Matthew Dellavedova

[thunder_down_under]

Irving: 0-1 VS Curry in the finals
Delly: 2-3 VS Curry in the finals (which apparently includes him playing while injured)

Haters are smoking something.

...WTF was that post

Everyone is missing the boat in regards to Dellavadova. You pay the man because this isn't just an act. This is who Delly really is!

There's a reason Kyrie wanted to fight him on the court the day they first started practicing against each other.

You keep Delly; for no other reason than the intensity he brings to practices.

There's plenty of leaches out there who have earned or are currently earning 5 million per season to be a bunch of cockroaches.

At least I know Delly would earn his money the hard way, like the fucking working man.

Delly needs to remain a part of the fabric of this team. His attitude is priceless, and there should always be a spot open on the bench for a player like Delly.

Agree. Attitude is contagious.

Intelligence seems to be an underrated commodity around here and in NBA culture. I do not understand it.

At the end of the day, in my mind, when you dis' Delly, you dis' yourself.

Harrison Barnes is 4-2 as the starting sf against Lebron.

So by your logic Harrison Barnes > Lebron.

PS. In case you are as stupid as your post, I was using sarcasm.

You guys are hilarious! And also don't understand logic.

P.S. I was just using facts to show that Delly did something really good (and hard) in the finals. But don't let me keep you from drawing your own conclusions.

Your logic is flawed.

Comparing Delly to Irving is absurd.

If we had a healthy Irving (which you failed to mention about his one game), we would have won game 1. Also, a healthy Irving abuses GS for going small and removing their rim protector.

The number one reason we lost the series is because Irving was hurt. Number two was Love's injury.

And this is not a knock against Delly, but one just got rated the third best pg in the league and the other is probably not a top 50 pg. I want to keep Delly, but you have know clue what the word logic even means.

The fact that you guys think I was trying to say that Delly is greater than Irving is funny. None of that ever happened in my original post. Okay. I'm done here. Good luck with your own conclusions.

What is funnier is that it is obvious you don't know how to make a conclusive argument. What was your point then by pointing out their records in the finals if it wasn't Delly > Irving.

If you agree other factors go into winning games besides one starting player alone, then your logic is highly flawed and you made a point that is as useful as a condom with a hole in it.

You have less than 10 posts, do yourself a favor and lurk a bit longer. Learn what a quality post is. We like new people, but we want like posters who add substance, and I am sure in time you can become that poster.

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

Irving had a hell of a game playing hurt (we easily and should have wonegame 1), and we would have won it all if he was 100 percent. One of the worst posts I have ever seen.

The point of the post was that for all the denigration of Delly's contribution, he was the starting PG (while playing ridiculous minutes) on a team that took two from GSW, including one in their house. The fact that we lost one with Kyrie isn't a criticism of him, but rather just illustrates how good GSW really was.

The idea that Delly isn't even good enough to be a backup seems pretty questionable when viewed from that perspective.

Again, I think the problem is the inflated expectations for a b/U PG. Guys without holes in their games don't play backup - they start. You have to be deep enough elsewhere to cover for the deficiencies of your backup, and the Cavs just weren't.

That's not a problem with Delly. It was a problem with the rest of the roster.

You keep him for no other reason than you don't want to play against him

Good post. But I think you mean "guys without wholes in their game don't EXIST. Guy's with less holes in their games start."

Delly get's shat on by the haters for having no handle and being a poor shooter. Both of which are great for a second year backup point guard that his wearing himself extremely thin by hustling more than anyone else in the league (4th AST:TO ratio, 14th 3PT%). He came back way too early from that knee injury and hist 2P% suffered as a result early in the season. But I think it will be up next year. I don't think many people who REALLY watch his game closely claim he is lacking those skills. Yet the casual people who show up to scapegoat like to say that.

I think the only thing he severely lacks is the ability to create his own shot all the way to the hoop. He can get that mid-range floater, but trying to take a man 1 on 1 he lacks hops and height.

Id like to see him take some of those floaters closer to the hoop, teams tend to hang off Delly a bit because they are concerned about the alley oop pass, I notice he often has more space in front of him which he does not always utilise to his full advantage, sometimes he settles for an awkward floater further out where he tries to sink the shot off the backboard.

Delly has a good hesitation dribble which he can use to his advantage in this situation.

A couple good examples of how effective his floater can be were against Chicago, he was able to take his shot much closer to the hole for a swish or dish off closer to the hoop.
