I'm not going to go into detail about why Wright is better than those players and one or two of them might be better, my point is that none of them past the top 8 (And even Granger is stretching it) are good. Cavs' best wing? Christain Eyenga. Timberwolves? Empty stats Beas. Wizards? Contract year chucker. Raptors? I can't even list DeRozan because he's so bad. Kings have wings. Jazz's best? Gordon Hayward (Who is going to be awesome but after that they have CJ Miles and Raja Bell). Pistons have tons of wings but they all suck. Back to Cavs. Bucks? John Salmons. So 7/9 top teams picking in the draft desperately need a wing as their main need.

Uhuh. Obviously this is the point where I bring up your disdain for Michael Beasley and how you proclaim him to be a below average player based on certain bizarre criteria of yours, but Dorell Wright is a top ten player at his position? Yeah, okay bud.

 

[Omiee]

They should extend video reviews for technical fouls. It's a call that often has more of an effect on the game then whether or not someone's toe was on the 3 point line.

how would this work?

 

[Doomsayer]

Itwasmeanttobe is probably the best troll in this thread. I don't see why people even bother responding anymore.

Nah both of them deserved to be thrown out. You can't throw elbows or punches like that in a game.

Here's what Wall did:

That was hardly a punch. Z threw an elbow and another elbow, it should've never gotten to that point in the first place.

 

[reilo]

So, ugh, the Nets just dropped 36 points in the first quarter on the Knicks with Lopez contributing 16 of those. Yeahhh.

 

[numble]

how would this work?

Okay, some technicals for mouthing off to officials wouldn't work, but they've called stuff for hanging on the rim, and when people appear to be fighting, sometimes giving double technicals even when only one guy did something. Or that time when Mo Peterson got ejected for playfully slapping former teammate Vince Carter.

high scoring quarter by the nets and knicks

Hardly a punch? He clenched his fist, wound up and hit Z in the chest....

Z shouldn't of thrown the elbows first though, that was clearly wrong. But you have to be the bigger man.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Z is a big guy, his elbows are eye level with Wall. It didn't look intentional. Wall should've been taller and not grow up to be a bitch. Flop that shit if you have to and get a call.

Sorry, I hate the Heat but that wasn't their fault. Howard came in to prevent Z from getting attacked.

 

[Black Mamba]

After reading his list, I realize it wasn't worth even getting involved in a debate. Just walk away.

portlands hornets game is going to be fun, i hope portland wins. Hornets should stay in 7th seed

 

[Boombloxer]

I see both Pop and Jax resting key starters in the last week.

Yea. #2 Seed is most likely. I don't expect us to run the table.

Looks like I'm missing a few good games tonight.

Those elbows were intentional...gtfo

No...you!

phil should rest the starters if we win tomorrow.

If Z wanted to keep the ball away from Wall, all he had to do was raise his arms in the air. Hell, not even both arms, mind you, just one arm with the ball in his palm. Those elbows were intentional.

 

[giri]

Dorrell Wright top 10 SF in the NBA? Lol.

The following players are better than Wright IMO.

LeBron James
Carmelo Anthony
Paul Pierce
Kevin Durant
Danny Granger
Shawn Marion
Luol Dang
Wilson Chandler
Gerald Wallace
Grant Hill
Jared Dudley
Chase Budinger
Ron Artest

Wilson and Chase aren't.

Budinger could, but he has a ways to go (though i did call it last year, he's got the goods to be good).

Losing might push NOH to the 8 seed or out. It might be better for them to win.

Eh, I can't tell, really. Not sure for whom to root.

was Z ejected ?
i feel so bad for the hornets, those seats are empty

Uhuh. Obviously this is the point where I bring up your disdain for Michael Beasley and how you proclaim him to be a below average player based on certain bizarre criteria of yours, but Dorell Wright is a top ten player at his position? Yeah, okay bud.

