McDonald: Spurs Notebook: Spurs' Bogans has stake in LeBron's status

[ElNono]

I can just see Spursfans will blame this loss to Cavs on Bogans because he could not stop Lebron

Don't count me as one of those. I pretty much expect Lebron, if he plays, to steamroll right over anybody we put on him. You could say I'm setting the bar so low that I'll be greatly impressed if we do anything resembling a decent job on him.

I went to a Spurs-Cavs game last year where Hairston guarded LeBron pretty well. Now, as for Bogans, he can't really guard anyone. This could suck if LBJ plays.

It looks like Mike Brown is going to rest LeBron, that would be nice.

Ok, you got me.

I'm not making it up. There was a point in November or December when Bogans was earning his minutes and people were happy with his play. Be contrary all you want, but this is true. What is also true is that I'm not going to compile a list of month-by-month stats just to satisfy Obstructed_View, who will disregard any positive stats anyway because he's already formed an opinion.

Allow yourself to bask in your own light of wisdom. Look at how superior you are because you like to call people out! All hail the mighty ....

If you really must know, then do the research yourself.

I looked at his game by game stats and was unable to find any trend of any sort where he looked like he deserved to be starting over Hairston, or any stretch of games where he's played particularly well. Obviously you couldn't either since you presented the link and didn't just point me toward this great rise in production and contribution that he made.

Please, by all means, continue to just create statements that you absolutely can't back up with any kind of statistic and present them as fact. Obviously there's a stretch at some point this season where some "people" were happy with his play. The fact that you're defending all the minutes he gets seems to indicate that you think he's done a good job at replacing Bruce Bowen, though there's not a single stat to back up your belief. You're in good company, though:
