I swore I saw an article during the summer saying that the heat fired all their season ticket marketing staff because after they got lebron/wade/bosh, they sold out within the day and didn't need the marketing staff at all. I really hope that the celtics/magic would beat miami in the East.... I'm really not a big fan of Lebron after this summer fiasco. Did anyone see his new commercial btw? it's pretty kooky. | ||

Assists up the wazoo. those assists mean nothing if the guy on the recieving end cant convert. rondo's asst numbers from this year, last year, all testament to the ability of the celtics. and they are even better this year. | ||

That doesn't really make sense. It's not counted as an assist unless the guy receiving the ball converts it... | ||

I'm not positive on what he meant but I think he meant that the assist stat relies on the scorer as much as the passer. His team is making that inflated stat possible | ||

So players like Rondo, CP3, Deron Williams, Nash and J.Kidd consistently put up insane assist numbers because they give you the ball in such a way that it's easy to score. That's the mark of an elite point guard. of course not necessarily. i was merely trying to interpret his comments | ||

That's the mark of an elite point guard. Assists is a pretty bullshit stat. I mean it's not very clearly defined and its open for interpretation. I've actually spent like a entire day arguing with a friend as to what "defines" as assist. I used a wikipedia reference where as he used some weird/funky definition. Also this is an article from like a year ago. Basically their's a few accounts of scorekeepers inflating assist numbers (nick van exel in this case) because he's a laker fan and taking blocks away from Mutumbo because "he's a bit of a punk". http://deadspin.com/5336974/an-assist-for-nick-van-exel-how-an-nba-scorekeeper-cooked-the-books | ||

He just kept sprinting to the rim and nobody could keep up. If Boston's getting that many easy baskets, they should have a huge lead. What happened to Jermaine O'Neal? And who's their backup small forward? Aren't they going to limit the big 3's minutes? | ||

And i seriously think Lamar Odom could lead the league in rebound if he had starter minutes (38+) | ||

That's accuracy as much as decision making. Still, I think assist numbers mean less and less each year. I'd like to compare what an assist is from Jerry West to Magic Johnson to today. I have a feeling Magic and Oscar would be putting up 20 assists per game under the current method of counting. | ||

I know this is the clippers and all, but I'm somewhat impressed by the warriors and think that we may actually pull a .500 this season. I like how the fans went crazy every time he touches the ball, though, lol. | ||

I have a feeling Magic and Oscar would be putting up 20 assists per game under the current method of counting. I watched about half of the Knicks-Celtics game and Rondo was clearly playing for assists to the detriment of his team at times. I wrote on the last page that there were multiple times he passed up 1-0 layups to try to get an assist. That always bothers me. 20 assists is still a huge amount, I'm not trying to take away from that, but it really bothers me when pgs pass up wide open dunks/layups just to try for another assist. | ||

They have all stars in brook lopez and devin harris and I thought they were unlucky in a lot of games last year and should of definitely won more than 12 games. I mean even the wolves won 15 games last year and their team is a mess. | ||
