Exaggeration. These are NBA players, just not good ones.

If I were Davis I'd probably cuss out the entire front office. Their product on the floor is inexcusable. They've failed him.

Send Anthony Davis to the Pacers to form a Dynamic Duo with Paul George!! :pray:

Pelican should've pick up Jeremy Lin in free agency, they need a pg badly. Pick n roll of Lin and Davis would be lethal.

By the way, I was just thinking about this, but is Paul Millsap a top ten player in the league? I mean, his career trajectory has been remarkable. He started this season with 28 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists.

Last three years in ATL (all all-star years).
2013-14: 17.9 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 3.1 apg, 1.1 bpg, 1.7 spg
2014-15: 16.7 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 3.1 apg, 0.9 bpg, 1.8 spg
2015-16: 17.1 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 3.3 apg, 1.7 bpg, 1.8 spg

This guy might be the most underrated player in the league.

Millsap is seperated from the top players when you examine his post-season performances, but even in the regular season, I think you are underestimating how many players are in competition for the top 10 spots. Lebron, Durant, Curry, Leonard, Paul, Westbrook, Davis, George, Griffin, Harden. That's already 10 players right there, so I don't know about top 10, there's also guys like Cousins, Lillard, etc, etc

Eh...I wouldn't put Griffin ahead of Millsap.

You wouldn't have much company. Millsap can't do what Griffin did vs SA in 14-15 for example. Griffin has "bad" playoff series that are better than Millsap's best playoff performance as a Hawk. Compare Griffin vs Millsap in the post-season when Griffin isn't sitting out and there's really no argument for Millsap.

Griffin's 27 playoff games in 13-14 and 14-15 per 36:
23.1 pts / 9.5 rebs / 4.7 ast / 2.6 tov / 1.0 stl / 1.0 blk / 55.5 TS% / 113 Ortg

Millsap's 33 playoff games with Atlanta the past three seasons per 36:
16.4 pts / 9.3 rebs / 3.1 ast / 2.4 tov / 1.4 stl / 1.5 blk / 51.3 TS% / 103 Ortg

You can even look at Griffin in the stretches where Paul has been injured and consider both team success and his performance. Of course the argument and only argument would be that Millsap is a superior defender, but Griffin is not a bad defender and Griffin is a superior offensive player and much better as a primary option.

Can you even breathe on Davis without a foul being called?

The lesson here should be to not breath on anyone in general

Chuck Everett · Post #117 » by **Chuck Everett** » Sat Oct 29, 2016 2:05 am

That was a charge.

Ice Trae · Post #118 » by **Ice Trae** » Sat Oct 29, 2016 2:05 am
