Re: Pole: More important Rajon Rondo had a winscore of 7.1 the year they won the ring, this would have made him 3rd highest on our team last year (behind Brandon at 12.7 and LMA at 8.9 and before Joel at 6.3). Rondo was far from nothing even in his 2nd year (the ring year).
Re: Pole: More important Does that show his winscore for the finals? I'm not saying he was garbage.. but they were called the Big 3.. or Boston Three Party for a reason that year.
Re: Pole: More important I think a balance between bench and starters is essential. You need a group of starters that can compete and dominate on their own. At the same time, having extreme depth helps avoid wear and tear in the regular season, so when the playoffs come and rotations shrink the starters are rested and ready to shine. Enjoy this depth while we have it. It is a pretty unique situation to have so many good players on small contracts...it's not going to last forever. GO BLAZERS!

Re: Pole: More important Damn, I knew I should have read the thread all the way through before responding!
Re: Pole: More important No, this is just for the regular season. Does not matter what they were called - Rondo was a pretty decent player even that year.
Re: Pole: More important Oops, my bad, I thought he said three titles and was thinking back in the 80s.
Re: Pole: More important WESTWEGO, La. – Chris Paul(notes) was spent. His knee ached. His legs felt heavy. He had nothing left to give his New Orleans Hornets. The Denver Nuggets had used their bigger guards to batter Paul throughout the teams’ first-round playoff series, and it showed. In the Hornets’ final two losses – one by a humiliating 58 points – Paul averaged just eight points. Beaten and bruised, the Hornets exited the playoffs knowing what they needed to do. They had to get Paul some help. Chris Paul averaged more than six points less in the playoffs than the regular season. As the Hornets try to reestablish themselves as a legitimate contender in the Western Conference this season, they do so with a new mantra: The less we demand of Paul now, the more we’ll get from him later. Hornets coach Byron Scott is determined to reduce Paul’s workload, hoping to keep his All-Star point guard fresher for the playoffs. The offseason additions of two speedy newcomers – Bobby Brown(notes) and rookie Darren Collison(notes) – could go a long way in helping him do so. “No disrespect to the backups that done it before,” Scott said, “but now we have two guys who are the type of players that I’ve needed.” I think we should take the same approach with Roy.
Re: Pole: More important Doubt it. Only the Magic baby, only the Magic. Here is a picture of a Pole making sweet sweet love to a hoop.
Re: Pole: More important I agree we should rest Roy as much as possible, but I bet they are worried about getting better players as starters so he doesn't have to carry the whole load when he's on the court.
Re: Pole: More important Deep benches get you through injury and rest. That gets you to the playoffs then you go with the best and hope for no injuries.
