IF KUZMA IS BETTER WITOUT LEBRON OR NOT


SURE LOOKED LIKE IT WHEN BRADLEY BEAL WENT DOWN N WIZARDS BEAT INDIANA BEHIND HIS LEAD:



LOTS OF SEASON TO GO


Oh, thought you meant time will tell if he’s on Tatums level :shaq2: he not even close.

He’s better without Lebron tho.

Kuzma won that game but he’s getting way too much credit for the Wiz hot early start. Trez really been playing the best and their defense (Wes Jr’s coaching ) deserves most of it too.

And Kuzma is only a cog in the wheel. Stop pretending like you'd give a damn about his play if he wasn't on the Wizards.

:unimpressed:

SMH CLEARLY DIDNT WATCH THE GAME LAST NIGHT

KUZMA IS LITERALLY THE SECOND OPTION BEHIND BEAL AND PUTTING UP A CAREER HIGH IN 3 POINT EFFICIENCY

THIS MIGHT END UP BEING RANDLE VS JABARI LEVELS OF EMBARRASSING FOR U IF U DONT LET UP SOON

How the fukk are you going to accuse me of not watching the game and then say some dumb shyt like he's the second option?

:picard:

You know, if you just came out and admitted you're a troll who's not really interested in any honest discussion, perhaps there could be a lane for you to joke around, but the fact you're deadly serious with the bullshyt you post is the reason why nobody is ever going to want to listen to what you say.

HE LITERALLY AVERAGES THE SECOND MOST FIELD GOAL ATTEMPTS ON THE TEAM

U ALSO SAID HES HAVIN THE LEAST EFFICIENT SEASON OF HIS CAREER, WHICH IS A FLAT OUT LIE.. IN FACT, IF WE REMOVE THE 1/10 GAME WHERE HE WAS PLAYIN HURT, HES HAVIN THE MOST EFFICIENT SEASON OF HIS CAREER

IF “NOBODY” LISTENS TO WHAT I SAY WHY DO I ALWAYS GET DAPPED WHEN I CLOWN ON U?

All I'ma say is I had money on that game last night, so I watched the entire thing and there's no way they win without Kuzma.

How many clutch 3's did he hit? Whew.

I'm from STL so I can't hate on Tatum and refuse to say Kuz is on his level though :unimpressed:

HE LITERALLY AVERAGES THE SECOND MOST FIELD GOALS ON THE TEAM
Well, first of all, he and Dinwiddie are tied for the second-most field goals on the team - he's not averaging the second-most, by himself. Given that Dinwiddie's minutes are still being managed, he's averaging more when they're both on the floor together. And field goal attempts is an oversimplification of how the options are ranked, particularly since it doesn't take into account free-throw attempts.

Take for instance:

Trez: 18.4 points on 10 FG attempts and 6.3 FT attempts; 48 touches per game.
Kuzma: 14.8 points on 13 FG attempts and 2.1 FT attempts; 46 touches per game.

While Kuzma is averaging more FG attempts, they both actually have relatively the same amount of scoring possessions when taking into account FT, but where Trez has the advantage over Kuzma is, he's the go-to frontcourt option, whereas Kuzma has to compete with perimeter touches with Beal and Dinwiddie. Furthermore, Dinwiddie runs the offense, handles the ball the most, and he typically is second to Beal in closing. There maybe instances where Kuzma has the hot hand and is fed the ball (like against the Cavs), but that's not a reflection of his standing in the offense.
U ALSO SAID HES HAVIN THE LEAST EFFICIENT SEASON OF HIS CAREER, WHICH IS A FLAT OUT LIE.. IN FACT, IF WE REMOVE THE 1/10 GAME WHERE HE WAS PLAYIN HURT, HES HAVIN THE MOST EFFICIENT SEASON OF HIS CAREER
He has a 53 TS% (which takes into account all his field goal attempts, both twos and threes, and also FT), which is identical to his TS% he had in 2019/20 (which was/is the lowest of his career). If you want to be pedantic, he's having equally the most inefficient season of his career. And no, you can't just remove a game just because he shot badly in it. You can't just remove roughly 10% of the sample size.

This is your problem, you manipulate shyt to make your arguments, just as your whole agenda here is to protect Kobe. And don't play dumb by getting me to spell it out to you.

I DONT HAVE AN “AGENDA” .. MY POINT HERE IS TO KEEP IT REAL.

U CALLED KUZMA A COG IN A WHEEL.. THAT HE IS CLEARLY NOT .. WE NOT GUNA ARGUE SEMANTICS, HE’S CLEARLY AN ALPHA DOG ON THE TEAM.

U USE A GAME IN WHICH HE WAS PLAYING HURT AGAINST HIM.. THAT GAME WOULD BRING DOWN THE OVERALL PERCENTAGES FAR LESS OVER 82 GAMES AS OPPOSED TO 10 GAMES.

ANYBODY WIT HALF A BRAIN CAN WATCH THE WIZARDS N TELL U HE IS PLAYING FAR BETTER THIS YEAR THAN HE DID THE LAST COUPLE SEASONS.. IF U GUNA ARGUE SEMANTICS JUST TO TRY N SIDESTEP FACTS, THEN WE WASTIN TIME.
