Against the Philadelphia 76ers:
Myles Turner (1/6 FGA) 9pts/5reb in 29 minutes and fouled out........only it wasn't against Joel Embiid (injury/illness), but it was Dwight Howard who dominated 11pts/15reb (12 free throws) in 23 minutes.
Doug McDermott (4/6 FGA) 8pts/5reb in 21 minutes and also fouled out.
Not a great night for Turner, but he has thoroughly outplayed every one of our big men this year. And for whatever it’s worth, D12 made one FG and had four points when guarded by Turner.
And is there anyone who wouldn’t take McDermott’s eight points in five rebounds on a below average night? His quiet night is more than any of our bench players average.
Man you love keeping this thread of yours going. Myles Turner has an awful night, time to re-post how much better the Celtics would be with Myles Turner right now, over their other centers. Too much snow your way??
I responded to a comment from earlier today. I’m not sure that your contribution added a lot?
Fair enough.
What do the ## show when you compare Turner this season to either Theis or Rob Williams on a 36 min basis? I bet Turner is not as dominant as you imagine. I have no idea, just my gut here.
For example, Rob's PER this season is 25.6. Turner's is 18.3. Thoroughly outplayed?
Just checked Per 36:
15.7 ppg Turner, 14.4 ppg Rob W
4.3 blocks Turner, 3.6 blocks Rob W
7.5 rebounds Turner, 8.6 rebounds Rob W
FG% 503 Turner, .750 Rob Williams
Besides 3 point shooting (which we already get from Theis, and isn't that great from Turner, low 30's), how exactly is Turner thoroughly outplaying Rob Williams this season?
