    It's official, you guys. I don't know if y'all noticed but the text for the ratings is in red. Definitive stuff.

    I came in here for statistics and all I got was a boxscore. Thanks OP :)

    JCDenton's effort in these threads are severely lacking

    His recent lack of graphical Analysis makes him useless in this BBS

    I suggest we ban him until he starts making excel graphs again

    The lack of a true starting PG is by choice. As for Dragic, Morris etc, this team never won with them.

    Not "indisputable" unless there is graphical evidence.

    Had Morey not given up Scola, Batum, Gay, Lamb, we'd be winning championship after championship. He needs to be fired already. Is Caroll Dawson looking for work?

    1 star for speaking in third person

    But I do wish we could have kept Green and developed him. Always loved his potential, just needed to fit on the right team

    I apologize, but I had to give the thread 5 stars just to piss off the OP. Now he loses a little bit of the trollish pleasure that can be gleaned from creating a 1 star thread.

    I got confused, oh mighty JCDenton -

    Can you explain again why you compare our backup PF Omri Casspi to the Suns' starting SG Gerald Green, as if they were traded for each other or playing the same role?
    Shouldn't you be comparing Green to Harden?:) Was it not more logical to compare Casspi to Morris?

    And while at it - can you explain why either Green's or Morris's numbers are that much superior to Casspi's in your eyes?
    Let me help you out with that, and lay some numbers per 36 minutes for comparison:
    Code:
    Name     Pts     Reb    Ast    Stl    Ast/TO     PIE    PITP   FBPs
    Green     [B]17.9[/B]    3.9    2.1    1.1    1.06      8.8%    3.6    [B]3.9[/B]
    Morris    16.3    6.8    1.8    [B]1.6[/B]    0.94      [B]10.3[/B]    3.8    2.3 
    Casspi    14.6    [B]7.0[/B]    [B]2.4[/B]    1.3    [B]1.19[/B]     10.1%    [B]5.8[/B]    2.5
    They look pretty close to me...
    And in the paint Casspi actually seems to have the upper hand.
    I won't show Casspi's overwhelming superiority in +/- DefRtg, OffRtg etc., because all these are not individual stats but team stats.

    As for DMo - He never got substantial minutes in the beginning of the season, and the wheel is only now shifting and turning for the better in his case, so you may want to hold your judgement there...:)

    Valid points made in the OP. Clutchfans should learn.

    Need some graphs to clarify some of it though

    In defense of Morey, there was some anedoctal evidence suggesting Dragic wanted to go back to Phoenix. In that case, there was almost nothing Morey could have done. We chose to believe otherwise (i.e. bluffing) when pics surfaced Dragic packing that very expensive TV. :grin:

    I gave it a chance...

    and it failed miserably.

    JCDenton,

    We've heard these claims before. Your arguments are not unique and your rationale is more or less incoherent babble.

    The "Official Grade" takes away from your statistical "proof" altogether.

    Stop being so serious. This thread shows that you cannot think beyond a box score.
