Re: Game thread dlo home debut

And you said he's a top 30 player. I have a bridge to sell you. LOL

DLO was not even in top 300 in NBA RPM. He's even worse in regular plus minus stats. Remember last two games of -48, -22 and against a poor Charlotte team he is positive. DLO rarely shows up against good teams.

The one that KG4Ever seems to be contorting or just misremembering is when I said Russell had a top-30 VORP last season, which is completely true whether you hate the guy or not. I'm not sure where I'd rank him amongst the league today, but I think he's a very good and talented young player.

But KG4Ever has been exposed tonight as being bias and unjustified in his analysis. Russell was arguably the best player on the floor for either team tonight -- the numbers reflect this as does the eye test -- and yet again we get the same tired nonsense about how god-awful Russell is and yada yada yada. It's unbecoming. Perhaps pick and choose your battles more wisely, KG4Ever.

Camden, you are full of shit as always. I know exactly what you said and now you are backpedaling. I find it silly that you throw out the term "biased" when that is exactly how I feel about you and some of your crazy postings and your disregard of any facts and advanced stats that go against your position.

There is a reason Russell is now with team 4. Rosas got taken to the cleaners and I believe time will bear this out. Trading away draft picks is not the answer to success and the Russell trade potentially could be among the worst trades this franchise has ever made. Trading away an elite defender (Covington) and trading for a terrible defender is comically stupid. Thinking you can just outscore the other team and not play defense has never been the recipe for success.
