The issue isn't that he can't put up games like this. It's that he has yet to do that on a consistent basis.

If he can do that, he's close to a max player. He matched Eric Bledsoe, a guy who just signed a max extension, bucket for bucket tonight. The Hornets are gambling that he can be that guy which is why they signed him to that extension. The more he improves, the better the value of that extension.

FG% please. ASS

Lol that's what makes the anti kemba crowd so hilarious. It's field goal percentage for you. It's assists for 49. It's not being myck kabongo for chuck. Sorry, the guy isn't Oscar Robertson.

It's almost as bad as the anti Cam crowd complaining that he's not as accurate as Manning or Brady.

Kemba walker is what he is. Inconsistent? Certainly. But alot better than he gets credit for. The fact that you can't give him his due when he plays well is why posters can't take you seriously. You're certainly entitled to your opinion. Just keep an open mind.

He needs to be more of a distributor while maintaining that net drive that makes him so dangerous. He's never going to be an elite shooter, but he can get the ball to the basket and get to the line. He just needs to be able to use that ability to find the players that get open when they collapse the box on him.

He shot the ball well.  But he didn't dish it well.  

 

Hornets scored 103.  Kemba had 4 assists.  The offensive ball movement still has to go through someone besides your point guard.  That's never good.

 

And FWIW, Kemba's guy beat Kemba.  Bledsoe was +6 on the game, Kemba -2.  

 

Even when the Kemba apologists think they have it, they don't.

If that's your argument then it's a horrible one.

Bledsoe played five more minutes than Kemba, so there is five extra minutes to get that + up.

I prefer to use my actual eyes to discern who was the better player.

It was Kemba driving one on one against Bledsoe hitting the reverse to seal the win for his team, not the other way around.

Chuck and 49 have probably watched maybe three games in the past year, so don't be shocked when they go stat-searching, at least in 49's case. If all he has to lean on is +/-, that shows you he's struggling to come up with anything of substance for an argument.

 

Which, coincidentally, has been his problem since he joined.

 

Chuck on the other hand, lol. And a big lol to SuperJ, who still hasn't seen an NBA game that didn't include LeBron. 

 

Nice game, Kemba. Not surprised he did well. I caught what I could of that one, went out to dinner at McCormick and Schmick's uptown.  :stuff:

Let's go and make a Kemba Prove Y'all Wrong thread every time he plays well. We'll have 15 threads throughout the 82 gms season to rub it in Chucks face. Yay!!!

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
