    I know everyone knows this little tidbit about Reefer, but I thought I would show how bad it is.

    I think we need to bring in a veteran PG who can groom AB to be the starter.....read my sig.

    This team would be kicking some major ass if Reefer could shoot the freaking ball.

    the only argument that is pro-Rafer is that he can set up the offense..but if we got a true PG on our team that can shoot decently, besides a bunch of 6 foot shooting guards...we'd be awesome!

    Wow Mike James tops the list in 3pt%, maybe we should trade Rafer for him. :rolleyes:

    Really though FG%'s will go up as the season progresses, T-Mac and Artest are near Rafer territory themselves as of now.

    He is above Deron Williams and Derrick Fisher! That is a shocker. I would have predicted the bottom.

    Not-so-shockingly bad. You should have highlighted the assists too- miserable.

    This was a given. We all knew this going into the season.

    Deron Williams surprises me. Fisher does not. He is in decline and might be what costs the Lakers a Championship.

    The team is better with Rafer than without so he has to get big minutes. Maybe the team can field a tier 2 PG (and some extras) for McGrady.

    Actually, he's in the middle of the pack. But he's smart the pass the ball....he sucks at shooting!

    He's been injured all season. He just came back yesterday and guess what....didn't miss a beat - 11 points and 15 assists!

    Gotcha. For some reason I thought he had been back for a while. Not surprised about his numbers yesterday. The guy is probably my favorite PG in terms of his game (not his team).

    I'm just glad that he's back cause he's on fantasy team :D

    Other than that, I hate him cause he's a Jass and always kills us :mad:

    The biggest problem I have with Rafer is his stupid a$$ tear drop. I cringe every time I see it coming. Doesn't he look at his own game tape and see that it's a horrible low percentage shot. If I saw video of myself throwing up a shot like that time after time I would just retire on the spot.

    Just because he's not at the very bottom doesn't mean it isn't shockingly bad. I think Rafer gets the most amount of open looks consistently of any PG in the NBA ... All he does is camp at the 3 point line and waits for either Yao to get doubled and dish it out to him or McGrady to penetrate and dish. Rafer sucks!

    Rafer really set up and ran the offense late against the Pacers, huh?

    The only thing Rafer can do is set up the offense and play some decent D but thats about it. Oh I miss the good ol' days of Bob Sura.

    I hope we can snatch him with the MLE.

    2009 NBA Free agent point guards:

    Steve Nash
    Allen Iverson
    Jason Kidd
    Andre Miller
    Mike Bibby
    Stephon Marbury
    Raymond Felton
    Nate Robinson

    It would be so bitter sweet if Nash/Kidd were willing to take the MLE to compete for a championship.

    Rafer is garbage and was never good. He's this team's biggest weakness. If the Rockets have success it's usually in spite of him.

    MIGHT be able to get Bibby with a full MLE deal. Adelman + Championship contention + Big PG minutes should get it done.
