[Syphon Filter]

dam cavs.

Remember when I said Isaiah Thomas is a better player now than Nash ever was? I stand by that...

 

[alr1ght]

Wow. Absolutely atrocious execution. Blame directly on the coaching staff.

[Cloudy]

It sounds crazy cos of all Nash's accolades but as a pure basketball player (take away teammates etc.), Nash was not even in the same area code...

 

[Smokey]

AB halfcourt shot will start the comeback

You know what?

Why do you think so? Can you give me some reasons?

I agree, Nash was much better.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Are the Kings actually good now that they have Rudy Gay? They beat the depleted Heat after coming down from 17 and have cut the Spurs lead of 15 to 1

I think they're like 4-6 since the trade, which is better than they were.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Bring on Canaan

 

[Vic]

I still can't believe Isaiah Thomas was the last played drafted in 2011. Insane.

Konex stahp..

Eyeball test. If current Thomas played prime Nash one on one, Nash would get thoroughly dominated. Give them identical teammates and I believe the team with Thomas is also better..

 

[reilo]

big assets, so much lose

 

[diehard]

It's so crazy because he actually believes it.

 

[reilo]

Shut the fuck up, Konex.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Konex, you need to go to an optometrist.

 

[Cloudy]

LOL you guys just can't handle the truth. Thomas is gonna put up better stats this season (as a starter) than Nash EVER did in his career...

doesn't make sense ok. who cares about one on one, it's a team sport.

eyeball test says that Nash is 10x the better passer and shooter and has 10x the bball iq.

but stats probably back up my eyeball test.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

AB halfcourt shot will start the comeback

Hope like this feeds my soul.

 

[pilonv1]

Konex, you need to go to optometrist.

Are they doing brain surgery now?

 

[Cloudy]

I don't judge individual players by their teammates stats. I just look at who I feel is the objectively better player

 

[reilo]

LOL you guys just can't handle the truth. Thomas is gonna put up better stats this season (as a starter) than Nash EVER did in his career...

That's like... false, on so many levels.

Nash had seasons of 18.8PPG, 10.5APG, 4.2RPG, 51.2FG%, 43.9 3PT% (4.3 3PTA!!), 92.1FT%....

And I mean seasons. Plural. You are delusional.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Our "big 3" are getting it done tonight.

Rudy Gay just wins basketball games.

 

[KingGondo]

Dat Collison-Lamb PnR. Silky.

 

[thekad]

Konex has somehow topped himself.

 

[diehard]

LOL you guys just can't handle the truth. Thomas is gonna put up better stats this season (as a starter) than Nash EVER did in his career...

lol what?

not even close.

Thomas is better than Stockton too, right?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

If Kobe had gotten a team to the WCF with Shawn Marion and Boris Diaw as his best teammates, I think there would be hundreds of posts about it per day for the entirety of NBA-GAF's existence.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

I don't judge individual players by their teammates stats. I just look at who I feel is the objectively better player

how are you objectively looking at them and ignoring stats and using eyeball tests?

 

[RedAssedApe]

lol

 

[pilonv1]

Jan |OT| Konex claims Xavier Henry better than prime Kobe

 

[KingGondo]

Lamb of God.

On stacked teams.

Thomas is 21/7/4 as a starter this year and he'll only get better

PS: FG% is overrated

 

[reilo]

Steve Nash has a 60.5TS% for his career. His TS% during his Phoenix run was 61.7%

That's only comparable to like... Lebron and Durant I think. And those guys have only been doing that the last few seasons. Nash did it for his career.

 

[SamuraiX-]

So this is what fullretard Konex looks like... I've only heard stories before witnessing it now.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Canaan already a fan favorite. Fuck fisher

Okay Kobe never did that. Does that put Nash even in the same sentence as Kobe as an alltime great player? See the silliness of these advanced stats?

 

[KingGondo]

Dayum, OKC bench putting on a show. Roberson rebound, then a Lamb halfcourt lob to PJ3.

 

[fertygo]

LOL you guys just can't handle the truth. Thomas is gonna put up better stats this season (as a starter) than Nash EVER did in his career...

Dude he averaging 19/4.

What does Kobe have to do... oh neverfucking mind.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

19 PPG with a 116 ORtg in only 32 MPG are great offensive numbers from Isaiah though. He's putting up nearly the same WS/48 as the original Isiah Thomas did in his best season ever despite almost no defensive help to up his DWS.

But he's not on Nash's level.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Steve Nash is a two time MVP. Best player on three WCF teams. What are the fuck are we even talking about here?

 

[Goreomedy]

What a game to seal the best record in the nba. Okc first to 25.

 

[Cloudy]

Dude he averaging 19/4.

He didn't start till they traded for Gay

36 year old Nash went 15 & 11 on nearly 50/40/90 on the 10/11 Suns and had them top 10 in offense.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

LOL you guys just can't handle the truth. Thomas is gonna put up better stats this season (as a starter) than Nash EVER did in his career...

 

[SamuraiX-]

SWAGlemore's defensive awareness is some of the worst I've ever seen. I honestly think he's worse than Marcus Thornton when it comes to staying with his man and that's really saying something.

 

[diehard]

where was this Manu in the finals?

you fucker
