Watching the Wolves Kings game. The Kings announcers are brutal. Really makes me appreciate Carr.

But but...uhh 4 years ago he only averaged 10 points and didn't win a ring. Clearly the worst player ever.wildcats20;1330979 wrote:James Harden update for the night...

Sleeper doesn't say he's the worst. He says he's not one of the 25 best. Which is a true statement.

If his numbers stay exactly where they are this year, is he a top 25 player?

He's certainly having a good season, so its possible he could sneak in. My apologies for not crowning a player after 1 or 2 good games.gport_tennis;1331063 wrote:If his numbers stay exactly where they are this year, is he a top 25 player?
I mean Varejao is having a ridiculous season as a PF/C but do you see anyone even suggesting that Varejao is a top 25 player? No.

At what point would he be considered? The guy is averaging 14.5 points and 14.9 rebounds per game. He has the highest rebounding rate (per 48) in the NBA. He's shooting a good FT % for a big guy although it would be nice if he got to the line a bit more often.sleeper;1331152 wrote:He's certainly having a good season, so its possible he could sneak in.

If you look at his career it's a nice increasing trend. Might his production fall off? Possibly some, but he will be a double-double guy this season ( at worst something like 12/12)
Beyond those more "basic" stats he's a top 10 player in PER.
I'm not saying he is, but he is certainly making a case for himself.

He has been one of the top 5 centers this year. This year he has absolutely been top 25

He had a great season last year as a 6th man. There is a plethora of data suggesting that he would be this good. I don't make my judgements off of 1-2 games. I say barring injury the numbers will stay pretty similar. I don't think he will lead NBA in points but top 7 for sure. He might lead the league in free throw attempts and makes(for a guard) which is huge in my book.
I actually thought his assists would be higher though. I'd like to see him average 7 assists and drop TO under 4. Other than that he has been what I thought he would be.

Since OSU38967 probably wont post it.
Rondo will have his streak of double digit assist games come to an end tonight. He was ejected with 3 on the night.

I'm not even sure why rondo went after humphries either. I didn't see anything that'd make anyone react the way rondo did

Byron had a highlight throwback dunk...I know he's 9 foot tall but it's still pretty good.

James Harden checks out with 2:34 left. His final line: 17 points on 3-of-16 shooting, three assists and three turnovers

What was Rondo thinking? Humphries would break his ass in half.

Almost thought it was you at first when watching the highlight. Replay tough guy, soon as he knows it will be broken up he gets tough.Fly4Fun;1332044 wrote:Because Rondo is a little bitch...
