I don't mind it if we re-sign Lin and Kidd serves to mentor him.
My only problem is that we refuse to blow the team up. If Joe Johnson could be traded, Melo can.
Rondo last 3 years:
12.5 PPG, 11 APG, 4.6 RPG, 2.2 SPG.
CAREER playoff averages of 15/9/6, with 17/12/7 this past year... And we can all agree that we have yet to see the best Rondo has to offer.
Rondo.
Arguably best playmaker and defender of the position. Is an efficient scorer which I think will show more this season with the "big three" diminishing.
WTF is a good playmaker who can't pass? You're an idiot. Rose is not an exceptional playmaker at all... He's a great scorer, but just a good playmaker.
I was doing this at work during down time, and I was trying to figure out some kind of formula to rate all PGs on.
I came up with: playmaking (1-10) x 4.5 + scoring (1-10) x 3.5 + defense (1-10) x 2 = rating/100
All of the ratings would be relative to other PGs in the league. Let's take CP3...
Margin of error for a sample size of 4 is 50%... Please don't compare the 2-2 sample record vs a 59 game sample.
With that said, the Thunder can't change the lineups for a simple factor: emotions. A team with that great a record and that great a run can't afford to essentially exile one of...
On paper the team is more than ok, but the problem is that on the court is the furthest thing from a 'team' as I've ever seen outside of pickup basketball. Hell, it looks like pickup basketball to me. Wing player brings up the ball, iso offense, ball stops in his hands.
Seriously, I've seen...
