He has a DRtg of 107.
Durant scores more points, grabs more rebounds, and dishes more assists than Melo while playing better defense. He also scores way more efficiently. Also his teams have been much better.
But yeah Melo is better :lol
They're blowing all the bad teams out, though. Their SRS (which takes into account margin of victory and strength of opponents) is the best in the league.

Congrats to Knicks-age for putting Reilo, Kad, dIEHARD, and myself on the same side of an argument.
Takes a lot of work to pull that off.

You know they added the back down rule because of Barkley. Barkley on the suns would grind the shit out of guys from the 3 point line. He's the straw that broke the camel's back in regards to post up play making. And you know Barkley was a monster at pushing the ball from end line to end line.

We've also beaten Miami, San Antonio twice, Atlanta, Chicago, Minnesota, and Utah. We took OKC to overtime in OKC despite Paul having a terrible game. I'd say we have a pretty decent resume so far.
OKC just got taken to overtime at home by Darren Collison. Let's not disparage the Clips taking care of business against lesser opponents.
are you kidding? if it turns into a run and gun game okc will lose no doubt. Westbrook does not have the self control to execute a run n gun offense especially against someone like Paul.
if the lakers had some athleticism and put in some effort on D nash would run circles around westbrook.
I don't care what the record shows right now when playoff time comes and the games go down to the wire the thunder will miss Harden more than anything especially if Westbrook is the one that has to make the play.

"Ball Handling" is more than just handles.
Avery doesn't need any help from deron to get him self fired.
What a retarded comment.
Avery got him self fired.

I approve of this message. I've always felt like Deron was rather overrated.
C'mon now you know Deron had a hand in there somewhere. Avery still fucked up, but Deron definitely threw fuel into the fire.

Is anyone here a member of Nets-age to be shitted on for this? If not it will likely be ignored.
Something needed to happen on that nets team they lost too many damn games they should have won. i have too many ripped up parlays because they couldn't beat teams they were supposed to beat. And its not like anyone is taking joe johnson off their hands Avery was the easiest scapegoat.
How the fuck do you go from a secret encounters ad to a pelvic mesh one?

I've been reading to catch up and I literally started thinking similar things, lol
lol yeah we arent winning
He's a fool if he thinks it took me a lot of work.
There wasn't any Jersey age, and I haven't seen Brooklyn age either
Now that I think of it why are we putting "age" after every contingency group

Hey idk I just following the trend.
Convenient story line that will be replicated by simpletons and journalists.
Cause he's a fucking terrible coach?
The locker room was apparently very divided and un-impressed with him.
He'd managed to install a horrifically bad offensive system.
Even crash had come out and said that their offense and team weren't playing together or hard enough.
Avery got him self fired because he's not equipped to be a NBA level head coach.

Still pissed about those finals.
There are a lot of coaches firing themselves right now then
A lot of them are hidden on teams that aren't shilling out 90m + taxes in salary this year.
Doesn't make them good coaches.
Keith Smart is a horrible coach, but you think the Kings are firing him and paying a second coach you're kidding your self.

Maybe. I feel like he's gotten a heck of a lot better at D than he's ever been. Whole team really. His Denver bro J.R will actually give a hell of a lot of effort on D.
And honestly they really just need a go to scorer in Melo. He seems like dirk on that 2011 mavs team. He's the dude who can get buckets in iso when needed, but otherwise he fits into that offense really well. Not a shut down defender, but their team D is really good and he doesn't hinder that.
Also i agree Clips are still unimpressive to me. I think they're beating a lot of crap to decent teams, and are riding high because of their bench. They could go deep in the playoffs but i bet they get booted in the second round, blake still can't make a midrange consistently, nor can he score in the post consistently.
When the game slows down a bit and everyone's transition D is better they seem like they'll crumble.

Love handles
I know he had good handles for a PF
But he didn't handle the ball like that
Sorry Adam.
2 things.
My condolences adam.
Why would that be epic? a top 3 WC team facing a sub .500 team? I hardly see the hype.

I actually think Melo is much closer to KD than a lot of you think. I would still take KD though
The sudden TOP THREE is still ridiculous though. Great teams need talent around their star core but there a only a few players who singlehandedly change cultures and are two way players. Guys you can put absolute shit around and the player will make them look serviceable. He isnt that

I opened that thread, read the first few responses, then closed. I don't know what it's about and don't want to know.
Btw, meeks defense has been atrocious. (This might have more to do with Antoni's terrible rotations)Really, the only guys who play defense in LA are Dwight, metta and maybe jordan hill. Horrible oversight by LA scouts.
EDIT: Examples of D'antoni's crap. Having Morris guard Melo/Gallinari recently. Putting in Duhon in the game when metta fouled out in denver....and finally, oblivious to his small ball leading to us getting slaughtered by Denver on the boards.

Career average:
Kevin Durant: TS% 58.6 ORating 113 DRating 106
Carmelo Anthony: TS% 54.6 ORating 108 DRating 107
Bernard King: TS% 56.1 ORating 108 DRating 107
Bernard King 2.0 Indeed.
Oh, and don't even bring up this season, the gap between the 2 is even greater.
