Big (Man) Love, 2020-21 season

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

1/10 Big Man update:

Rudy Gobert: 4/19/1/0/4 versus Pistons
(BMOtN) Nikola Jokic: 22/10/5/1/1 versus Knicks
Anthony Davis: 27/4/1/0/3 versus Rockets
DeMarcus Cousins: 6/4/0/1/0 versus lakers (ejected 2nd quarter)


Honorable Mention:
Julius Randle: 29/10/5/0/0 versus Nuggets
Pascal Siakam: 25/11/3/0/0 versus Warriors


I don't consider Siakam a Big Man but, considering who Toronto started today, he was pretty much the de facto center, so he gets HM.

1/11 Big Man update:

Andre Drummond: 19/14/3/1/2 versus Grizzlies
Nikola Vucevic: 28/13/5/0/0 versus Bucks
DeAndre Ayton: 8/6/1/0/1 versus Wizards
Joel Embiid: 24/11/1/0/1 versus Hawks
John Collins: 12/7/1/0/0 versus 76ers
Domatas Sabonis: 28/11/3/0/0 versus Kings

The only qualified big man who actually won last night put up 12 and 7. **** it, no award, unless needed for a tiebreaker.

No honorable mention for Richaun “6 blocks and a random 30ft buzzer beating 3” Holmes?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

No honorable mention for Richaun “6 blocks and a random 30ft buzzer beating 3” Holmes?

My rules for Honorable Mention, though admittedly arbitrary, are completely consistent. The only way that Holmes could have made Honorable Mention was if the Pacers were ranked in the Top 5. Since it's still too early in the season to go by win/loss, IMO, I have to (*ugh*) rely on... Power Rankings (*blech!*). Indiana's average power ranking, over the four I aggregate from, is 8.25. They aren't ranked higher than 7, in any of them.

Why not just keep all this in an excel file? This seems like a private endeavor that hardly has any public interaction and doesnt invite any public interaction, yet this is a public forum. It's just odd.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Why does anybody on this message board do anything? What is there to talk about that is a better use of bandwidth, or my time, to post about, than this? And just how would you propose that I "invite public interaction," anyway?

And, besides, I don't have Excel on my computer: I'm too cheap to pay for a license, and too principled to pirate one.

You said it yourself, private endeavor. He has his reasons for doing this. Public forum? Actually privately owned and controlled/moderated site that allows for public interchange.

Speaking for myself, I like the bigman updates but don’t ever really find it necessary to comment on this thread.

Who knows how many other lurkers peruse this bad boy!

For sure. It’s nice to have this all wrapped up in one place. Don’t feel I need to respond, but I’m in here viewing the stats at least a couple times a week.

I enjoy looking at it. Iol on the "no award unless needed for tiebreaker." Love that.

 

[chief bromden]

Just an honest question, I was curious. Thanks lurkers for speaking up.

I occasionally come in here to try to find my fantasy star Myles Turner and his 4+ blks per game avg on the season, but I'm afraid to ask where he's at lol

I have no intentions of staying up to watch the second half of MIN/GSW, and nobody playing in that game is an automatic qualifier for the nightly listing, so I am going to go ahead and post this, now. I won't officially announce BMOtN, until all games are final, but it's Gobert's to lose.
