Deng is the NBA's second best player.

No wonder the Mavs didn't keep this guy on

Noah hurts the team’s performance.

WTF

lol just noticed

someone in the comments brought it up too.

and he responded saying noah plays well next to miller and that’s it.

not that it could be taj’s suckitude, or anything.

Forget the part about Noah

We have an all-star player now. Deng. I feel so much better as a Bulls fan now that we finally got our superstar.

i know i feel much better now!

Haven't the Bulls had a tough schedule so far?

So far the Bulls have a .500 record and (after adjusting for schedule strength) are playing at an average NBA level

Shouldn’t they technically be playing better than average?

he developed all of his systems while he worked for the Mavs, my guess is he worked on one until it came out with Dirk at #1 by a longshot and just stuck with that system — regardless if it ranks someone like Deng as the 2nd best player in the NBA.

I wouldn’t base a lot on this guy’s opinions.

Its all completely worthless at this point

I’m sure the standard error puts both Deng and Noah somewhere between best in the league and Lindsey Hunter.

Hurry up and Trade Deng!

Before he passes Dirk Nowitzki.

Perfect!

Now all we need is the Cavs to hire this guy as GM, then we can trade Deng for Lebron straight up, and everyone wins! (except for all the people that kill themselves in Cleveland)

when b-r.com posted a comment a few games into the season saying that melo,

who everyone thought was playing out of his mind, was actually slightly hurting the nuggets , i felt the same way i do now: it would be nice if these guys explained how these results came about. if you just tell me deng is great and noah sucks, and you say nothing about how that can be, i find myself not caring about your opinions. mindless number-flinging is becoming a little frustrating.

so if he had some numbers to back up his statement saying Deng was the 2nd best player in the league...

you might actually believe it? This guy couldn’t even begin to try and explain that to me. I stopped caring about his opinion as soon as I read that. There is no need to look further.

by i_like_turtles on Nov 23, 2009 6:54 PM CST up reply actions

some kind of explanation, not just numbers, would be nice. he doesnt offer anything

other than his system, which may or may not be total b.s. at least hes consistent though; he loved bg so something must be working in the bulls favor to keep them from sucking. i guess this means jeff green is probably 3rd best in the league?
