Current Players Draft First Round: Howard vs. Hack

Who would win in a 7-game series?

  • Total voters
    28
  • Poll closed .
Hack wants to play Spurs type ball with Irving and Martin. Irving averaged like 3 apg in the playoffs, and you think he can fit in that system? Lmao. It wouldn't work. Davis has nobody to get him the damn ball!
 
Like I said Middelton had good stats defensively this year but people dont watch him play on here. Dude gets blown by at will by players. He is has the slowest first step of any wing in the NBA and looks like he has a 4 inch vertical.
 
Going by stats I dont see how you say Ibaka is as good as Favors. Only stat Ibaka is better at is blocked shots but I think Favors defended the rim better based on shooting percentage against him at the rim.
 
No one on Hack's team has really led their team to any great deal of success individually besides Anthony Davis.

Once again, you're wrong. Ibaka was at 40.8%, 2nd in the nba to Gobert. He also saved 1.76 points a game compared to 0.40 by Favors. https://nyloncalculus.com/2015/07/29/every-little-bit-helps-rim-protection-from-all-angles/ link for proof. Ibaka is an elite defender.

You don't allow opposing players to shoot 39% against you by being a bad defender. Hell, it's not even a team defensive stat! The numbers don't lie man.

Okay, he is better rim defender. But Favors was the 6th best in that stat in the NBA, so not that far off.

Favors is a much better offensive player. Scores more and is much more efficient, rebounds better and passes better. If you think he is much better, great. Stats say Favors is better at a lot of things. Enough that I think he is better or at least as good.
 
Davis and Favors is probably the best starting front court duo this competition has ever seen. Both elite defensively. Both athletic. Both no non-sense team players. Favors better low post scorer and Davis the stretch guy. Perfect combination IMO.

Stats say he plays on a good defensive team with a good team defense.

You watch him play this season? or just read the stats? Why did he get benched for defense if he is so good at it?

Who lead on the other side? Westbrook missed the playoffs without Durant and is second fiddle to him. Bosh rode coattails.

Westbrook is 2nd fiddle because Durant is one of the best. But yeah, the guy who put up 30/10/9 without Durant can't lead a team. And yes, Bosh rode coattails, does that make him less of a player? He's still really good.

They are good but they have not lead teams anywhere but neither has the other. Yes Westbrook played great but ultimately his team that he lead without Durant got him into the lottery.
