chw42 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 22, 2013 -> 05:31 PM) We're comparing him to Kirk Hinrich, and Nate's hit some big shots. Kirk does the same thing to a much higher degree with regards to holding the ball. PER Nate Robinson - 16.7 Rip Hamilton - 13.4 Kirk Hinrich - 10.5 Marquis Teague - 5.8 Oh, and for s***'s and giggles, Deron Williams has a PER of 18 and Ty Lawson has a PER of 14.6. Nate's been pretty valuable this year to a team that greatly lacks scoring. Nate's only considered valuable because Kirk is f***ing awful. Defense or no defense, when you put up a TS of .450, you don't deserve 25 minutes a game, nevermind starter's minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yeah, this is a very unique situation as the franchise superstar is out and the rest is patchwork. I think Nate's been more than anyone could have hoped, especially at his price tag.

Nate's been pretty valuable this year to a team that greatly lacks scoring. Nate has filled his role extremely well and I think Thibs has utilized him perfectly. This team occasionally needs a primary scorer to be out there and Nate does that. He can score and create his own shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasttriptotulsa Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-don...54445--nba.html Sounds like Scal got a little tired of people doubting his skills so he sent a one on one challenge. Beat 4 guys (who had at least some skill) by a combined scored of 44-6 and then played 3 average joes 3 on 1 and dominated them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is no surprise - the worst NBA player is 1,000x better than any s*** amateur white guy from Boston. I wish I could recruit Scal for my Thursday night league. He should try that in Chicago though - D-Rose at age 16 would have smoked him! Edited January 23, 2013 by Steve9347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played with guys like Deron Williams and Luther Head when they were at Illinois and their level of play when they actually decided to play for real during stretches of pick up games was unbelievable. It is almost like they are playing a different sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Proposed new Sonics arena... The latest designs for the proposed Sodo arena show shimmering walls of water along the west facade and on the stepped plaza to the main entryway. The architects for investor Chris Hansen on Tuesday also outlined ideas to make the facility environmentally sustainable, from capturing and reusing rainwater to solar heating and generating energy for the surrounding neighborhood. via Edited January 23, 2013 by BigSqwert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
