  I've never heard that, lol indeed.

  Joakim Noah had a triple double tonight, not bad for a 5 to have 10 assists.
  
  I would have bet you $100 in that champ game 2007 that Oden would have a better NBA career than Noah, and I would have been wrong. Crazy how things work.

  only because of injuries.

  To an extend, but Jo has become a very good starting center in this league which I was skeptical of when we drafted him.
  
  Unfortunately, we may never know how good GO could have really been.

  Lets not start this debate again.

  Lol, I'm not debating anything. Just as an OSU/Bulls fan rooting for Jo has always been weird.

  Yeah I can see that, you should just come home and switch to a Cavs fan. Problem solved.
• Laley23

  

  Not to get into the debate. But sticking with the theme.
  
  Noah is WAYYYYY better than I thought he would be. Kudos to him for really working on his game.
  
  Horford didnt really expand on his perceived value. But he has lived up to it. So neither was a bust, which is very shocking to me.

  How about Rondo replacing Joe Johnson? I thought after throwing the ball at that ref, Stern would go with J Smith.
• hoops23

  

  Shoulda been Josh Smith. I would have taken Irving over Rondo too
• Laley23

  

  Josh Smith is the guy who deserved it, over both of them imo, anyway.
• Commander of Awesome

  

  I would have picked Josh Smith to begin with over Paul Pierce.

  Its obvious Josh Smith isn't well liked around the league, and probably for good reasons. But he's having a nice year.

  Irving over Rondo? O.o
  
  But yeah Id agree Smith has earned it

  Irving
  
  18.6 PPG|3.5 RPG|5 APG| 48% FG 44% 3PT 86% FT
  
  Rondo
  
  14.8 PPG|4.9 RPG|9.5 APG| 48% FG 25% 3PT 61% FT
  
  Rondo plays 7 more minutes a game than Kyrie, isn't the main defenses focus and was just suspended by the league for throwing a ball at a ref..
  
  So yes, I'd take Irving over Rondo.
  
  Also, "Irving entered Wednesday's game averaging 6.2 points in fourth quarters -- the fifth-best total among NBA players with a minimum of 20 games. He's also shooting 51.1 percent from the floor and 52.9 percent from behind the 3-point arc."
  
  Per the Plain Dealer
• Hb31187

  

  The throwing the ball at the ref thing I could understand. But he scores a few more points per game, also puts up like 4 more shots a game playing less minutes so of course hes gonna score more points. I have nothing against Kyrie at all and he might end up better, but as of right now Rondos a better player IMO.
  
  Better on defense, Better passer by far, better rebounder, better bball IQ. And this year with the big 3 being dinged up often, Rondo has actually been the thing the defense keyed in on for quite a few games id say. Cant go wrong with either I guess, but id just take Rondo

  On 46 shots?
• gerb131

  

  What I meant Durant was going for 60 lol
• wildcats20

  

  I don't really have a problem with them counting that bucket, but can a ball really be tipped(start the clock) and then caught and shot in .8 of a second?
  
  There is no way the clock started on time.
• wildcats20

  

  KD is so damn good. Dude is a legit 6'11'' and has the game of a 2 guard. This league is his for the taking for the next 5-7 years.
• lhslep134

  

  KD just made an amazing and-1 to put them up 14 with 1:23 left. What a stud.
