Found Objects: Looking Back and Moving On Edition

Even Rudy Gay was an upgrade from what we could trot out there at that position at the time. Just because you have Dan Dickau and Brevin Knight at the point, and make a play for Ramon Sessions, doesn’t make Sessions any good, just a little better than Dickau and Knight. Same with Gay. Just because you have Al Thornton at the 3, and make a play for Gay, doesn’t make Gay all that good, just better than Thornton.

I would think Gay would be #4 and then after that is a toss-up between Deng and Iguodala. I would rate Deng over Iggy because Deng is a good player who can score when he needs to and is an overall great glue guy.

Tim, Joe Johnson is a 2. Marvin Williams is the starting 3 for the Hawks. Prince is not as good a shooter as Gay is and because of his recent injury history, Prince is a shell of the defender he used to be. Z-Bo is still really effective as a PF. His injury slowed him down. Z-Bo will be Mr. 20-10 again next year when he can finish rehabbing his injury this summer. It shows you don’t really watch basketball when you don’t know that Joe Johnson is a 2. You forget about Luol Deng too

Clips4, you have an odd way of questioning my knowledge, when you spouted off at the mouth that we should trade Bledsoe for Ebanks. That little idea of yours has a lifetime of knowledge all to its self, sir. You also said Gay was going to light us up, and it didn’t happen. You know close to nothing about things such as what you claim to have knowledge about. Weren’t you the one who said, theres’ truth to the fact that if Memphis had scored a few more points here and there, that they would have won? Of course that true, but thats one of the lamest takes you could possibly back up, and you went there. Your imput is close to worthless Clips4.

You’re right to take Pierce over Gay, but not Marion over Gay. The only reason Marion was an all-star was because of Steve Nash.

Again, I do not let my Clipper fandom cloud my objective analysis and comments. Bongstradamus and I have called you out with facts and stats we post to back up our analysis. Even Renato S. has called you out. Your passion for the Clips is great, but don’t let it cloud your judgment and analysis.

Tim, I never called Sessions a “great” point guard. I’ve always thought he was a good point guard. He has been underrated. The only reason he was on so many losing teams was because the teams were in rebuilding mode and he gets caught on teams that go into the lottery to draft young prospects so he gets buried on the depth chart. He is an above average point guard and is not a bad player. You call him garbage. He’s not.

When I called for the trade Bledsoe for Ebanks, that was back in February at which point, I had not seen anything from Bledsoe up to that point and based off everything coming off of his rookie year. He was hurt. I’d seen enough of Ebanks to see what kind of a player he could be if he got minutes and could develop. Given the new information that I’ve seen from Bledsoe, I have been off my stance for a few months now. Basketball analysts do this all the time. They make conclusions based off the evidence presented to them and change their conclusions when the evidence changes. Quit whining about how I wanted to trade Ebanks for Bledsoe when I do what every other analyst does. Your man crush of VDN is sickening too. You and the people who think VDN is a good coach wouldn’t know what a good coach is if it hit you in the face. The only reason we won so many games this year was not because of VDN. We won because CP3 is a great player.

JJ is a natural 2 that plays 3 because Marvin Williams just flat out sucks.

Gay is top 5. He is better than Prince, who is nothing like he was in Detroit’s heyday. The closest competitors are Granger and AI. Paul Pierce would be #4 and Gay would be #5 for me. Pierce has 1-2 seasons left, tops. Marion hasn’t been in the top 10 since he left Phoenix. Gay is a bubble all-star. He’d have a higher PPG on a different squad.

Tim, quit attacking people and then covering it up in empty rah-rah. Half your posts are hit pieces on other commenters you’ve decided you have a bone to pick with.

Bong, all you and Clips4 do is prop up the opposition, and bang on Vinny. Rudy Gay is not a top 5 small forward. You’d take Gay over Gerald Wallace? Clips4, yes Foye struggled in his first playoff series, but you can’t take back that he led the league in 3 pointers in the 2nd half of the season, no matter what you say. Bong, you said Sessions is great, now you own that, don’t come off you stance like Clips4. He owns that he thought Bledsoe should be traded, and he owns that he thought Foye should be traded, and you were both wrong. No rah-rah to that. In a 1 game clutch situation, Shawn Marion and Tayshawn Prince are proven, and have rings to show for it, and Gay has proven to be a choker, and definately not top 5, is all I’ve sayin. Pierce, Prince, Marion, are all players right now, that I would start ahead of Gay based on what just happened last week. I’d take Wallace, Pierce, Prince, Marion, to go along with KD, Melo, and Lebron, and since Johnson is listed as a 3, Johnson too. Gay is not a bubble all-star, and neither is Sessions, but you own that now, until you throw your expert card on the table like Clips4 frquently does, and then you are free to change your stance. All I can say is, 2pts aint that great, sir.

I didnt beat up on Vinny till game 6. That last minute was unforgivable in my mind.

I did maintain that we let him finish the season out when everyone was calling for his head after the trade deadline. I said keep him if we get to the Finals, and only under those conditions because the best coaches in the game are available and looking for work this offseason. It’s like LeBron’s FA season for coaches. We’d be idiots not to try and upgrade the most critical position for the franchise.
