better at damned near everything lol. if schroder wasn't playing on an elite defensive team and lin a terrible one the gap on bpm would be enormous.


If Schroder wasn't playing with the most offensively challenged bench it wouldn't be close. Schroder blows Lin out of the water. List the top 5 biggest scoring quarters for either guy and Schroder owns most of them.


i know i've got you when you begin to list untestable parameters. sit down, rookie.


Wrong. You can look it up. Schroder has higher scoring quarters than Lin this season. You know it.

Schroder has had seven 5 point scoring runs and two 10 point scoring runs this season. Lin? Zero.

Lin couldn't even get 1. Schroder gets hotter than Lin, easily. Not a question this year.

I'm gonna take a guess and say that Jamal Crawford is your favorite NBA player.

No, but I would certainly haven taken Jamal on our bench. Schroder is criminally underrated on here. Without him our record would probably be barely better than last year.

And we know what playoff Schroder brings to the table. He'll be a major asset in the post season.

No playoff Schroder is his nickname when he's a starter.

Fine, in the playoffs you can call him Dennis The Menace Schroder. Last season he went 25/8/2 in the playoffs on 42% from 3 with an offensive rating that's off the charts.

Game is going to slowdown in the post season and he's going to be the guy to break down the D on the 2nd unit. I don't expect him to go off like last year, but I do expect 20/5/2 from him come playoff time.

Who did the hawks play in the playoffs last year?

Anyone who thinks this Lakers team is a legitimate threat is fooling themselves. Also, this season is the end of LeBron being the guy.

I dont know who is worse at evaluating talent and roster building, Magic or Lebron.

LeGM was never in position to miss the playoffs, and he's ready to trade all those young guys.

No, I mean LeGM is better. The teams he built were never missing the playoffs, and he would've given up any of that youth for PG/kawhi/AD.

They need to move Gary Harris, imo.

Preferably to us.
