Kemba Walker is quietly putting up the same stats as kyrie irving

[010101]

i just fukk with ballin ass muthafukkas from the Bronx.
i aint no goddamn accountant.

that's it that's all*

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

see how it works is you watch the game
and you see oh shyt kemba really be cooking nikkas same way kyrie does
yeah op approached it from the angle of stats

but you know i don't give a fukk bout that
kemba is slept on he got all the swagg out there
he can dance toe2toe with kyrie and go move for move

big facts

*

And I was simply explaining why it was wrong to approach it from the angle of those stats. Go figure. You call me a "nerd/dweeb" for using those stats, when all I was doing was simply showing why you shouldn't use those stats, while you were cosigning a post which was using those stats - you clowned yourself multiple times in this thread and you aren't even aware of it.

Its the truth

what's crazy is how batum comes back and they're trying to let him run a lot of the offense like he's some passing wizard at the 2 when in reality he's a PF at this stage of his career. dude's fall off has been faster than rashard lewis'

this dude @Gil Scott-Heroin talking about stats and shyt when he knows damn well the hornets literally have no offense without him and the numbers reflect exactly that even with dwight balling its a one man show here

You clearly know you're in the wrong here. Stop bullshytting.

I suggest you go back and read my argument properly before spewing this straw man nonsense. I wasn't arguing against the notion that the Hornets need Kemba's contributions on offense, I was arguing against using the box score to compare his play with Kyrie. You can not compare the two when one averages more minutes and controls the ball for A LOT longer than the other does, never mind the fact that the box score is a weak scale to compare players in the first place.

"wrong approach to the angle of the stats" sounds like some

shyt if i ever heard it too

especially in context to the whole fukking point of the thread nobody even said he was better yet but here we go wh

And just to point out, Kemba's averaging nearly four more minutes, and has the ball in his hands for longer - 8.2 minutes per game, whereas Kyrie only controls it for 5.6 minutes per game.

On an equal minute (per 36) base:

Kyrie - 27.1 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 5.5 APG, 1.6 SPG, 60 TS%
Kemba - 22.9 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 6.2 APG, 0.8 SPG, 57 TS%

And this is before we take into account that Kemba has the ball in his hands 31% more too + the difference in systems they play in.

who the fukk else on this team can even dribble?

Off-topic but this is still the most beautiful game winning buzzer beater I have ever seen

Stamped his lottery pick selection at that moment

There is no 'need' Kemba, there's only Kemba and that's literally it. Its beyond need. Its the only thing working offense that exists on this team and its been that way for two years.

You can't even use strawman right

and you can skip the whole 'but but but but its beyond the box score' when the question of the thread is literally "Kemba is quietly putting up the same stats as Kyrie" - so skip the prepackaged arguments aimed at talking over people

Trade him and blow it up

I can’t really tell if you’re serious or not

 

[Bilz]

Kyrie gets more hype because of the leaving Cleveland storyline, Boston being a larger market with former players in the media, and overall team record.

Kyrie got more hype even on the LeBron-less Cavs. He's a more celebrated and stanned player.

Kemba is good though , they should give him the "most underrated pg in the league" title that Conley has had for like a decade now.

How is it not? If @WMG the 2nd wanted to bring light to Kemba's play, why bring up his box score stats and compare them with another player who doesn't play the same amount of minutes, nor has the ball in his hands for a similar amount of time? Why not just make it about Kemba not getting any love and leaving the box score comparison shyt out of it? Why couldn't he just make it about Kemba and the role he plays for the Hornets, and keep it to that?

especially in context to the whole fukking point of the thread nobody even said he was better yet but here we go wh

All I'm saying is, one shouldn't be comparing their respective box score lines.

who the fukk else on this team can even dribble?

Oh, look, another straw man.

Oh, look, another straw man.

if you bring up usage, and i clarify as to why that usage exists, then how is that a straw man? oh because you run in circles online for a living this year

like boston's offense ever hits skid marks the way ours does. because of boston's movement, they'll never put kyrie or IT in a position where he's facing the full brunt of a team defense every night

you want to argue context, but at the same time don't want to argue context



in a thread where you hopped in trying to 2 cents it the fukk up in the first place complaining about lack of context

issa strawman who even says that shyt in real life lol

We've given the Bulls 2 of their 4 wins this season

both teams played hard

And again, another straw man. I'm NOT arguing against this. I'm arguing against using Kemba's box score and comparing it to Kyrie's as if it has any meaningful basis. There's a reason why my first post in here was "And another example of why we need to get rid of the box score.". This thread should've been made simply around Kemba's role on the team and how their success is built on the foundation of his play - not comparing his surface stats with another player.

That is my argument in this thread. My argument is NOT trying to contend any point of how important Kemba is to his team. I've already spoken about how good his play has been this season.

You can't even use strawman right

I suggest you go look up the definition of straw man, and come back to me.

and you can skip the whole 'but but but but its beyond the box score' when the question of the thread is literally "Kemba is quietly putting up the same stats as Kyrie" - so skip the prepackaged arguments aimed at talking over people

Now you're not even making any sense.

 

[GOAT]

Kemba Walker is quietly playing 3 more minutes a game than Kyrie. Kemba Walker is quietly shooting worse from everywhere on the floor than Kyrie. Kemba is quietly playing worse defense than Kyrie. Kemba is quietly leading a mediocre team for like the 7th year in a row.

fukk outta here.
