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 :dead: 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" :dead:
All you do is lie and create straw men. I haven't said anything about Rubio. He certainly does not prove that a pass first point guard can't be effective in this league.
There's this silly line of thinking that you and your buddy @Malta push saying that shoot-first point guards are better than pass first point guards, and that pass first point guards don't work in today's league. Even tho he's a marginal NBA player Ishe disproves that. Reggie Jackson is a talented shoot-first point guard while Ishe can't shoot, but the Pistons would be a better team with Ishe starting over him. Let me repeat again so you don't miss the point dummy, pass first point guards can be really effective in this league.
Anybody who thinks that Lowry is better than Kidd or that a prime Kidd wouldn't be a monster in this league is a fukking idiot. That's the point. The rest of that shyt you're talking is a deflection.

After watching Marcus Smart against us tonight i dont get the hate for him by Celtics fans..Yea he does dumb stuff but he gives 100% effort all game & is a menace on defense..He's like Rodman lite at the guard position

He's been playing the best he ever has as a Celtic over the past 4-5 games. No one has ever denied he's a great defender, but he's consistently been an inefficient blackhole offensively through his career thus far. He's on a hot stretch right now but when his shooting comes back down to earth you will see exactly what's so frustrating.

I would call marcus smart a draft bust but that whole 2014 nba draft class is underwhelming as hell besides the top 3

It's one of those classes the puts a lot of guys you need to build a team with in the league, you need those every once in awhile instead of a couple superstars and nothing else.

Jokic was drafted in 2014 too.

Where are the names fakkit? And Ish Smith being a rotational player doesn't prove you can build contenders around pass first PGs today dumb ass.

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
I hope you understand what's going to happen when you guys lose in the playoffs :mjgrin:

We came into this season with the goal of winning one round

Depending on how the next week goes, we should have cap space for a max guy and a top 3 pick

Unless we get eliminated in the first round or swept in the second it's all good
