This was never about building a team around pass first point guards you lying ass fakkit. This was about you and your butt-buddy making the ridiculous claim that Lowry is better than Kidd and your overall point that pass first point guards no longer have a place in the league. Ishe's performance in that game against Lowry and the raps illustrated that guys who can push the ball in the open court, and penetrate the lane collapsing the defense in the half court while making the right decisions finding teammates can be still quite effective in this league. Those skills are more important to a point guard than being able to shoot/score and you don't even have respect for them.

You don't know the game anywhere near as well as you think you do and you're a bytch about it.

No fakkit, don't tell me what I did and didn't mean, it has always been about team building that is how the other thread got started because I said who I'd rather have on my team.

I'd rather have Lowry than Ason Kidd.

I asked you to name some of these teams built around pass first PGs today and you haven't. I asked you to name all these dominant pass first PGs that you claimed existed, you haven't. You're trying to use Ish Smith being a rotational player as a means of proof that a pass first PG could have a team built around them, yet Ricky Rubio isn't proof of the failure of a pass first PG despite playing with 3 20ppg scorers Basically you're talking in circles, and I expect nothing less than this level of stupidity from someone who claims the Cavs play "90s ball"

Rubio flat out doesn't have the athleticism of J Kidd to break down defenses as consistently as well as Kidd's ability to go grab a rebound and start his own break on occasion. .I think Rondo pre knee injury was looking like a superstar in part because it was so hard to keep him out of the lane. Plus Kidd was an exceptionally smart player so he'd figure out how to make teams pay for going under screens. I really am shocked that it's a conversation that Lowry is better than Kidd even with me being a huge Lowry fan.

The figuring it out part has been harder than expected, especially with both Jackson and Drummond plateauing. Detroit has quietly explored the trade market for each of its franchise centerpieces, according to sources across the league, and come away disappointed with the potential return. (Van Gundy himself has said anyone is available for "the right price.")

Any Drummond deal at the deadline is an extreme long shot, but Jackson remains in play for Minnesota, Orlando, New Orleans, or some mystery destination. Even if Detroit keeps him, missing the playoffs would put dramatic changes on the table this summer.

classic Rubio yesterday

puts up empty assists in the first 3 quarters just to disappear in the 4th

well disappear is the wrong word. I vividly remember the Wolves being down 3 with like two minutes to go when Ricky first bricks a three (like always) and then gets stripped by Kyrie on the next possession. He is the undisputed WOAT

it really isn't. As in Lowry's last 2 seasons have been very good (and this season his shooting is almost last year Steph from 3). But I hope no one is talking career wise Lowry > Kidd,

What the heck, that's an odd mistake lol.

There were several other instances last night where KAT was clearly annoyed by Rubio's lack of offense.
