Congratulations OKC!

[Pelicans78]

You guys have definitely clinched a playoff spot. After watching this Rockets-Hornets abomination, there is no doubt you guys will make the playoffs. No chance for either teams surpassing you guys. Congratulations and enjoy the ride! :toast

:rollin:rollin

[Pelicans78]

:rollin:rollin

Its true. Hornets kicked their asses at OKC last month and were playing better until CP3's injury. OKc luckily won at NO last week without CP3 or Thornton who got injured in the 4th. With both guys, Hornets win that game easily.

[23LeBronJames23]

I think the Hornets w/ CP3 and OKC are about on par with each other. OKC gets better with every passing week, though.

[Pelicans78]

I think the Hornets w/ CP3 and OKC are about on par with each other. OKC gets better with every passing week, though.

Hornets were improving this season as well until CP3's injury. They were 11-4 in January until his injury.

Plus CP3 is CP3.

[Pelicans78]

Wheres Durant? Oh yeah OKC record>>>>>>>NO record

Before CP3's injury, Hornets had a better record. They're only 5-5 since including 4 of the losses at home including a close loss to OKC.

And KD is KD. You obviously have no credibility in this situation since you think KD isn't worth mentioning when comparing teams.

And KD is KD. You obviously have no credibility in this situation since you think KD isn't worth mentioning when comparing teams.

Basically I was comparing how the Hornets are better at every other position besides SF.

James Harden is better than anyone NO has at shooting guard.

David West might be better than Jeff Green but it's not by a large margin at all.

[Pelicans78]

James Harden is better than anyone NO has at shooting guard.

David West might be better than Jeff Green but it's not by a large margin at all.

West is way better than Green and its not even close. Even the 3-point percentage is the same even though Green jacks them up more.

Also, Marcus Thornton is putting up better numbers than Harden and he was a second round pick compared to Harden who was a top 5 pick.

[milkshakeballa]

Basically I was comparing how the Hornets are better at every other position besides SF.


LOL

What were the Hornets last year in the West? OKC is going get home fuckign court this year you IDIOT.

[Pelicans78]

Anyway, I was serious when I was congratulating OKC in getting a playoff spot. The Hornets are a .500 team without CP3 and OKC is clearly improving each game. Seriously, good luck in the playoffs and enjoy the ride.

Thornton has more opportunities cause he's on a crappier team. Also if Green jacks up more threes his % should be lower, your logic is retarded.

Durant would SHIT on your whole fucking team...including Paul....so shut your NO-KNOWLEDGE ass up punk

[redzero]

Harden is a beast. .394% of the time, his shots go in all the time.

[Pelicans78]

LOL

What were the Hornets last year in the West? OKC is going get home fuckign court this year you IDIOT.

They're not gonna get home court. LAL, Den, Dallas, and Utah are better than OKC and Phoenix is right behind them.

Besides, you can't handle the truth, that's why you have to resort to name calling.

DC > RW

[Pelicans78]

LOL and it doesnt matter


Durant would SHIT on your whole fucking team...including Paul....so shut your NO-KNOWLEDGE ass up punk

Durant couldn't even get a shot off against CP3 twice in the last minute when the Hornets punked them at OKC last month. He was too weak LOL. CP3 > Durant.

[dirk4mvp]

. Even the 3-point percentage is the same even though Green jacks them up more.



So what are you trying to say? If Green jacks up more, he's putting himself in place to lower his 3P%

[Pelicans78]

Thornton has more opportunities cause he's on a crappier team. Also if Green jacks up more threes his % should be lower, your logic is retarded.

He has more opportunities cause he's better. Harden 39% shooting explains it all.

[Pelicans78]

So what are you trying to say? If Green jacks up more, he's putting himself in place to lower his 3P%

Basically I'm saying D-West could probably be just as good from the 3-point line than Green if he wanted too, but he does everything else better than Green as well.

[redzero]

Durant couldn't even get a shot off against CP3 twice in the last minute when the Hornets punked them at OKC last month. He was too weak LOL. CP3 > Durant.

That was funny. Durant couldn't get a shot off against somebody who is a foot shorter than he is.

[dirk4mvp]

Basically I'm saying D-West could probably be just as good from the 3-point line than Green if he wanted too, but he does everything else better than Green as well.

Neither are much to brag about.

Then I'm saying you're a fuckin moron.

CP3 is probably benching twice as much as Durant.

[Pelicans78]

Then I'm saying you're a fuckin moron.

He's a better midrange shooter than Green. If he wanted to, he could expand his game to the 3-point line, but he doesn't. Green will never be as good as West. Not in college, not in the pros.

[milkshakeballa]

He has more opportunities cause he's better. Harden 39% shooting explains it all.

