I think it was Bill Parcell's who said "You are what your record says you are." or something along those lines. The numbers I pulled aren't from...
So it is propaganda....
If we're splitting hairs about numbers, Battier's currently shooting 35.5% from the 3 point line. That puts him at #78 in the league....
Do you have a Master's degree in propaganda??? ;) These kinds of comments don't really help the discussion. But they are great for getting...
I think Durvasa makes an excellent point above. Battier himself has said that everyone on this team needs to step up offensively to help carry...
I think you're making assumptions about all of these things, without a lot of evidence. What makes his picks better than most players? You say...

I think you're right about Yao's perimeter shooting and passing skills being valuable in the system, but Yao is prepared to make a much bigger...
the dang Mustang only goes where it wants to. It won't take you where you want to go. The mustang is really concerned about it's own future and...
so you swap it for a an old busted chevy that takes up space in your garage for 4 years and costs you 17 million annually to maintain??? ;)
don't remember the circumstances, but those deals happened a long time ago, and they could be the reason for the current philosophy.
I totally understand that. It even helps your argument that when KG had Cassell and Sprewell playing alongside him, he took them pretty deep into...
