Rush...to judgment

[xiki]

I noted Kareem 'the Dream (pick)' Rush's moronic stat line in last nite's game. 2 for 6, six points, one rebound. That was it. No steals, no fouls. No reason to be on the court.

hate to bust it to ya but statlines dont mean anything sometimes. He may have been 2 of 6 but what if those 2 3s were in the fourth quarter like in game 1 where he basically turned the tide.

rush has proved his 3 point shooting is a asset for the lakers and just being on the court sometimes allows the lakers to stretch the rocket defense. you see how quickly defenders tried to scramble back to rush as soon as the ball was passed out of a double team

Very true. The shots he hit in each of the first 2 games really killed our momentum and chances in a way. He is doing basically what Fisher always did to us. Come out and nail 3's when it mattered.

He has done a nice job of hitting the open three. He's doing nothing else on the court. He's doing what Pike was brought in for, only less.

How can he be doing less than Pike? Ya, they were both brought in to hit 3s, but atleast one is doing their job. Pike doesn't play at all, but when he does, he doesn't make it count.