David West ain't jack shit without a PG creating half of his shots. When CP3 is out West is inconsistent and shitty.

LOL take a look at this thread....

[milkshakeballa]

david west ain't jack shit without a pg creating half of his shots. When cp3 is out west is inconsistent and shitty.

[redzero]

I am curious how getting fewer opportunities means that a player has to shoot below .400% on his shots.

[milkshakeballa]

You're a Lakers fan yet you're masturbating over a team in Oklahoma. LOL


Yep...what is your point?

[Thundaluva]

I am curious how getting fewer opportunities means that a player has to shoot below .400% on his shots.


As the 6th man, he has to play with bench players more often and therefore there's more focus on him.

[Pelicans78]

Yep...what is your point?

My point is I own you and I always will.

[Pelicans78]

Thornton has been the 6th man most of the season.

it gets kind of boring following hte Lakers all the team. We always win. Not much fun. Everyone knows who is winning the title this year.

Thats why I'm really on the OKC bandwagon. It let's me be a "normal" fan like you. I have RARELY experienced disappoint as a Lakers fan.

But trust me....its something you will NEVER know about brah!:toast

Not really. Harden is a better player. Better passer, better defender, slightly worse scorer.

Yeah, I'm sure GMs love fewer points per game on worse shooting and in more minutes.

Oh, so how good a player is depends on how high a pick they were? In that case,

Oden > Durant.

[Thundaluva]

Yeah, I'm sure GMs love fewer points per game on worse shooting and in more minutes.


NBA GM's like good defense, good passing, and players who haven't peaked their rookie year. Props to Thornton, he can make shots created by CP3. The Thunder actually try to develop their players and give Harden time on the court where he has to go create.

LOL. Thornton has been scoring without CP3 who's missed 18 games this season and Collison isn't anywhere near creating as good as CP3. Thornton can create on his own and was scoring pretty darn well against OKC two weeks ago before he left the game with a back injury.

[Pelicans78]

Funny Hornet fan acts like 9.9 points on 39.3% shooting is WAY worse than 10.8 points on 42.7% shooting.

It's not way worse, but the point is you said Harden is better than any SG the Hornets had which is not true.

[Thundaluva]

Oh, so playing worse is just a sign that they will play better?


No, being given the chance to develop rather than being given the role of playing off CP3 and never having opportunities to develop is a sign Harden will play better.

[Thundaluva]

Harden is a lockdown defender, good ball handler and a great passer. Thornton is a scorer. Harden is a complete player.

[Pelicans78]

No, being given the chance to develop rather than being given the role of playing off CP3 and never having opportunities to develop is a sign Harden will play better.

So Harden isn't playing off Durant or Westbrook?

Thornton has been playing well without CP3.

This is not about Thornton's stats being WAY better. You claimed that Harden is better than Thornton, when he isn't.

[Thundaluva]

So Harden isn't playing off Durant or Westbrook?


No, he hasn't. Brooks' intentionally designs his rotation so Harden is on the court when they're off.

Exactly. You have no way of combating the fact there's more to basketball than scoring. Harden has been known as a stud defender his entire life.

[Pelicans78]

No, he hasn't. Brooks' intentionally designs his rotation so Harden is on the court when they're off.

Again Thornton has been the 6th man most of the season and right now is the backup PG for Collison so obviously there will not be much development for him :rolleyes

[Pelicans78]

He didn't do much defending against Thornton in their last matchup.

But come on THunda...the only thing that matters is FG% and PPG....

You should know that bro!

New Orleans is a PG oriented offense. The SG in their offense is NEVER going to develop. Live with it.

He defended enough in college to be a 3rd overall pick, maybe Thornton should have defended more.

Thornton didn't fall because of his defense and you have no information regarding his defense. He basically fell because of his height.

Thornton didn't fall because of his defense and you have no information regarding his defense. He basically fell because of his height.

And because he does nothing other than score. Harden is a complete player, which is why he was 1st team all american his sophomore year in college.

[Pelicans78]

New Orleans is a PG oriented offense. The SG in their offense is NEVER going to develop. Live with it.

That's not true. Again, Thornton is playing PG at this time because of the injury to CP3. But I guess that won't help his development. :rolleyes

He has alot of freedom in the Hornets offense. Basically, he's been our first legit SG since the team came to New Orleans unless you want to count JR Smith's rookie season.

[Pelicans78]

Thornton also took a LSU team that was expected to be below average to win the SEC conference and take his team to the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament before losing to a stacked UNC team.

The SEC was a joke in basketball last year, James Harden took ASU to the 2nd round as well, something that hadn't been done at that school in a LONG time. Harden was voted one of the top 5 players in the country AS A SOPHOMORE. Thornton wasn't.

The Hornets' GM would trade Thornton for Harden in a second if it was proposed to him.
