Kevin Love 2015-16 Shooting | Basketball-Reference.com

Kill that narrative about Kyrie being remotely responsible for Love's poor play

There's A LOT of narratives that have been killed about Kyrie's play - still doesn't stop dudes from peddling them out.

WRONG!

Then whats' your beef with Joe?
Dude's a good player. No star even tho he got paid like it. He didnt molest children. He's no arrogan mofo. He's no ball hug. So whats to hate, breh?
Or is hating just in your blood and you must have a target?

I don't hate JJ, I just think he's always been over-hyped as a player (unlike some of his stans) & not good enough at this point in his career to where he's going to help or get a team over the hump who's contending for a championship.

Joe Johnson has stans

WTF has gotten into Kemba Walker? It's like he drank a bottle of Steph Curry.


@42 Monks :curryumad:


Good thing MJ paid him before he had his career year.

How dishonest can you be?

i) I'm not a stan
ii) Nobody is acting like he's going to take a team over the hump for a title
iii) This has to do with you stating that Kevin Martin is a better player and can provide more value/impact for a team that's either on the verge of being a contender or is contending - THAT IS ALL.

You realized you fukked up by calling K-Mart the better player, now you just keep continuously moving the goal posts to cover up your mistake.

And thats the sad part about it. Got people who really think he's a cancer/low impact player or something

@42 Monks
Yea, he ain't foolin' nobody with being happy for Kemba. That nikkas soul still burns like Soul Calibur when he has a good game.

 

[ryderldb]

Basically that he doesn't understand why he isn't playing more and how Karl hasn't told him anything. Then the reporters told him about Karl saying he didn't play much due to mach ups and WCS replied that excuse is flimsy. That he can guard positions 1-5 and that's the reason he's on the court in the first place so that excuse about matchups is real weak.

He was complaining about the lack of defensive sets in the fourth quarter and he said that it was all on "the coach"

Wow. A rookie calling out the coach like that is crazy.

Would take Kevin Martin over Joe Johnson any day. Martin is just as good or better than Johnson, plus he's younger as well. Plus Martin's stats are pretty similar to Johnson's except that Martin plays 12.5 minutes less per game (21.4 minutes per game avg) than Johnson (33.9 minutes per game avg)

The Coli can check the receipts for themselves based on my posts loser to see who's actually being truthful. And IMO Martin is a much better player in regards to helping a championship caliber team than Johnson which is why San Antonio signed Martin because he can under the right circumstances be valuable, especially if healthy.


You're just all in your emotions like a little bytch because even though you've been for Joe Johnson trying to prove me wrong, that so far you look like a fool.

Gil Scott-Heroin negged you for your post in the thread Random NBA Observations 2016. With the following comment:

All in your feelings because I'm ripping your shytty analysis to shreds!

Holla back when Joe Johnson & Miami aren't playing & winning against .500 teams & when Johnson is actually putting up decent numbers while helping Miami win games against top tier or quality caliber teams, particularly in the playoffs where it counts.

Please find me Joe Johnson hype.
Please. I'll wait.
Even Hawks fans when he was their best player never hyped dude up and if anything just sh!tted on him

So yeah.. .let me know when you find said hype

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

The Coli can check the receipts for themselves based on my posts loser to see who's actually being truthful.

Well we know it's clearly not you. You've been trying to shift the argument every step of the way.

And IMO Martin is a much better player in regards to helping a championship caliber team than Johnson which is why San Antonio signed Martin because he can under the right circumstances be valuable, especially if healthy.

These are two different things. First of all, yes Martin can be valuable under the right circumstances, but then so can most players. The problem is this - Martin ONLY provides spot-up shooting and virtually nothing else. Whereas not does Johnson provide spot-up shooting (he's actually shooting better from behind the arc this season), he can be used as a playmaker/help run the offense, he can be used as an option on the low block, can be used to create his own shot (especially down the stretch), be used in different types of lineups, can play competent defense - mostly versatility of being able to guard different positions. There's so many things he offers that Martin doesn't.

And I mean you'd have an argument if K-Mart's shooting actually provided more impact than what Johnson did collectively, but Johnson is shooting BETTER than him this season. The only job that K-Mart has, even Johnson is better than him at it:

Johnson - 38% 3-pt shooting on 3.9 attempts
K-Mart - 37% 3-pt shooting on 2.6 attempts

How can K-Mart be possibly better at this stage of his career when he doesn't even do his ONE job better than Johnson?

You're just all in your emotions like a little bytch because even though you've been for Joe Johnson trying to prove me wrong, that so far you look like a fool.

The only one that's been looking like a fool is you. Nobody in their right mind would call Martin a better player. It's just simply not reflective of reality. Why do you constantly overlook all the other things Johnson does on the court to help teams? Why do you only bring up scoring?

Holla back when Joe Johnson & Miami aren't playing & winning against .500 teams & when Johnson is actually putting up decent numbers while helping Miami win games against top tier or quality caliber teams, particularly in the playoffs where it counts.

Holla back when Kevin Martin is actually getting game time.

This is what it comes down to. Now stop talking about when is Johnson going to help beat top tier teams - when Martin can't even get on the court.

You don't know what the hell you're talking about.
The fact that Atlanta paid Johnson a 6 year $123.7 million contract & gave up 2 future 1st round draft picks for his services shows he was clearly over-hyped as a player.
