If you can consistently drop 28/9 (he can't) you're the best player in the league. But if Jeremy is hitting his 3 ball he's very tough to stop. Teams were giving him that.

Gallo's getting pretty consistent though

The rotation on his shot looked good tonight.. looked tighter.. not as much arc either. Some nice up-tick action for you tonight in your wager.

If he can start hitting his outside shot just a little bit the bet is over... then I just have to hope the Bulls don't play the Nets :lol:

Don't have a great read on the Pacers capability.

Did you make a second wager?

No - frogfood and FDR made a BAN wager today.

If the Bulls play the Pacers or Nets AND get out of the first round... FDR BAN! If they play the Pacers or Nets and lose... frogfood BAN!

Aka - homeboy might only get 2 weeks of my sig :evil:

He'll easily get in if he ever averages something like 18, 8

I don't think he will get 18/8 with a ball dominant player like Harden. He might come close though.

I like Chicago's chances against Brooklyn for sure... against the Pacers is going to be a toss up.

But you should amend your bet to include his next REALGM account if you win and he's gone in two weeks.

Lord know it'll be obvious.

Nah tho. I'll just rock the sig myself.

Who said anything about 28/9?...

I said play consistent. He can average 17-19 points, 6-8 assists a game. As long as Harden is on the team he won't be able to average more.

I suggest you look at the stat sheet before becoming cocky again. You're still behind on the bet in every aspect.

In other news - Gasol seems to be seriously hurt. That should put an end to trade rumors about him.

18/8 is too high.

There's a lot of redundancy in a Harden & Lin duo. And if Harden is usually tearing it up, or if Houston get into a struggle Lin naturally defers to Harden, even if he's doing well himself, so it'd be hard for him to average so many points per night.

He's 0.2 ahead on ppg. 0.2% behind on FG% (though he's made big gains recently), and .1 behind on assists. As Capn'O said when he made the bet, the only category I'd worry about is assists.

Gallinari is really putting together a solid season. Leading scorer on a team that's 31-18 in the west, got his 3 point shooting % up from last year while attempting more, and averaging 5 fta per game.

I'm pretty sure Nuggets fans aren't talking about Carmelo, Cavaliers fans aren't discussing LeBron and Hornets fans aren't discussing Paul yet Knicks fans cant get enough of their lover boys Lin and Gallo :lol:

However I understand, I check up on David Lee and Wilson Chandler all the time

I didn't state a damn thing... you call it a disclaimer I call it a piece of useless information that doesn't differentiate the two in my eyes. The Knicks were 14-10 at home at the time of Kobe's 61pt game.. the players at least had enough pride to "try" and defend their home-court... the fans? Not so much.

This same topic came up on another forum and no one was going to the lengths you're going (after you said as much as I've been saying) to "proclaim" the situations are different... because they're not.

I just think it's ridiculous when someone goes out of their way to insult a fanbase they claim to be a part of. I actually said the exact same thing "I'm not gonna say anything bc the Knicks fans did it to Kobe once too" but there's obvious differentiation...a 61 point record breaking performance being so obvious it's ridiculous.
