I always suspected you of being a proponent of schadenfreude.

What was signed, and name your price.

29 shots for the guy that is supposed to be getting everyone involved is alls I'm saying. He's focused on getting his own, and that's fine as long as everyone doesn't stop moving and working out of anticipation that he's blackholing it.

It was a great performance, in any case.

AI was just as good, IMO.

I doubt you'd want it. I (accidentally) had him sign my Tay jersey.

Don't try to confuse me with big words.

And no.

HE'S GETTING ENOUGH ASSISTS, AND THE WAY HE'S PLAYING I DON'T THINK HIS TEAMMATES, WHOMEVER THEY ARE, ARE GOING TO COMPLAIN.

as long as a majority of those 29 shots are attacking the rim, i honestly don't care. stuckey's going to get a reputation with the officials very quickly and he'll be getting to the line more and more. like we saw with stuckey's assist to AI in the final quarter, he's going to learn when to differ when defenses start to focus and collapse on him. stuckey's show himself to be a deft passer.

watching this type of basketball is a breath of fresh air from the jump shooting team of recent years.

Chris Paul has taken more shots as has Isiah. You don't have to suck scoring the ball to be a PG.

With Stuckey, you just give him the ball and let him make plays. He guards the 1 or the 2 fine, so you don't have to put a label. And you don't have to put a "pure point" next to him, because the ball is going to be in Stuck's hands anyways (much like a Wade, Brandon Roy, etc). Put an unselfish guy who can knock down perimeter shots and defend next to him and you're set. (If only Afflalo could make that outside shot consistent)

Notable is the fact that at the end of the game he was on fire, the crowd was chanting "Rod-ney, Rod-ney", he was knocking on 40, and still his last 2 plays were getting AJ a dunk and Iverson a jumper. He's looking to win first, not to put up numbers. In this one, with so many key scorers missing, winning meant him putting the ball in the hoop a bit more than usual.

Also the fact that his record as a starting point for his career is pretty absurd. 17-3, with all 3 losses coming while playing small ball. It speaks for itself.

I knew that record was good, but I didn't think it was quite that good. Dang.
