Yea like i said he is fun to watch. Just trying not to get that confused with the facts.


K..
Most 4th quarter points in March
123 - NIKOLA MIROTIC
94 - LeBron James
83 - Russell Westbrook
79 - Lou Williams
76 - Corey Brewer

quote:

He played spectacular, and not just in the second half," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "He gives us a lot of problems and they did a good job using him in different ways and in situations that are unique for power forwards to guard."


quote:

Said Mike Dunleavy: "He's just a matchup problem. There are not a lot of 4s in the league who can guard him, get on the perimeter and challenge his 3s. He can put it on the floor and finish. He's a big weapon for us. His play lately has been great.


quote:

"Man, dude can play. He's basically carried this month, to tell you the truth," Butler said. "He's confident, I think he's only going to continue to get better because he's always in a gym working on his game and it shows."


Maybe if he had more commericals you'd think he was good

on a list with Corey Brewer and Lou Williams

and Let's examine his FG by other quarters
1Q: 35%
2Q 39%
3Q: 28%


I love how we have all these stats at our disposal, but people still only look at PPG or watch Sportscenter. If they are players they like, they come up with BS stats like above, 4th Q total points. If they are players they dislike, they rip them apart with any little thing they can find. Whatever happened to just being unbiased on a player?



As for the quotes, im not saying he's been playing terrible. But how do you think interviews go?

Reporter: "Thoughts on Mirotic".

Is the player supposed to say: "Oh man, he has had his flashes, but sometimes his shot selection kills us. Oh, and i wish he'd stop shooting 3's because he hasnt made one since the ACB League."

4th quarter points is an absolutely retarded stat. Good players who's teams are winning by a lot don't play in the 4th quarter.
