ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo 2m2 minutes agoTyreke Evans now has 9 career games with 12 or more assists. 4 of them have come in his last 5 games.
maybe tyreke is a point guard after all

tyreke has put up some surprisingly solid numbers for stretches this season
― Clay, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 03:10 (nine years ago) link
nice 22 & 20 for deandre in a loss i guess

NOLA getting that 8th seed no longer seems like the total impossibility it once did, only 3 behind PHX
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 03:46 (nine years ago) link
holding that spot is a more dubious proposition tho
and like, don't we all believe the thunder will eventually get good again?
― Spottie, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 03:54 (nine years ago) link
they need to get good again very soon
― micah, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 03:57 (nine years ago) link
I mean they won tonight but it was 1. vs the magic and 2. pretty close. they have to win 24 more to be near playoff contention, 26 more (50 total) for a better chance, 30 more for a guarantee.
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 04:04 (nine years ago) link
I can see them winning 20 more but I think all the preexisting damage means they fall just short of the cutoff point in this season's west

jeff green v assertive. 5 really tough (basically) buzzer beater losses now.

hope nola grab a playoff spot behind a rampaging brow and he wins the mvp
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 13:34 (nine years ago) link
not really feeling our front runners curry and harden needs to be brow
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 13:35 (nine years ago) link
they have an OKC back to back next and then the bulls, but after those the schedule isn't terribly hard for them, like it's more or less balanced between hard and easy games until the very end, which is all games against contenders
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 14:16 (nine years ago) link
I would be fine with curry as MVP, much less so with harden, but if they even just get to the 1st round and no further on brow's back, it makes his case indisputable (I'd hope) even to the old heads who keep repeating "MVPs get teams to the playoffs"
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 14:18 (nine years ago) link
(to clarify, harden is v good but are we really gonna make that face the surrogate and embodiment of the NBA?)
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 14:20 (nine years ago) link
curry is a fine MVP choice imo. i bet lebron ends up winning it again tho lol
― sae nnwurd - throw sum mo ka (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 3 February 2015 17:11 (nine years ago) link
prefer mvp to be dominant on both ends, curry wldnt be as weak a choice as rose, approx as weak a choice as nash tho
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 17:42 (nine years ago) link
with both curry and especially harden i feel like theres a certain lack of discipline, they both still have room to grow
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 17:44 (nine years ago) link
i mean brow has prob more room to grow but brow is so good
curry's been really good on d this year
― Spottie, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 18:07 (nine years ago) link
think if things continue to go like they are now then lebron wins it with brow 2nd, curry 3rd and harden 4th
dont want to hear yr homer curry defense defense

regarding bron, in that hypothetical instance MVP voters who picked him are choosing to ignore his first 1/3 of the season, rather than the consistent excellence of AD, curry and even harden...which i guess i can see bc no one is really expecting voters to be completely rational
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 18:13 (nine years ago) link
well his horrible was still pretty damn good
― Spottie, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 18:14 (nine years ago) link
Harden has been having a fantastic season, but he needs several more to erase the shame of all those viral video clips of him being clueless on defense.

if you go by PER, brow is as expected on top (32.07), w/harden (27.30) and curry (27.20) at 5 and 6 respectively. brow has played the least games of the three, but 43 isn't that much less than 45 (steph) or 48 (beard), so still safe to say his ultimate value is higher. LBJ is 26.19 in 40 games.
sidebar: whiteside is already #2 at 27.98 with 21 games played, damn

― yr uncle drew, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 19:14 (nine years ago) link
the bucks are way fun to watch and if their improvements aren't flukes (certainly don't seem that way) and they keep growing, could be a serious threat in the east in a few years
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 3 February 2015 19:30 (nine years ago) link
this year their ceiling is probaaaably the first playoff round

They are fun! No idea who Middleton is but he's playing well. Crazy they're doing as well as they are w out Larry sanders and Jabari.
― Steph def def (Spottie), Tuesday, 3 February 2015 19:35 (nine years ago) link
remember when everyone was all oh no jabari is out rip bucks and i was all hes a rookie he is bad theyll prob be better now

You have been generally otm about rookies sucking that is true an I usually forget it
Year 3 is historically the giant leap for most good players and it's only a handful a generation who are really almost fully ready to make an impact as a rook

Bucks and Hawks are good arguments this year against "distractions" meaning anything maybe (sanders, racist execs)
