I have no clue why...
But I'm lmao!
I think its your CB hate.
LOL, you don't know why? Maybe because he averages less than 6 APG for his career and his nickname is Mr. Bigshot...
I don't hate CB, I think he is overrated and over paid especially at his age and not the right fit for this team.
Funny... I feel the same way about 'Antoni.
And I think "Bigshot" is referring to hitting shots when they count, as in when a big shot is needed. Plus its a pun on the term "bigshot" like baller.
See how you spun it?
So referring to your past posts...
Who would you like more for our Knicks, Mr. Bigshot or 'Antoni? (And no I'm not saying assume coach has a pass 1st pg or CB has a defensive team around him). Just CB vs MA who lights your fire?
Btw, i'd bet MIA wish they had a Mr. Bigshot.
1. Are you really trying to say CB is a pass first PG? (I notice you conveniently didn't address his APG)
2. Your question is absurd and a false choice. Yea, I'm the one spinning...
3. MIA would benefit from CB much more than us since Lebron is the play maker therefore having another 3 point shooter like CB to spread the floor would benefit them especially in the final minutes of a game.
Yo, why did I write a reply and f*cked up and erased it?
Anyway my response was basically that I don't subscribe to the "pass first pg" label.
PG's to me are floor generals and an extension of the coach.
Apg stats can be a result of many things and primarily takes two to achieve. If a pg was surrounded by knock down shooters his apg should be higher. I think what's more important is how he facilitates on a whole.
I've seen D.Rose be totally passive and I've seen him take over. To me the decision making ability of a pg is a better way to evaluate because his job on offense is to get the easiest shots.
Feeding the hot hand, getting players involved, crisp precise passing whether in traffic or in motion are all things CB has demonstrated even if he isn't the most athletic.
I'd take a great decision maker which to me indicates a by any means necessary type over a pass first passive type guard.
Hasn't CB prooved he can do it all?
And I think the question was legit. Given the current circumstance who would you rather for our Knicks?
CB or MA? (Not cb with a defensive roster or Ma with a pass 1st guard) just their value in terms of impact towards success...
CB or MA?
When it comes to decisions can I argue that CB is better than 95% of pg's- maybe not the fastest or best defender but what to do with the rock...no?
Whether passing or shooting his decisions have led to wins, to me that's what's important. Some pgs are limited by systems or personnel that affects assists. CB has demonstrated the ability to adapt to the situation has he not?
Until you recognize that there are pass first PG's, there are score first PG's and there are combo guards your analysis will stay flawed.
Does CB make great decisions when he pulls up for 3 instead of getting our stars the ball? What you don't get is that we have two of the best scorers in the HISTORY of the NBA let alone in the NBA today and have no use for an aging PG who is by your own admission not the fastest or best defender. Add to it that he only averages around 5.5 APG for his career even on Denver the highest scoring team last year and it's clear CB is not the right fit. We need a PG who is going to get our stars the ball, play some defense and sure hit the 3 when open.(not look for it as a 1st option every X amount of plays)
As to your false choice...the fact that your rigid false choice doesn't allow me to keep MDA and replace CB with a PG I would obviously take CB over MDA because a player has much more impact on a team than a coach especially if you can't replace that player. (hence why your question is absurd)
My dikk still tingles when i think about that game (no KY Jelly)Melo game winner vs the Grizzles
Melo game winning shot then block on Granger
Amare "almost" game winner vs the Celtics
