OST: Eastern Conference Semifinals: (2) Detroit vs (3) Orlando, DET WINS 4-1

The Flip Murray hatred is clouding reason here.

I'm not teaching you a "lesson", I provided you with an example of a player that is considered a PG just because he has played the position, regardless if that position is the best fit for his skill set.

Suspend the hate and you might see the message.

Who here disagreed with Kstat that Stuckey's pass had poor fundamentals? I would say that was pretty obvious. But, his jumping was the reason for Tay's opening, and it worked. I don't condone doing that a lot, even once a game (or three), but it's his creativity there that had me excited. He found a way to get it done. Just don't do it again. lol

As he learns, like wtfchris explains, he will become a better, more sound PG that hopefully can still make creative plays but without the poor fundamentals.

Dear Glenn:

How is the ability and willingness to drive and dish not in the skill set of a point guard?

Granted, he doesn't always know which plays to call, but hardly anyone does in their first year.

Perhaps you should have compared Stuckey to someone else playing the position who is more of a SG, that isn't a complete chucker. There are plenty of combo guards out there, why pick a chucker?

[WTFchris]

Here are some more combo guards (some are chuckers, some not):

Gordon
Duhon
Barbosa
Manu
Jack
Arenas
Ellis
Terry
West
Green
Jackson
Barry
Head
James

there are also a lot more PG's that are more of true scorers than creators (like Billups):

Davis, Fisher, Bibby

It is, but apparently you didn't see him get the ball swatted back in his face a few hundred times (NOTE: THAT'S AN EXAGGERATION) this year when he tried to drive and take it himself into the teeth of the defense.

Like I have been saying, "hopefully" that gets better, but the insistence here that opinion is fact is what rubs me the wrong way, always has.

BECAUSE IT WAS FUN

Are you seriously not understanding that your stance on the "Flip Murray hate" makes what you were saying confusing.

I mean that post basically just says what I've been trying to explain to you only I don't think you realize it.

BTW, it's not "hate". Only you think it's hate which is why your opinion isn't objective.

[Glenn]

If it was confusing, I'm sorry.

Just trying to mix in a fun example to illustrate my point.

[Glenn]

In the spirit of togetherness, I'll try not to be so critical of the unabashed Stuckey admiration.

No promises, though.

I think the Darko experience has changed my perspective on these things.
