ok so bear with me its big of a long read.
So i was listening to a simmons podcast and there was an interesting conversation about about how the best offense is not the one with the best player or multiple players or even great shooters, but the best offense is the one that moves the ball. in crunch time, when the ball finds the open man, team succeeds. point blank!
Now also they mentioned that dallas and the hornets were the 2 best teams at outscoring their opponents in cruchtime (last 3-5 mins of the game).
Specifically the hornets, they absolutely murdered everyone in the league when it came to crunchtime scoring and the point the other guy was making was that CP3 was not the guy taking the shots, he wasnt the guy scorning....but he was finding the right guy when it mattered. Now i dont know how good monty williams might be in the future as a coach but he is not the reason NOH had a successful year. its CP3.
The more we sit back and dissect success and the blueprint for winning we should realize that we need CP3 not because he can be our big 3 or that bs. and thats what it is....bs cuz any given night a guy can disappear ( wade in the chi series, lebron in the finals) or a can step up (billups in the game vs the heat). i digress..... we need CP3 cuz he fits what the model for success is. he is a huge huge cog for the whole system to work optimally. ask yourselves this, yes melo carried us on his back but we got swept when we didnt have billups or stat and yea we had basically melo and a bunch of bench players. but CP3 didnt have that much better of a team against the lakers but what he was able to bring to the table was so crucial that it made a huge difference (they won 2 games when their starting center was 6'8 ish going up against bynum and pao and lamar).
i can make the same case for D12. we need what he brings and no one does it better than him. if we can get dalembert for 5mil/yr im all for it but again point being, we need a specific ELITE skillset to roundout our team to a championship level.....thas my 2 cents, holla bak let me know how u guys see it.....
