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!!!

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