My bizarre criteria is that Michael Beasley sucks at everything related to professional basketball. He's an inefficient chucker who is one of the worst rebounders, passers, and defenders in the NBA. Statistically, Wright is better at everything while playing at a slower pace. Wright also has an NBA niche. Wright is also a below average starter but his position sucks. Go and name wings on those teams better than those I listed, it's a disaster. Their point guards are generally fine.

 

[Omiee]

yeah i dont know, if the hornets win they are tied in wins and loses.
I just wish hornets end up being the 7th seed.

 

[Owzers]

Lebron crying because they didn't give him a touch foul and tried to stop the ball instead. Cry more.

 

[reilo]

Michael Beasley averages more points, more rebounds, shoots a higher percentage, gets to the line more, all while playing 6.5MPG less than Dorell Wright. But of course, the only conclusion we can come to is...

Statistically, Wright is better at everything while playing at a slower pace.

Exactly!

 

[Vire]

was Z ejected ?

Yeah, Z, Juwan Howard, and Wall were ejected.

Fake Bill Walton:

Passions overflowing in Heat/Wizards! Flying elbows and menacing stares are thrown around like a back room brawl over a beautiful barmaid.

 

[Omiee]

man farmar was slapped ( wanted to post earlier but gas acting up )

 

[AlphaSnake]

You know...at the end of the day even if the Nets get destroyed by the Rockets. Or if they lose by 50 to the Cavs. Or they are scoreless an entire game...at the end of the day there is still one Net who will be a winner everyday.

 

[Omiee]

man lopez has been amazing tonight, knicks defense is horrible

 

[reilo]

Nets have 61pts with 3min left in the half? lol. The Nets are the second lowest scoring team at 93.5PPG behind CHA at 93PPG.

 

[pilonv1]

JEREMY LIN SIGHTING

 

[reilo]

PATTY MILLS SIGHTING

Fixed for great justice!

 

[pilonv1]

Fixed for great justice!

Mills playing is no longer a novelty

 

[reilo]

Mills playing is no longer a novelty

Last time he played more than 6 minutes in a game was versus Cleveland two weeks ago.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

I love Deng. We always heard rumors about him being traded but I am so glad he has stuck around. The bulls would not be where they are without him, fucking iron man out there.

 

[rinker]

Do any of you guys watch NBA League Pass on a Roku box? I've only done it a few times but i noticed it kicks me out to the loading screen after like 10 minutes of watching a game and then it wont actually ever load.

 

[pilonv1]

Jeremy Lin hasn't played in months

 

[Megaton]

Knicks should be ashamed, allowing Petro to actually look like more than a corpse

 

[Judderman]

*Puts on ESPN, sees score*

Ugh.

 

[The Chosen One]

Just tuned it....

DAT KNICK DEFENSE....

Allowing 65+ points to the Nets in the first half...smh

 

[pilonv1]

Wednesday Night Knicks

 

[Cloudy]

Knicks literally have 3 players

 

[pilonv1]

New Kids On The Block & The Backstreet Boys are touring TOGETHER?

 

[reilo]

Jeremy Lin hasn't played in months

[overcast]

Fuck you 76ers :\ game is getting me angry

 

[Owzers]

McGee block on Bosh needs to be gifed...please!!!!!

lol McGee blocks bosh on the next play too. NVM second was Wade.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Bosh just got his balls removed.

 

[pilonv1]

Patty with ten points in seven mins.

Lin has 2 points and 2 assists!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lol at the Knicks giving up 68 in a half to the Nets.

 

[diehard]

Knicks suck ass on defense, why is anyone surprised or laughing.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Dean Cain got jokes on Knicks D. Hahaha.

Exactly!

Wright TS%: 55%
Beasley: 50%


Clearly higher percentage shooter there. Wright is a worse rebounder though which is pitiful. I'm not arguing for Wright, I'm arguing against the SF position. When guys who play 50 games a year and put up average stats will having a below average impact on offense execution and aren't even average defender can be considered top ten SFs, a position sucks. Whatever, let's continue debating which player sucks less like you always do instead of what I was saying.

 

[dream]

Remember when the Knicks won a game and ESPN wrote an article about how the Knicks have jelled and New York Basketball is Relevant Again?
