If you want something telling to look for, and I know watching a basketball game for something ther than highlight plays is a big step for you, look at the other team's offensive output at the end of the first quarter. Knight routinely plays the first 12 minutes (unless he gets in foul trouble), and usually the team we play is in an offensive funk early. That's not a coincidence.
Ah yes, the old if you disagree with me you aren't watching him play nonsense. Well, I do watch him play, hell, I even watched him play Live. That's right, I paid money to watch the Pistons last year, I was one of those 8 people. I watched about 40 games on the tube. I've probably watched 800 games in the past decade. I also play badly 4 times a week. Unfortunately, I'm not some casual asshole, sorry. Otherwise I wouldn't even be here talking about a 2nd year PG for a shitty team. I liked the Monroe and Knight picks and it makes me excited for the team's future. I was even excited for the team to come out strong after the all star break like they did. When these idiots decide to start Drummond, I'll buy the broadband league pass. You still have to go and prove your case against the evidence. I am not going to examine a sample size of 12 minutes in 1 quarter for a guy that is out there for over 30 and the game. If you can show a strong trend in the sample over the course of at least half the year, I'll take it into consideration as potentially useful and discuss any data, but right now, not even worth my time when the burden of proof remains on you.
