    Man that's depressing to see in print. But than again, it's been 26 and 28 years since they went to the finals.

    No, actually I came to contribute my opinion on why man would speak of two PGs as scoring a bunch doing nothing.

    You didn't like my contribution and hopped to the defense. But you have none. Have a good day.

    The reason why our point guard scores a lot is because he's our best scorer. Most of our roster is fucking abysmal on offense. He played the pick and pop very well with LMA. I think Dame would average more assists if we had more weapons, but he's never going to be a Chris Paul, and frankly Chris Paul hasn't done shit. He had some pretty good teams in LA, and hen ever accomplished a thing.

    That's BS. Dame is who he is... a good chucker. He looks for his shot a lot.
    Teammate may impact it a little, but not significantly.

    Dame's assist % is actually higher now than when he played with LMA, Nick & Wes.

    Someone should stick to the OT section!

    7APG isn't a chucker... and that's what Dame would have if he had a C that could finish at the rim.

    That's because Nick handled the ball a lot. Dame will never be Chris Paul. That's not who he is. But outside of CJ we don't have a lot of guys that consistently shoot the ball.

    Baloney.

    He'd average 8 APG ;)

    This is correct. The Prime Directive was to feed LaMarshmallow the ball. The primary feeder was Batum.

    I searched 30mins for that stat but couldn't find it again, but they said in a recent game that the total assists from Dame to Nurk is 2nd in the league for assist from one player to another. And that's with Nurk struggling to finish at the rim.

    I can't compare all players, but here's what I CAN do:

    As of today, this season Lillard has 101 assists to Nurkic (click on Description column, row 194 minus row 93)

    Conversational skills you are lacking.

    I brought you my opinion on your opinion and your comment was a troll statement.. Not recognizing that it takes TWO people for an assist to be scored.

    And that 2nd person is not a PG...

    I have not read this thread, as the whole concept is completely inane.

    However, I would like to point out that a disturbing trend of certain media members "scoring a bunch of (ratings) points, and doing nothing (i.e. being worthless)".

    Perhaps you have it. It hasn't worked with anyone yet.

    The coaches might show them some Nash to Stoudemire tape, or even Rudy to Aldridge tape. You've got to get it to the big fella in motion to where he needs it. Felton couldn't do it either.

    Funny! There is no tape of Dame to Aldridge to study. Rudy to Aldridge, Miller to Aldridge, but no Dame to Aldridge.
    Nurk is the problem? There must be some tape somewhere to show him how it works with Dame?
