Salim 4 JJ Redick?

[Rip2137]

No, I'm saying that Eddie House is producing on the big stage when given a chance. Yet Salim did not. That speaks volumes about not just who is a better player, but also a better professional.

I'm glad Salim had the same production two years ago. I'll take the player who produces now. This has nothing to with value because of age, Eddie House is a better player than Salim right now and it's not even close.

Eddie isn't close to being the better player. He gets more minutes because he doesn't have a (Please Use More Appropriate Word) as a coach.

You are honestly trying to say here that fewer minutes doesn't equal a drop in production? Thats just downright insane, Josh.

So when Salim averaged over 20 minutes a game for the final 16 games last year and was good for over 50% shooting and 40 percent from three, that was a coincidence?

Eddie House absolutely sucked until he got minutes. When he got minutes he put up numbers around what Salim put up...its pretty simple. The only difference between the two players i that Salim is a better defensive player.

And when did Salim get a chance to produce on the big stage? the biggest stage he was on was game 7 of the celtics series. Last I checked he had 10 points on 66 percent shooting.

I'm sorry but that's just a ridiculous statement. First of all, it is incorrect. Salim sat out from December until January 29 and went 1-7 in that game. Then he played on Feb. 19 and went 1-5.

Second of all, even if the game you did mention was a good one, Salim proceeded to go 1-5, 2-6 and 0-5 in the subsequent games. You act like he produces when actually given consistent minutes but he does not. You are literally just picking out one game randomly that he played well in.

Salim shot 36% this year and Eddie House just played some productive minutes in the playoffs and shot a great % from outside. Yet Salim is better because he was jsut as productive his rookie year? I'm really unclear to what your point even is.

And are you really saying Doc Rivers is a good coach? Woody just outcoached him!!!!

I'm watching Eddie House being interviewed at halftime in Game 7 of a playoff game after not getting "consistent minutes." So no, it's not as simple as you say.

[Rip2137]

The point is MINUTES = PRODUCTIVITY.

Eddie House has never produced at all with the same minutes that Salim has played in the last two year. He only produced when he had consistant minutes.

Salim hasn't produced with the minutes that he has played the last two years. He only produced when he had consistant minutes.

Thats the point. And its not tough to follow.

And you are silly if you are pretending that Salims random minutes had anything to do with production.

From March 2nd to March 10 he shot over 50 percent from the field and over 50 percent from the 3. He then played under 15 minutes for the rest of the month.

He has 3 years of boxscores to show it. And when you watch games you know there are plenty when he shot well in the first half but wouldn't see the court again to garbage time.

Are you truely saying that his minutes were consistant over the years?

[JoshB914]

Rip look at Salim's game log. When he was playing every day last season he did not put up good numbers. He would have good games sometimes, but never could put anything nice together.

For the record, I do really like Salim and I pull for him. But I just don't think he's a productive player.

Salim's career high for points in a game is 37 (14/20 FG, 6/9 3PT) vs. Portland where he played 33 minutes

I would like to see a list of NBA players that have scored 36+ points in a game EVER and their current contracts.

In '06-'07 season, whenever Salim shot more than 10 times in a game two games in a row (which were on 6 different occasions, 13 total ames), he shot a combined 80/168 from the field, 40% of those shots probably being from downtown The interesting thing is that in all but two of these games, he was given 22+ minutes.

Only once in the '07-'08 season did Salim shoot 10 or more shots two games in a row. In these games he shot a combined 11/24 FG 5/11 3PT. He averagead approximately 22 minutes 30 seconds in these games.

If Salim is given minutes consistently where he is able to shoot, he is a good player.

JJ Reddick is an air-ballin' gooftroop with no athleticism
