Humphries

I'm gonna go ahead and bump this thread.

Blair has 11 and 10 tonight through just over 3 quarters, with a few blocks in the mix for good measure.

[Marcus Bryant]

Kris Humphries? You ing moron.

Humphries

[Manufan909]

I only saw the third block, which was nothing to brag about considering it was on a driving Kapono, but the two I missed were absolutely sick.

...i've been hearing what geniuses spurs management were for "stealing" blair in the second round. Furthermore all offseason the talk was of how great the spurs did.

...The level of excitement is what's hard to digest.

...I never said over-rated. I said over-hyped.

Okay, now I get it. You're jealous because the Spurs and their players get so much attention, and have such high expectations. Meanwhile, nobody outside of Dalass is going on about their high expectations for the Mavs this season. I think that's what's known as Empty Rafter Syndroms. And, yeah, I can see how that could be "hard to digest" for a Mavs fan.

How about starting another thread about a player who is both over-rated AND over-hyped? Say... Nitwitzki?

You were good until the last sentence. Dirk is an amazing player. If there's a guy that's overrated on that Mavs team, it's Terry.

[EmptyMan]

Have you homers even watched many Mavs games this year? Humphries is a legit athletic STRONG big man.

Him paired with TD on the defensive end would be a of a lot stouter than Blair/TD. Much love to Blair but facts are facts.

[Cry Havoc]

[Sisk]

28 points
21 rebounds

[Refocus]

Awww yeah!

Wow.

[EricB]

the same humpries that dallas unloaded for the carcas of Eddie Najera.

I don't remember where they were drafted but Houston has two rookies--Chase Budinger and David Anderson-- that are in the same neighborhood as Blair in PPG and one in avg. rebounds per game. And their per rating is pretty close.

I don't think either has had a 20/20 night, but they are going to be solid contributors.

There are several steals out there among the rookies this year.

What's their MPG?

Blair is averaging 7 and 6 in 15 minutes this year.

Obviously you can't extrapolate that over an entire game... or can you? 28 and 21 says maybe.

Either way, he's averaging 21 and 18 per 45 minutes. Pretty freaking amazing, and if he continues to improve he's a lock to be one of the top 3 rookies this year, if not RotY.

Btw, he's shooting 57.1%

I'm pretty sure EmptyMan was being sarcastic/making fun of the Mavs..

No way. He'll never win something like that against the likes of some of those rookies like jennings where they're the primary scoring option for the team.

[HarlemHeat37]

Tyreke Evans has it locked IMO..

Blair will make the all-rookie 1st team though, that would be a great accomplishment for a 2nd round pick..

[Cry Havoc]

Depends. If Blair has a few more 20-20 games (or even close), he'll at least be in the running. You're probably right though, the 1-2 position has been mostly decided.

[Agloco]

The hype is totally out of hand. The Mavs picked up a player with roughly the same numbers.

Neither one is going to be an NBA starter so who cares?

Rodrigue Beaubois on the other hand is going to be a big time player.

Talk about getting owned.......

Budinger was taken 44th last year
Andersen was taken 36th in 2002

Buddinger - 7.8 and 2.8 in 17.9 mpg
Andersen - 5.9 and 3.1 in 14.6 mpg

I guarantee that neither Andersen or Buddinger go off for 30 and 20 at any point in their careers (yeah it WAS a 30/20 game..... godamm refs.)

[Agloco]

Budinger was taken 44th last year
Andersen was taken 36th in 2002

He's an NBA rook.....
