50. "and your willingness to make it about one aspect of his game says a lot" In response to In response to 49 Tue Mar-22-16 09:13 AM by Basaglia
OF COURSE he can distribute and run an offense. he wouldn't even be getting time if he couldn't. can he do it as well as some others, like paul or wall or russ or rubio or whoever? no, he cannot. numbers show that. can he do it AS WELL as guys like kemba or teague or dragic. STATS show YES. does he have an offensive skillset that makes him a better SCORER than everyone i just listed. yes.
so, if you really wanna have a legit discussion...i'm with that. but don't get to be butthurt when i pick apart other people's games to unmask your agenda. i'm just putting things in perspective, because in vacuum, his 4.5 apg this season could be perceived as a LOT without comparative information.
there's nothing wrong with simply admitting you have an agenda against a player and you want them to fail. you don't need contrived flaws in their games to do that.
i do just fine by being a purebred hater and saying "player A not better than player B"...that's ALL you need
