Okay? Still not telling me how that relates to what I had to say?
Missing shots comes with the territory of being aggressive. GL - the more you take the more you miss. Sometimes you need to put yourself in a position of taking shots, that your teammates would usually (or do) take as it puts the team in a better position of winning.

Yes however the point of the exercise is to get the ball in the basket. Therefore you can't tell me that him being aggressive and missing all those shots is somehow better than him being aggressive AND more efficient which he has done in the past.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
No, worse teams and offenses are in the East.


The Warriors are shooting 29% from three through the first two games, the Cavs had held teams in the East to......29% from 3 prior to the finals.

The East particularly the Hawks and Bulls weren't as bad as everyone thought.

It all depends on the situation.

I don't necessarily think that this applies to Bron as much, because he's usually the top scorer in every series and has had actual success with his style of play. This is why I went out of my way to use CP as an example, because it gives a clearer picture that you do have to end up taking more shots than you'd typically take, in order to put your team in the best position of winning.

It's not as simple as "nikkas really givin this dude props for missing shots :mindblown:".

Just like it isn't as simple as praising a player who scores 20 points on high efficiency, by saying they did their job and it's not their fault - it's up to the rest of team to pick up the slack - when the team gets blown out by double digits.

from top to bottom the east was as bad as everyone thought.

People on thought 4 teams were good.

But, with Kyrie and Love out the Cavs are a great defensive team

That's who we are discussing though :heh: and that is why I am so incredulous at this idea that this aggression he's showing is some sort of revelation or like he's somehow greater because he's taking AND missing a lot of shots.

All I pointed out is that it's more about praising his aggressiveness rather than "nikkas really givin this dude props for missing shots".

All I am pointing out, that you agreed with mind you, is that he's been aggressive before. This is nothing new, yet you got folks acting like he's reached some new level. The only difference is how many shots he's missing and his teammates stepping up. Dude would be getting killed if they had been blown out the last 2 two games. Not a fan of circumstance or narrative based analysis :yeshrug:.

You keep saying this while ignoring that hes never been THIS aggressive

Like @CHICAGO pointed out yesterday, dude is averaging 28 shots a night since the Bulls series started

I dont know why you're fighting this
