This right here point blank shows your bias.

West has a bad shooting night, you say, well he grabbed a bunch of rebounds.

When Jrue has a bad night, you completely ignore that he can guard 1 through 4 at an elite level.

Tell me how that does NOT show how biased you are. You're propping up grabbing rebounds as more important than elite level defense.

You would concede that flaw in your argument, correct?

Also funny that you shite on game score with a reason I can only presume you made up because you didn't give any objective data to back it up, saying Jrue had an advantage because he was a guard, West a forward. You're now contradicting yourself because you said when West had a bad shooting night, he could grab some rebounds, that props up his game score. When Jrue has a bad shooting night, he can play elite level on ball defense guarding whoever needs to be guarded from the other team, that does nothing for his game score. You would concede that contradiction on your part, correct?

Don't ask me to go and find stats again, i've done it twice, I think we can close the book on that now.

I’ve never ignored that, cant say how many times I have said he is a model of defensive consistency these days. But boards are as much about offense as defense in basketball as they end possessions and start your offense, or prolong if on the offensive glass.

I asked you to show me the receipts so we can examine, you have so far refused. Got childish and pouted off.

You have also all but ignored component two of my argument which is around his quarter to quarter variance culminating in the third worst in the league in terms of fourth quarter TS% based on a the broad criteria I laid out. Jrue, to put it mildly, is terrible on offense when it matters most, which is in the critical fourth quarter of games. So even in his good games his quarter to quarter variance makes him more of a three quarter player. though if you really want to drill down, only his second quarter this season has been really good and does the heavy lifting for what is honestly poor offensive output much of the rest of the game, skewed worse toward the end.
