not even try to create at all.

I think that was worse than the 6 TOs. He was just not there tonight, not willing to fight through it.

Pretty sure you are wrong, but if you are right thats basically calling Kemba a little bitch.

I won't go as far to call him a little bitch because he's prolly the toughest player on the team or at least have the most heart of any player on the team.

However I think he's tired and preserving his body until after ASG. That's my guess towards his struggles. I actually predicted him to slow down a bit after he got the nod.

Tonight was one of the worst games we've seen from Kemba offensively in a long time. I can't question his effort too much because he was still busting his ass defensively, taking charges, getting blocks. I think Beverley is just a really tough matchup for Kemba and after a few bad turnovers he let Beverley get in his head.

Clearly Kemba's hot streak to start the year has ended. We've seen this just about every year from Kemba, where he has about 2 months out of the season where he plays head and shoulders better than the rest of the year. This is just the first time he did it to start the year. In other years he did it in the middle of the season, where it doesn't stick out as much statistically.

I'm happy he made the ASG, but I can't say that he deserves it at this point.

How does Kemba stack up vs the best PGs in the league?

eh, the only stat he didn't compare in was the +- on making their teammates better, yet that stat is pretty skewed towards top teams anyhow. I was actually quite surprised by his defensive rank. Now if only, he could make a few more of his 3s.

Anyone planning on picking up a Kemba AS jersey? Might have to pull the trigger on that one.

Blocks against
1 D. Cousins 88
2 K. Walker 80

I'd start playing like crap if all my shots get blocked too. Could it be that the center is able to cheat over since our post threat, Zeller isn't in?

I hope Kemba makes it again next year.

Kemba has been on a tear lately and a lot of people on this board have taken him for granted

I think literally every person on this board recognizes that he's by far the most important player on this team and the most responsible for our success.

That'd mean something's changed since the "rank our players in terms of importance to the team" thread when most put Batum first (which has since been proven to be demonstrably false).

When you say "literally every person on this board" does that mean about 40%? Lol

No, I mean literally every person. Name me a single person that thinks there is another player that is more valuable than Kemba.

This feels like a completely unreasonable take.

(sarcasm) Clearly Cody is the team's MVP. I mean look what happened when he was hurt! (/sarcasm)
