0 DNP-Injury games

Then 0. But if he can play 60 games, score 15ppg, hit a jump shot/play defense every game or two, he'll marginally help the cavs. And the cavs are now better suited to trade irving, if the opportunity presents itself this year.

I don't disagree about Irving, but you probably didn't take your own advice, what with Westbrook at the top of your list. NBA.com has a FG% on drives, and Westbrook's was actually lower than Irving's.

Lebron and Durant are on a whole other level from the rest of the league in this category.

Stats work the way you want them. I forget which game it was in the last final but LBJ was taking it to the hole almost every time he touched the ball in the first half. The second half it was non-existent.

For such a great young player to build a team around and the best finisher in the game a trade should be a brainer. They can probably get a top ten player and two first round picks!!!

Finishing in crunch time is what matters the most.

Using an eff fg% on drives of players that have a significant number of drives a game (>7 or so), kyrie is top 10 each of the past 3 years. The players above him are:
1. LBJ
2. Rose
3. Derozan
4. Liliard
5. Cousins (I'm fine considering him a good finisher, of all of the big men)

His FT% helps him in these statistics despite his drives or fg% not being as high as some of the players on this list.

so now you went from best finisher to top 10. There you go as I said I don't have the numbers, but I'm sure the numbers would prove he wasn't the best

What did I tell you about Rose?

Anyone have the latest line on Rose staying healthy for the entire 17-18 season?

even if he's healthy he doesn't complement lebron so they really can't have him in the court in crunch time. He basically will be running the team when lebron sits

Lol. You're the only one having that discussion - the proverbial old man yelling at the clouds. Aside from the fact that clutchness is largely a myth - should I have saved that for Friday?

So LBJ runs the team when he is on the floor? Is he a PG?

Many claimed what a great finisher he is. I am trying to figure out what they are talking about. The only thing I got so far is he can change hands.
