Again, the sample size is small dude 6-24=30, you cannot seriously base a conclusion on that, unless you have a deep agenda. Injuries, highly factor into that.
Nope, it just adds more weight to what I previously thought. And if yall say he's as great as he is.... there's no plausible way he should be that bad.....

do you base D Rose that way too? ACL is the hardest injury to recover sports wise. This adds no weight to nothing. Sorry. but not.

Numbers seriously say that. KG was pitifful last year. Do you seriously think that? They didnt even offer Pierce a contract. Offense was better. Numbers show that.
:merchant:

Remind me again how old both KG and Pierce are..... remind me how many seasosn they;ve been in the league... remind me at what stage both KG and Pierce are at in the careers.... surely you aren't this dense.

I wouldn't make Rondo my cornerstone because a PG that can't keep the defenses honest is pretty useless to me.

He'd be a great PG for the right team though.

This is about none of that and more about the market. He got paid regardless.
Ask Detroit if they would have done it again if they had the chance.

The market can dictate whatever, B. The GM still makes the decision on wether a player is worth the money they are asking.

I want a new car and was at a dealership this past weekend to look at it. The car i WANT costs 32K. It's the Market price for it. trucar.com and Kellybb say it's a steal at $32K. Had the guy run my credit and everything. It's stil up to me to decide whether i'll regret tossing $32K into it a year from now. When i realized i probably would thats when i walked off the lot. The sales guy is still calling me thinking he could change my mind. :laugh:

did u expect them to run with old ray, old pierce and old kg? they were a half court team
They were slow paced because Rondo wasn't a threat offensively, not because the big three were old. KG, Pierce, Allen during that period after the ship would have no problem playing with a pg they played at a faster pace.

Rose had multiple seasons as the #1 player.... he had an MVP season as the #1 player........he's proved his worth as a #1 player.

:mjlol: Not today. Too damn late for this.
During the 2012/2013 when Rondo was injured..... and KG and Pierce were on the team they were ranked in the top 10 for pace.... this was with pierce leading the offense..... so if they could play faster then.... they could have played at a faster pace the season before and the season before that.

they couldve played faster, yea prob..but doc was big on minutes to make sure they were rested..they also just wanted to get into the "Dance" healthy and rested rather than scrap random games since they were confident they could beat anyone in the playoffs

first time around they had posey/pj brown/perk etc that wasnt conducive to a fast paced team either
they also were generally the most experienced team in the league...they wanted to take their chances strategically rather than let the other team get easy transition buckets. they were much better half court defensively as well..

rondo's stats were helped by having 3 HOFs on his team yea, but they also needed a PG like him to set up these guys whose abilities to create their own shot had diminished. theres a reason why lebron and kobe switched onto him in the playoffs..
