wth happened to raising the bar

FG% isn't an advanced stat that's extremely subjective when being calculated. If you just wanna stick to regular stats, Amare has Bosh killed, except for a very small rebounding difference.

Killed. If that is your argument, then you look even dumber because just basic stats prove the gap was close.

[DPG21920]

Thanks brah, but Amare really was always better. I might get your goat here and there but facts are facts, it's just hard for the casual observer to view things in a vaccuum when both players play in different situations. I don't fault you for not possessing the awesome cranial capacity that we do.

I should have known when you were going on about "People who understand, use and apply stats are dumb, while those like myself and PB who have no idea what they mean are clearly smart"

[DPG21920]

Amare has an advantage in all but 1 basic statistics. Even if the advantage is small, when he has an advantage in every single category, it'd be re ed to ever argue Bosh > Amare.

So you are admitting finally the gap is small.

[Roddy Beaubois]

What bait, tbh? I am really not sure what you are going on about. Are you talking about the fact I said PB is piggy backing an argument that is not his own?

lol playing dumb

Hey look I'm sorry you were too stupid to know that Bosh, someone who has played his entire career with the ball in his hands while being known as someone who is lazy, would suck off ball before you got to witness it first hand. Don't hold it against me for being smart enough to know that he would suck off ball.

Nothing to do with being "smart enough"..it was just a guess, pretty much, or a biased opinion based on your hatred of Bosh..the only accurate statement would have been that it would take time for Bosh to adjust, which is obvious..

Bosh hasn't been good as the #3 this year, but he's getting better, and there's plenty of time left in the season..there's always an adjustment period when a new role is implemented..

I honestly have no idea wtf you are talking about. The only time I mention DoK is when I say PB has no original argument.

[DPG21920]

The gap in FG% isn't small. Also, the fact Amare has averaged more PPG throughout his career while playing on better teams with better players speaks volumes about who is a more lethal offensive player, regardless of the fact it's only 1.5 more PPG.

So you are going a long route to saying they were close?

[DPG21920]

I'm going upstairs to watch my team hopefully best the Blazers of Portland. Excellent discussion back and forth though my Mav brothers who were birthed from other mothers. We have entertained those who observed in a classy and basketball discussion related way. For which, I commend all of us.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

true tbh. Both sides of this argument can take credit for raising the bar.

Thanks picklebarrel

[YoungB]

Comments like that deserve negative props.

tbh, it'd be better just to call me picklebreath. picklebreath is a better insult than picklebarrel. Having pickle breath means you're gay/love pickles, being a pickle barrel isn't really weird.

tbh, I wasn't even trying to insult you. I think you're a good poster, despite thinking you were a troll at first. I just read your name really fast and think pickle barrel. I'll just call you PB from now on.

It means you put pickles in your barrel tbh.

I was about to say. Changing picklebreath to picklebarrel might be the worst insult ST has ever seen. And that includes fabbs.

wtf? a bb discussion in the nba forum?
