I get you like the guy but some objectively is necessary.

Like I said we are going to find out. Let me know if you don't think I'm being objective. My problem is it gets pointed out after every single fucking game. The fact is I rarely bang his drum in the face of it. Have I? Yes, but not nearly as much as you seem to indicate. Just let me know when I'm not fair.

Oy, Duke calling for objectivity. :rolls: Next thing you know he'll be telling us to disagree respectfully.

I don't mind some amount of Point Wiggins offensive sets or Point LaVine sets. I think it's important for an offense to diversify the number of guys that can make plays with the ball in their hands. Heaven forbid what would happen in Houston if Harden were to go down. Or OKC if Westbrook got hurt.

I guess it's just a matter of how much is too much. Certainly it's working today, but the fact LaVine and Wiggins have combined to average 5.5 assists per game this season tells us about all we need to know about how advanced they are as play makers. Hopefully they keep getting better and I guess that's part of the goal.

Q, how about the fact we only went to it 4 times in the half? I don't see anything wrong with that. You have participated in discussions where the common theme is that the ball is taken out of Ricky's hands constantly. I've seen that in some 4th quarters but never during an entire game.

Spot on Q. I certainly think it's important to put the ball in their hands at times.

Remember as long as Wiggins scores over 27 with Lebron like efficiency we are pretty well guaranteed a win!!!

First off, I wasn't even complaining or whining about "point Wiggins" in this game. I believe one of my first comments was complaining about Rubio's crappy first quarter!

And correct, earlier in the season, Thibs didn't completely take the ball out of Rubio's hands, but anyone who has watched the last few games can see he has been given a much larger percentage of opportunities to run pick and roll.
