Spurs: Boris Diaw vs. David Lee

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Poll coming. Vote on who you think is the better basketball player.

I'm making it public so I can easily identify a list of all the dumb s who pick Boris Diaw.

[ginobili's bald spot]

Add the quotes from the other thread for further embarrassment imo.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

That "Spursfanfromafar" dumb was even worse , he's the reason I brought up Diaw vs. Lee in the serious discussion thread

A motivated Boris Diaw is better than David Lee tbh.

Honestly despite his fatassness Id take the post-buyout Diaw over Lee.

Dont see how its laughable tbh. Its not like Lee is worth a , even if you consider him better than Diaw theres really no reason why you should think the difference between the two is huge.

stats

Ill give you the fact that Lee has more motivation and a better ability to put up numbers on lottery teams. He wouldnt be more than 4th-5th best player on a top team though just like Diaw, and in that role Id take Boris tbh.

Dude. Pop will never want Lee. Aside from mid range shooting and good rebounding, David Lee is a liability. Very poor defender. Boris Diaw is way better than him.

Nonsense.

Basketballvalue says that the Warriors give up 5 points more when they play David Lee on the floor.. (over scrubs or newbies such as Ekpe Udoh, Chris Wright, Gladness, etc).. And this is a bad defensive team that gets worse.

Why would a Spurs team that needs their big to play atleast above average defense want David Lee?

Boris Diaw as long as he has played for the Spurs, even in limited minutes ..(and he is a starter now) has improved the Spurs defense replacing Blair. He is the best passing big in the team and he is on a minimum contract.

Why the eff would anyone want Lee on the Spurs with a contract that pays him $14 million (more than Manu, Parker, and Jackson?)

I follow the NBA from afar, but I watch games and know enough to distinguish a good big from a defensively challenged one.

You? A bad mouthing racist idiot who doesn't know a thing, apparently.

Boris Diaw is really good.

[ginobili's bald spot]

Boris Diaw is really good.

Is this real life?

[Bill_Brasky]

I pick Diaw

[jeebus]

Is this real life?

Yup.. and I am sure you don't watch basketball, do you?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

This thread is serious discussion only. Thx in advance.

[ginobili's bald spot]

This is good. All we have to do is link to this thread the next time people start crying about lack of "serious basketball discussion". I can't imagine why San Antonio makes those "dumbest cities" lists.

[jeebus]

20/10 machine who gives up 5 more points than a combination of Gladness, Moore, Jenkins, Udoh (since departed)

versus

A High IQ player who is not as fat as he was with the Bobcats..and is a hardworking defensive player as compared to Bonner/ Blair..

I take the latter. And glad that you acknowledge that you are an idiot who doesn't watch games. Do that and we will talk.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Yup. I'm trying to make a thread for serious basketball discussion and Spurs fans are incapable of contributing.

I guess when they complain about the lack of serious basketball discussion, it's because they're incapable of it so they need fans of other teams to provide it for them.

[Calispursfan11]

Diaw is a fatass with skill and Richard Jefferson rode Lee like a donkey one time. So I pick Diaw.

Thanks for that serious contribution of meaningful basketball discussion.

I don't ever ever want to see spurfan calling someone from another team a stupid homer after reading this.







Ever.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I'm pretty sure jeebus is kidding around, but the other greys who voted probably aren't.

What can definitely be derived from this thread is Spurs fans are incapable of serious discussion.

[Venti Quattro]

crofl OF COURSE it's Boris Diaw!

[8FOR!3]

Lee's a better scorer and better rebounder. I'll take an efficient scorer, average rebounder, solid defender, and good passer any day over David Lee though. Give me Boris Diaw. At the same time, it does depend on what kind of team you're talking about. David Lee would bring more to Charlotte or New Orleans than Diaw would. But Diaw's got much more to offer to playoff contenders.

It's not homerism. It's the truth. Lee is not a better basketball player. He may be more physically gifted, but the French fatass is much smarter and also much more of an all - around threat. He needs Jenny Craig badly though.

true. That thread did have a lot of good, quotable sources. Unfortunately, dok took most of the best ones; there are still some gems though. Uninformed spurfan is always good for a laugh.

I'd take Lee. At least he's motivated to not turn into a lardass on a subpar team

efficient scorer and average rebounder? Diaw usually has somewhere between 4-6 points a game and 4-6 rebounds a game, it doesn't matter how efficient his scoring is, he's not a "scorer" at all and is a below average rebounder.

[Bill_Brasky]

When choosing between the two players, one should also consider that David Lee is on a 6 yr/80 mil contract, while Diaw just signed a 2yr/9mil deal.

The poll is asking who the better player is, not who the better bang for your buck is. Their salaries are a non-factor in this discussion.

I figured it was only a matter of time before Spurfan would change lanes to, "But Lee is paid a lot more!"

It's something I take into consideration because it's actually based in reality. Duh, David Lee is better, but got damn that dude is overpaid.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Duh, David Lee is better

Spurs fans who want serious discussion seem to think differently.

I agree he's overpaid, but that's irrelevant to this thread.
