Superstars alone don't win championships!

Superstars can win games, but it ALSO takes a veteran/role model to win championships. Lakers, Spurs, Heat, and Celtics won championships because they had veterans/role models. Cavs, Raptors, Suns, Nuggets, and Heat (without shaq) could not win championships with superstars. Now what happened to those super stars?!?! They have to team up with each other in order to try and find that championship!

 

I would LMAO @ Kwame if that happened. Battier is keeping his house here and his wife is staying here, he has stated that he has packed his bags "for two months". We will see what happens...would love to have him back!

Yes. It's amazing how much he hates the guy that he felt he even had to do this. Somewhat inexplicable.

 

That guy was expendable on the Rockets 5 YEARS ago. And he's been alright since then but hasnt exactly "blossomed".

 

The amount of eternal sourpusses on CF is quite a lot when you think about it. This is quite extreme.

 

Shane ain't doint that well... according to the boxscore.

0-1 in 10 mins, 0 assist, 0 rebound, 0 points, 0 blocks lol.

 

He's not a scorer, but wow. I'll just chalk it up to he's not used to playing with his new teammates.

 

16 minutes, 0 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist.

 

16 minutes of play and he has 3 blocks. that has to count for something, right?!

 

Good for him. It's time for us to move on. We are going in a new direction.

 

As of right now, he has the highest +/- on the team (+23).

 

Shane CAPPIER!

 

Thank you very much Houston!

 

You can have him! So, from all of us to you...Youre welcome.

 

+/- is the most useless stat. Seriously. Does not take into consideration, the other 9 players and officials on the court.

 

And points/reb/assists doesn't take into account the myriad of ways in which Battier can help a team that does not show up in the boxscore. Therefore those are also useless?

 

No, but you're only looking at it from one perspective. What about the ways he hurts the team without it being on the boxscore?
