kings announcers today


was thoroughly impressed with that team today. really enjoyed watching the game. they knew who the hornets were and it was clear that they have seen them play a few times prior to the game. they talked very highly throughout of Ryno, Gordon, GV, and AD. it was really cool to watch a game where the opposing announcers seemed to know a thing or two about their opponent.

I remember those on here criticizing him and saying we needed to upgrade. He was almost this good last year, just had limited mins.

I don't know about this. But he isn't terrible.

He plays hard and does a lot of little things. Very consistent this year... MIP and I might say borderline all star this year IMO.

I get that he has a high average.. rightfully so. I just got the impression you were saying he is Nash or CP3 like.

his passing skills aren't elite like Nash, but he and Nash do have similar AST% and TO%.

Vasquez has improved his shot enough that he is a legit (top 15) nba starting pg despite his limitations.

hornets should give him an extension- I bet they can get a very good deal this summer

I agree, but he's right in the middle of that list with regards to A/TO. He's top 15 among qualifying players in the NBA in AST/TO ratio.

Yeah they are all about the same except for the 2 stand outs (CP3 )

A double double average is pretty sweet. Especially a PG.

So let me get this straight... you laugh every time someone says Calderon is better than Vazquez, yes?

Then in the same breath, Vazquez is "dishing at an elite level" because he's 3rd in the league in APG halfway through 1 season.

Whereas Calderon has been top 5 in APG 4 of the past 5 years.

You didnt bang your head a page back when someone suggested that Calderon and Jack be on Vazquez's level?

I also listed a list of PG who I thought were better than GV and you laughed when I said Calderon.

You also like to bring up how Calderon abused CP3 that one game, suggesting that you think Calderon is some chump.

That was more directed at Jack than Calderon. I think Calderon is a very similar player.

What? I don't even know what game you're talking about. I typically don't watch the Clippers or the Raptors when the Hornets aren't playing them.

Did I actually laugh or did I disagree? I don't think Calderon is better than Vasquez.
