lol.. Davis sucks.. Pelicans win more with him out

[Ratzz]

one-on-one, he is a MONSTER...

can do it all EXCEPT shoot 3's

incredible, unique specimen... but this is a 5 man game.
just dominates too much. Game becomes "Davis-on-5"

his presence takes ball away from everybody else, nobody gets going.
Pelican winning percentage with him out is over .650 i think

they are sub-.500 with him in there eating up all the stats.

Stats will show that he is a monster.

but the ONLY REAL stat is in the "W" column. Period.

[Ratzz]

Davis has GAME OF THE YEAR (stat-wise)

but they LOST AT HOME TO DENVER...!!

a team without their BIG-MAN... he's in Cleveland, playing for LeBron!

[CDUBB_CW]

I remember a few weeks ago they killed this same Nuggets team without him.

[Kaboomba]

Its amazing how irrational and ignorant people are on this forum...

[Ratzz]

yep. beat Nuggets by 7
IN DENVER. 5 GUYS IN DOUBLE-FIGURES


TONIGHT: went 2OT. and ONLY FOUR guys were in DOUBLE-FIGURES.

THAT'S NOT GOOD.

so, game extended 10 minutes.. and 20% LESS PLAYERS in Double-Figures.

that's why DAVIS is great, but you don't want him on your team.

[CrimsonTideFan]

[Rich Boy]

Davis is young. I would take him on my team any day

[upscope]

this is not gonna end good for rat boy

[Bigglefairy]

Nuggets coach got fired after last meeting, new coach not going to want the same result. Bit of a statement here from the nuggets. My prediction, Pelicans roll next game vs Milwaukee. Silence the haters

[Ratzz]

this is not gonna end good for rat boy

lol.. i think you mean 'Kobe"

"things are not going to end well for Kobe"

[freeeze]

You clueless fukker.

Davis, without question a top 5 player, is 24th in usage rate in the league and Tyreke Evans actually has a higher usage rate than him. Yes, that means he uses less possessions per game than fukkin Tyreke Evans. So get the fukk outta here with your Davis on 5 ball theories. Dude is the only reason this team is still in the race for the playoffs in this stacked Western conference, take him out of the roster and they finish in the bottom 3 of the conference.

And, next time you say one of the very best nba players sucks, at least try to get your stats right, Pels are 30-24 with him and 6-6 without him.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Seriously has anyone ever accused Rat of knowing his shit? Didn't think so lol! Guy uses a very biased mindset to twist things on some issues and in others like with Davis here a very small sample size, on a very young player trying to lead a not so talented roster.

[Seto]

At least he's going to have a winning season in his 3rd year at age 22.

Kevin Love couldn't even do that in 6 years. lol. Where were the similar threads bashing him in the last few years?

If Davis doesn't make the playoffs in the next 3 years then he will start getting the loser tag, sure. Until then...

Exactly. It's easy just to remember this recent 5-game win streak when they're 1-6 in other games without him. That's like people saying the Bulls are better without Rose whenever they've gone on mini-runs without him. Bottom line is this Pelicans team would suck without Davis.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Bottom line every team in nba who wants to be a contender needs at least 2 alpha dog/elite players. Nola has 1 so far in the making. Irony of this thread is it's completely contradictory to guys like his main whipping boy Kobe. One of the biggest ball stoppers and selfish players on/off floor in league history but has a handful of hardware!

This thread is very un-Ratzz like. Since when are stats meaningless to him?

[R.P. McMurphy]

Yeah I agree he lives by stats but doesn't seem to understand the gm or intangibles that well. My fave was his attempt to bash Kobe when Bron was about to pass him in assists. 2 totally different players with different styles but it was all about a #3 spot having more assists than a #2 for him lol. Guess he never heard of a skinny freak nicknamed the worm who played #4. Guy played in era with many of the greatest 7 ft #5's in history but still rebounded or outrebounded most the time with best of them.

Yeah, teams are usually fine in the first few games without a star player and people love to overreact to this. I love how at one point during the Westbrook triple-double madness guys started to claim OKC will be better off without KD. Ridiculous.

That's actually what I like about Davis, he's genuinely unselfish and humble on the court and has to put up with a terrible coach, but none of this stops him from completely dominating the game as a 22 year old.

I'm afraid I must disagree with you here Ratzz....I think Davis is an exceptional talent who has developed slightly quicker than I thought he would being a One and Done college player....Now granted, loosing that game with a stat line like that is rather Kobe-esque and not a good look but do remember, Anderson was out...and the Nuggets are playing hard to spite ousted Brian Shaw in order to prove a point...Davis I believe will take them as far as they can go given the conference they are in...its been a pretty solid season thus far...given the circumstances...

Menses is right.

i will have to back off this thread.

M. is a sensible guy.. i do think that game flows through him too much, but he certainly does not suck.

LOL....We have disagreed plenty over the course of a season...you would know that if you could pull your head out of your ass every once in a while...it is only when it comes to Kobe are we almost identical...Ratzz was simply premature in his estimation of davis ability...considering its only his 3rd season...a season that would have assuredly garnered him an MVP if he were on a contending championship level team...
