That is a less than brilliant observation and is really not a relevant thought. Based on your data I would expect awhole lot more from you. So I assume you being a lowly message board poster you never express any thoughts on the team?
Canaan probably quietly asked for a trade. Mchale wasn't playing him even when he showed he could play and Dwight clearly tried to dominate him sexually. Canaan should have been playing here, but after Dwight grabbed his piece on national tv like that I knew it was over.
In this team Prigioni provide a true point guard that play smart defense and actually have a realistic chance of playing and helping this team and have already done it. Cannaan lack of defense and not being a true point guard just didn't have a chance to play in this team. Forget about the sixers K.J. McDaniels was getting minutes there and in Houston he is just a guy at the end of the bench. Houston need a playmeker off the bench at this point not a iso PG. Great for Canaan but he need to develop in a team that will let him dominate the ball.
You can dislike a player, i could understand. But saying "Pablo gives us next to nothing" is silly. The guy moves well the ball, has very few turnovers, very high IQ, uses extremely well the P&R (In Argentina, always did it very well with Scola) and gives to the offensive's bench the calm that they need..we don't have another type of player like Pablo actually. Oh, and the threes will start to fall, he isn't a bad shooter at all.
Yes he has good skills, if he were 10 years younger he might add something to the Rockets. He is not and does not. He is NOT a valuable asset in any way to this team. Dorsey is three times the asset and most people cannot stand him. KJ will not contribute this year. Admit it, they were only done to do a trade, not for the betterment of the team. IN = Noting in the way of help OUT = One of the better three point shooters we had on the team.
As long as the thread is here I will continue to make observation. Sorry you only want to hear positives. It is what it is and was what it was. It should be remembered and they should be held accountable. Not just dismissed and forgotten as you would see fit.
What results. Another 16 pts. Another loss. 15 shots to get 16 pts. Not impressive IMO. Like I said no one will know who wins in the trade til both get the opportunity to play consistently.
Because they are both point guards. Prigioni took Canaan's spot and role on this team. Not McDaniels.
Prigioni helps the team more now: can run a pNr, can pass, and amazingly plays better defense than Canaan. Only advantage is maybe Canaan is a better shooter and is younger. KJ is a much better prospect too. Easy trade. 76ers did it because they'll have control of Canaan several more years in their tanking project.
Doesn't matter. Of course people would take Canaan over prigs. I'm not even a fan from prigs. But That's if Canaan was actually playing. But he wasn't. So the comparison isn't relevant.
Both who, Prig already gets his 5 minutes a game. KJ will be on another team when gets to play. Not sure what you are expecting in your special world. DMO 10 points on 12 shots Harden 2-7 from 3 point range. Not impressive. Silly stat.
I could see him taking 9 threes and hitting 4 of them. Would much more of a contribution than others on the team. He is a better 3 point shooter than Bev or Smith or Terry.
