Offical Rest of the League Playoffs Thread

[kdapiton]

Man I love playoffs atmosphere, it can get really sad when your team goes fishing though.

The only people who think that Paul George is a Superstar are the refs. Dude shoots 3-13 and has 17fta? What the crap is that?

Griffin flops hard while backing down on ZBo in the paint. F#cking pathetic. He can't back him down after 5s of trying so he snaps his neck and ZBo has to go to the bench.

Like I said before. Give Rose and Thibs the Clippers roster, and we get out of the East every year.

Did you watch the game? Officials always tend to reward the more aggressive team, and George was getting to the paint at will because the Hawks couldn't stay in front of him. The Hawks had no choice but to foul, there were at least 4 times I counted where George would have simply had a huge slam had he not been forcibly tied up from behind. It was isolate on the wing, cross his defender up, blow past him, and go to the hoop too fast for defense to react, the hawks were either going to hack him or let him dunk, they chose to hack him. Only one or two of the calls were questionable, the others were the Hawks having to purposely foul George to stop him from dunking, laying the ball in or any easy shot from up close. You call the game by the rules, it isn't George's fault that he was blowing by the first line of defense so quickly that the help couldn't get there in time to contest without fouling, and even if you are right and the refs think George is a superstar then that just bodes well for him in fact becoming one, if he can get to the line at a high rate next season then he's already an elite/superstar player, since that would push his scoring up quite a bit and help his efficiency, and he's already an elite rebounder, defender and passer for a swing.

Also George just won the NBA's most improved player award.

Westbrook
Harden
Dirk
Griffin
Duncan
Parker
Bosh
George

Who doesn't belong

All but two of those guys have made an all-nba team. Wesbrook BTW has been on 2 back to back 2nd teams.

George and Harden are the two that haven't.

Harden averages 26pts, 5.8ast, 5rebs, 44% from the field and 37% behind the arc with a 60% TS. 22.9 PER. All of it as the clear cut number 1 option on his team.

George averages 17.4pts, 4st, 7.6rbs, 42% from the field and 36% behind the arc with a .53% TS. 16.8 PER with sharing go to guy with David West who helps takes some pressure off of George.

Yeah Harden is the better player.

George is definitely a stud and still has potential, but he is not as good as Westbrook, Curry or Harden yet.

And that's all she wrote folks.

Too bad I'm not a she ummmm........... I still got something to say

1.)On that list, as great as Duncan and Dirk were, nobody is a superstar. If you want to throw out career accolades then George is done. George was really good this year, I'll give you the last two.

2.) @Red-Bulls83, those are some nice offensive stats, why didn't you talk about defense

3.) How about we wait until we see the All-NBA list for THIS year before we start talking about that

4.) @Red-Bulls83 you really think that Curry is better than George. I bet the reason is offensive.

You're wasting your time trying to convince me that George is the better player than Westbrook, or ever will be.

Did Paul George buy you a car or something?

[BullsHOF]

Onto to the bigger issue. Give Rose and Thibs the Clippers roster, and we get out of the East every year.

Amirite?

He isn't now, but he easily could be within the next 2 years. Westy is in his 5th year, George is 2 years younger and just in his 3rd, and George doesn't have to be as good offensively as Westbrook to be a similar caliber player, he's better by far defensively and as a rebounder, plus he's a better passer for a swing than Westy is for a point guard. If George can put up 20 ppg on slightly better efficiency than he does now than he's absolutely comparable to players like Westbrook when you consider the game of basketball is played on both sides of the court.

Keep in mind that George plays on a slow paced halfcourt team, put him on a team that plays as fast paced as the Thunder and he can already give you 20 ppg probably, he's a great fastbreak player, and doesn't necessarily get to showcase that as much in Indiana as he could in say Houston or OKC.

You act like George is Scottie Pippen, and Westbrook is chopped liver. Give me Westbrook's athleticism and overall game at the PG position, then figure out the rest.

George has a lot of catching up to do.

You're also forgetting to add how Westbrook turns entire defenses into mush when he's on the attack. Paul George doesn't have that capability. He's a nice young player, but lets not overrate the kid until after the playoffs.

@pmonster
The argument was that George is better or as good as those guys already. And yeah I already said he is a great defensive player, but harden doesn't suck at it and curry is getting better. He is better than those guys defensively but he's not close offensively. He very good and on the rise and COULD become better than both those guys, but he isn't TODAY.

I'm rooting for Memphis in this series.
