Did Rafer Alston do a good job at running the offense?

you are a complete fool, what exactly did alston run, what was one thing he did that could be considered "running the offense?"

 

what in the world is your point? are you trying to defend rafer's honor?

 

tmac ran the offense man...thats it and thats all.

 

Rafer Alston,
The only name that contains all the letters in "offense".

Yes, this is one proof that he ran the show last year.

Any other facts?

 

what? i watched every game last year...i dont need a link to tell me that tmac got in the lane. tmac made the defense converge and tmac dished to battier in the corner for the three....or tmac (or yao) created that open shot for rafer.

 

Well , it was Rafer who gave the ball to TMAC and told TMAC to choose one of three JVG offensive tricks each time.

IMO, that is running offense, and that offense is a good one.

 

3 offensive tricks? realy? jvg has that many tricks?

but seriously,

jvg let tracy do watever sometimes. i'm pretty sure jvg, didn't want him to take those jumpshots, but he did.

and u call those double screens, or other plays, good offense? wow. u obiviously haven't seen spurs or the phonexix, or even the warriors.

also, rafer might handle the ball and take care of the offense, but isn't good at it. why? common sense. when you play pick-up basketball, theres a kid that has mad handles, but an ugly aweful shot. u give him space. that kid represents rafer. except, teams, completely back off, cause once rafer goes in the lane, a pf or a center will pick him up, and causes rafer to shoot those floaters. conclusion? rafer just sucks.

tracy can run the play, but usualy it was rafer to battier/luther to yao. yao was our number 1 option in the beginning of the season. then it turned to tracy, since yao wasn't that dominate self. rafer's lack of confidence is one thing i hate. he had to depend on jvg too much.

i don't care anymore. we have francis, james, and brooks. i'm sure they'll step up, and play fine.

 

so wat? i saw jvg call out several plays himself. heck, even luther could call plays. its not about whos callin the plays, its about who executes the play well.

 

okay. and like i said in my first post in this thread

you mean when he brings up the ball and gives it to Tmac at the three point line......yao sets the pick for tmac and tmac makes a play. Yeah RAFER did a good job by giving the ball to mcgrady and getting out of the way

THAT doesnt make rafer a playmaker. call him a play caller

 

when i said its about who executes well... i meant every player in the play. 75% of the play jvg had, was rafer to just stay away from the movement, and just wait on the 3 point line. basicaly, rafer was in none of the play. and the plays he did have, he did not execute. tracy drives, pass to rafer. wat happens? does rafer execute well? does he makes his shot? OF COUSE NOT. or the picks n roll u've been talkin about. does rafer do what he supose to do? maybe... who know what jvg wanted, a floater or a pass? either way rafer didn't execute well cause he doesn't finish. i dont' care how fancy that pass was, if it caused a turnover, then it was a terrible pass. i dont' care if you have the perfect shooting form, if u don't make the shots. i don't care if u have good control, if u can't do anything with it.

 

not credible? i said i dont' believe in the point-forward, and said if there was such thing he is. but seirously, i don't care about the point-forward buisness, cause i think its useless. what does tmac being a point-forward have to do with rafer doing a good job at running the offense? might as well make the title:

RAFER DOES A GOOD JOB AT RUNNING THE OFFENSE.

instead of making a debate.

 

fine. he runs the offense. but who needs someone that can run the offense if he can't execute.
