his fast break to garnett where he dribbled behind his back & then faked a pass to garnett, faked a lay up and then dished to garnett all in the matter of like .5 seconds was amazing

tbf none of that was at all necessary, btw the pistons are easily the most demoralized team ive seen this early in the season
― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 21:11 (thirteen years ago) link
they are one of the saddest teams in all of sports -- two aging ex-stars playing out their careers in anonymity, two high priced free agents that were overpaid by like 50% each turning the team into a dead weight and keeping it from getting any better & a mix of young guys like stuckey/maxiel/daye that are good but have minimal chance (if at all) to be real 'impact' guys
yeesh

i think rondo is just practicing, basically, i mean why not drop 20 dimes and get in that groove before they start playing teams with real actual defenses. shades of larry shooting left-handed just because he was bored and maybe, someday, it might come in handy
plus don't underrate the fact that this is now his fourth year with basically the same group, and an extra year with pierce, playing 90-100 real games each year with them. bound to develop some crazy telepathy. i think teams undervalue this continuity; cf spurs, lakers; this is even a decent justification for the magic's no-move summer maybe

^i mean spurs and lakers are obvious examples that value this core continuity and are thus dangerous, hence why does one keep derek fisher, well because in addition to a few playoff daggers left in him he must know every microscopic twitch of kobe's game at this point
― enjoy your day (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 3 November 2010 22:49 (thirteen years ago) link
which means adding that kind of familiarity to rondo's raw physical talent and mad creativity = HAVOC
Actually this rondo streak has been making me think about how amazing stockton (whom i never saw) must have been - 15 assists is just a ridiculous number for any night
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Thursday, 4 November 2010 09:59 (thirteen years ago) link
I recently watched the video of all 30 of scott skiles' assists when he set the record and it seems the definition of 'assist' is pretty loose in the NBA
― dayo, Thursday, 4 November 2010 12:33 (thirteen years ago) link
btw last night was a great example of rondo adapting his game--he was much more aggressive trying to score against the bucks because
1) it was a close game2) they were giving him too much space to drive or shoot--he hit 2 or 3 j's handily.

stockton's thing was that he was so simultaneously boring to watch, casually brilliant and dirty as a motherfuckerimagine a shorter, faster, more vicious time duncan who passed better than he could shoothe was hard to really be a fan for but he could absolutely torch you

eh he also had 6tos due mostly to trying to force passes early in the game - he got in the flow but you cannot possibly say you havent seen this assist mad behavior

stockton was easy to love, c'mon

stockton was relentless
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 November 2010 14:26 (thirteen years ago) link
xp yeah i'm not saying i haven't seen it--the last 4 years of c's teams frequently have an overpassing problem and rondo is offender #1--my point is more that once he figured out the flow of the game he adjusted and looked for his shot a bit more. totally agree that he is always looking to pass first this season.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 4 November 2010 14:30 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, stockton was relentless and i'm not saying he couldn't shoot; he was money from the three all career... just that he was better at passing. He was the best there ever was so that's not saying much.but easy to love? he was tight lipped and played vicious and rough as a motherfucker and seemed like a man apart from the culture. the distance he's kept from the game in his post-career life is downright barry sandersesque. Dude was the best but he was NOT easy to love.that said, stockton/malone on NBA Jam was the ONLY team to play.

also rondo is an awesome player and exciting to watch and easy to love but he's no john stockton any more than dwayne is michael jordan

interesting fact i didn't know (and then i'll stop turning this into the Stockton memorial threadjack), but dude never had a regular season triple double in his whole career. Just one in a playoff game.

btw rondo's new dive into the paint/pass behind the defense out to big baby in the corner move is super-money, they ran it perfectly 3-4 times last night.

it really looks like they just practiced that together all summer

I love unassuming dudes who are totally locked in and don't really care about their own status/reputation. playing vicious is also a big + in my book, also knowing how to play dirty/work the refs. love all these qualities
― dayo, Thursday, 4 November 2010 23:29 (thirteen years ago) link
i was also (yes i know, we got WGN on basic cable, don't hassle me about this) a bulls fan during the jordan years and the layover years so always hated those guys.

Honestly, the reason Fisher's still on the Lakers, and the reason Fisher will have a job in the NBA for as long as he wants to play, is that he's amazing in the locker room. I know it's easy to sneer at that kind of thing ordinarily, but he's highly prized for it in the league. He kicks the asses that need kicking, he mends the fences that need mending, and he keeps flaky young guys from tuning out. That's been his role wherever he's played, and it's certainly why Miami wanted him this offseason.
― Princess TamTam, Friday, 5 November 2010 01:06 (thirteen years ago) link
we definitely wanted him (and matt barnes, too, btw). both lost to the lakers.

LOVE stockton for all the same reasons that forks mentioned - he was sort of notoriously hard to approach. heard multiple stories about him denying auto's to little kids when approached @ restaurants, which kind of rules
