Do you even watch the games to be laughing like that, or is it like with the Valdes thing where every re ed fan thinks he sucks so you go with that opinion?

Diaw is not nor will he ever be a better post up player than Tim Duncan.
Some people are dumb as tbh.
lol acting like Timmy is still a dominant post player
lol acting like Diaw is LeBron James
Can you or mono point out which part of my description of Diaw is not accurate? None of it is disputable. If we are strictly talking about versatility his game is similar to LeBron in that sense, LeBron just happens to do some of those things at a much higher level.
rofl "elite playmaker"
For a guy who is so incredibly badass you'd think he could do better than 9/4/3 for the Spurs
The part where you make him sound like LeBron....
Just hit the Eastside of the LBC
on a mission trying to find Mr. Boris D.
Seen a car full of trolls so i had to speak
All these re s thinkin Diaw owns David Lee
Hey maybe the trolls and emoticons will turn the tide since yalls attempts at legit arguments arent working. Worth a try I suppose.

Here's something I bet you didn't know. While I was putting this video together and watching the absurdist's stellar post game, I started to wonder where Diaw ranked in terms of work in the post, so I looked it up. It turns out that Boris is leading the league in points-per-possession on post-up attempts at 1.18 (according to Synergy) which account for 16.6% of his offensive shots.
When I watch Bobo go to work in the post, with all of those spin-moves, pivots, fakes, up-and-unders, bankers, finger-rolls, floaters, and even those rare Dirkish fade-aways I get the feeling that he is highly effective. The numbers back up my gut, and I'm pretty sure that Pop should go to Diaw in the post more. Well, not too much more, but it's clear that the Spurs should continue to let him work down low - especially when he has non-starters tasked with stopping the man with as much junk in his game, awkward as it may be, as just about anyone in the league.
I think I'm attracted to the absurdity of watching this man who is a little too heavy to be a true anything, a few inches too short to be an elite post-defender, and seems to handle the ball much like me when I play basketball (or at least in my imagination.) I've always enjoyed absurdity, from The Far Side in my youth (and now), The Tick in my less-youthful youth, to living life in a world that, to my delight, is getting more absurd by the minute. The thing is, is that I wouldn't change a single thing about our slightly-rotund Frenchman.
...
but but DAF86 and FkLA are just ridiculous homers
diaw is great in post ups obviously, but you can't really compare two players that play alongside and say who is better, when they obviously are matched up differently. Anyone knows who timmy is and none is allowing him to get the ball deep in the post, with Diaw it's almost like a regular season belinelli effect, that is you know that he can knock it consistently if open, but you don't really guard him or prepare your gameplan for him until he actually starts knocking them.
You're doing UTSA no favors, that's for sure. We shouldn't have to explain why it's funny. A friend of mine was the first one out of UTSA to pass his licensing exam in the history of the EE degree, there. I actually met him on a bulletin board that I ran in the mid-80's, on a 300 baud modem. (You have missing punctuation in a short sentence.) He is/was a creative and impeccable writer, including short stories - Douglas Adams-ish. He never ended a post with: "I am busy engineering." He currently works, and has worked since graduating for a big place doing important things.Hahahahah
I get it it's funny bc UTSA can't produce engineers, right?
I asked him why, one day, that it was that he didn't end posts that way. He said, simply: "I don't want to sound like a ."
On this board Agloco (Maybe? Did I get the name right?) is a physicist working in oncology, Phyzik seems also well educated in the sciences, I've a degree in a hard science, and many others. Yet, strangely, you usually don't see anyone ending sentences with "I'm busy oncologying."
I am a loser with women and with making money.
Other areas I am all right. I am not a bad looking guy and am athletic so it wasn't like I was some strange nerd who was only into books.
I never had any dates in high school or even college. Just didn't feel like I had anything to offer or that a girl would even be interested. I didn't even touch a girl until I was 28, didn't have a relationship until 38 and married a woman I was not even attracted to at 48 (because I thought I would never get married with my track record). I really feel sorry for my wife.
I thought getting a college degree in engineering would help me land a good paying job, it never did. I am working a low paying job similar to what I worked before I got the degree. UTSA in San Antonio does not have a good engineering program at least when I went to school there. I came out ill prepared to do well in the field.
I lifted weights for over 30 years and I would say that it didn't help much with getting girls interested or building confidence. I could never get the girls I was really attracted to(blue eyed brunettes), they never seemed to be available and the one girl that I thought I had a shot at in college I just would get really nervous the times I tried to talk to her so I felt I had no shot in with her and never even tried asking her on a date. This I regret because I never met another girl the way I felt for this particular girl.
So I am saying to the young readers out there if there is a girl you want go for it because the ship may sail away and you will be left with a life of regret.
This thread is also for all the losers to say you are not alone, there are other people who have experiences like you. Don't be afraid to stand up and call yourself a loser, don't care what others think, and try to make the necessary changes and I hope you have better luck than I did.
not sure why I'm responding to the Diaw>Duncan in the post comment, but as soon as Fisher somehow got switched on Duncan, everybody on SA was bent on getting it to him in the post. As soon as Duncan got it he had it right in front of the rim and Fisher just hacked him crofl. that sequence should tell you enough
Boris is good at posting up small defenders (benefitting from mismatches and switches that he gets because of the Spurs system) and now he's a better post up player than Timmy. Good god I hope you're ing kidding.
If it's any consolation, Diaw does fit here, perfectly. That post sums him up well, and supports your argument.http://www.poundingtherock.com/video...ts-best-career
Whatever. If Fish keeps getting switched on Diaw and Brooks doesn't sub him out and go with a bigger lineup, then Brooks is ok with it.
Excellent effort though on your part to try to go off point.
Smh utsa
did you ignore this part of the piece you quoted or did you not understand it?:http://www.poundingtherock.com/video...ts-best-career
you two are idiots.....I'm pretty sure that Pop should go to Diaw in the post more. Well, not too much more, but it's clear that the Spurs should continue to let him work down low - especially when he has non-starters tasked with stopping.......
smh utsa
I knew the numbers would back it up, but leading the league? Damn.http://www.poundingtherock.com/video...ts-best-career

Did you ignore this piece FkLA wrote or did you not understand it?
