You're becoming the Skip Bayless of this thread, if you have a ridiculous "look at me" opinion about literally every issue it loses it's luster.

The Lakers are 10th in the West, the Nuggets are fourth. Come at me.

yo123 · 02-07-2013, 10:51 PM

When you hurl enough crap at the wall something is going to stick.

I'm loving it by the way, I love watching Denver play.

Brodeur · 02-07-2013, 10:53 PM

It's not my fault your team walked under a bunch of ******* ladders and ruined my other prediction.

Rob S · 02-07-2013, 11:14 PM

Can we get him the damn snowflake tag already? C'mon, D Unit.

Which would have brought your total of correct predictions up to... 0? Nuggets haven't won the WCF, so you're still not right about anything at all. But keep being a snowflake.

Good lord Chicago have some pride...

Remember when you thought your team had a chance at the playoffs? Or does Fenikz remember when he thought Phoenix wasn't terrible? Keep calling me snowflake, you'll see at the end of the day.

Being optimistic about the Kings possibly competing for the 8th seed is not nearly as bad as the crap you've said. I don't understand why you don't just admit that you like being a snowflake and going against the grain for the sole purpose of contradicting popular opinion. There's nothing to see, even if by some fluke longshot the Nuggets make the finals, it still doesn't justify all the ridiculous **** you've said before. Like Lawson being as good as Westbrook, Kenneth ******* Faried being better than Kyrie Irving, the Wolves being in the WCF, the Thunder becoming a middle of the pack team because they lost Harden (my personal favorite), Harden not being this super l33t efficient player you rode his dick so hard about (look at the huge dip in shooting splits and the turnovers, his value would drop a ton if he didn't lead the league in FTAs), Kevin Martin being worthless. Wanting to relegate Kobe Bryant to 4th option on his team. Carmelo Anthony.

Am i missing anything? And that was just the last couple of months. You think it's a coincidence that all of a sudden the stuff you blab on about just gets more ridiculous and asinine? You're either consciously being a contrarian, or you're too stupid to realize how your "opinions" have changed over time. At least i'm giving you the benefit of the doubt in saying you're purposely doing it.

Sorry, saying Kenneth Faried is better than Kyrie is one of the worst things I've heard in this thread ever.

scottyboy · 02-08-2013, 08:17 AM

Call Metsox "spring" because he just melted snowflake

Wootylicous · 02-08-2013, 09:04 AM

Team Canada will be full of studs soon. Wiggins, Bennett, Justin Jackson, Trey Lyles, Nicholson, Kabongo, Ennis!

Fear us.

-Lawson WAS as good as Westbrook last year, he just had a really, really bad start to this season. He's picked it up in the last two months, though.
-Kobe hasn't been this efficient in a long, long time. I didn't expect him to magically find efficiency when he's in his mid-30s.
-Harden is still efficient because he gets to the line so much. That's part of being efficient you assclown. The only main options that have been more efficient this year are Durant and LeBron, who happen to be two of the three best players in the NBA (really depends on if you want Paul as 2 or not)
-We'll see come the postseason with OKC how they can fair without Harden, who was HUGE for them pre-NBA finals...and Durant got a lot better this year, for what it's worth
-I've explained the Wolves thing to absolute death, how the **** am I wrong when their entire team has been hurt at one point or another?
-I was wrong about Martin, but he's still nowhere close to Harden and it was a bad trade
-I'll stick by Faried being better than Kyrie...a lot has to do with his inconsistent as all hell minutes (George Karl sucks) and the fact that Kyrie is awful at creating for others on his team
-I'm wrong about Melo?

By the way, if the Nuggets make the finals, it won't be because of some ******** fluke that you're spewing. It'll be because they were the best team in the Western Conference. I still think the Clips are the favorite, but I would put the Nugs ahead of the Thunder still.

Suns are exactly where I predicted them to be dumb dumb

Nothing you said was really that crazy. I believe you believe those ideas to some extent.

Except the bolded...

Portland is the only team I had below Phoenix that isn't

For some reason I thought you argued them for a chance at the 8th seed. Whatevs, you're a face.

Wootylicous · 02-08-2013, 12:02 PM

Kenneth Faried is not that far from Kyrie.

fenikz · 02-08-2013, 12:03 PM

isn't that a good thing?

LBJ trolling the dunk contest is amazing. I love it.

comahan · 02-08-2013, 02:04 PM

Did Metsox just try to discount Harden getting to the line 10 times a game? Saying that his value would drop a ton if he didn't get to the line would be like saying LeBron wouldn't be as good if he was a bad passer. You can't just theoretically take away one of a persons main attributes and go from there as you try to validate an opinion. He averages 26 points on 17 shots. That's efficient, no matter how he does it.

Of the top scorers:

Durant 29.3 PPG on 18.3 Shots Per Game. 1.60 PTS Per Shot.
Carmelo 28.5 PPG on 21.9 Shots Per Game. 1.30 PTS Per Shot.
Kobe 27.5 PPG on 21.1 Shots Per Game. 1.30 PTS Per Shot.
LeBron 26.8 PPG on 18.6 Shots Per Game. 1.44 PTS Per Shot.
Harden 25.8 PPG on 17.2 Shots Per Game. 1.50 PTS Per Shot.
Kyrie 23.9 PPG on 18.4 Shots Per Game. 1.30 PTS Per Shot.
Westbrook 22.6 PPG on 18.9 Shots Per Game. 1.19 PTS Per Shot.
Wade 22.0 PPG on 16.4 Shots Per Game. 1.34 PTS Per Shot.
Parker 20.3 PPG on 15.2 Shots Per Game. 1.34 PTS Per Shot.
Curry 19.7 PPG on 15.9 Shots Per Game. 1.23 PTS Per Shot.

Harden (1.50 PPS) is second only to Durant (1.60 PPS) among the leagues top 10 scorers.

Also, lol at Westbrook.

MetSox17 · 02-08-2013, 02:52 PM

I think he gets to the line way too much than his skill would dictate. He's not a very good shooter this year, and he turns the ball over four times a game. Him leading the NBA in ftas is what makes him efficient, not like lebron and Durant who would be efficient regardless of how many fta they had.

MetSox17 · 02-08-2013, 02:54 PM

His %assisted is also hilariously low compared to other top players. Lower than westbrooks also, if I'm not mistaken.

Also, f posting from my phone.
