It's funny but I never really thought he had any. I pay way more attention to Givony (even though he is a huge asshole) than to Ford.

Player X PPG/APG/RPG/TPG. FG / 3PT/ FT
Player A 17.2/10.2/4.2/3.7 .461/.301/.784
Player B 17.1/10.0/3.3/2.7 .444/.344/.719
Player C 17.1/ 7.5/2.7/2.6 .473/.333/.866
Player D 17.4/ 9.8/4.7/2.2 .471/.403/.893

How would you rank these PG's?

One is an all-star starter, two are going to be reserves(most likely), and the other wont even be considered.

I was just looking at some stats and realized how similar some were. Thought it might be interesting to see if anyone can guess who is who.

Not looking up but judging by assists I'm thinking one is Paul and one is Wall. Not sure who the other ones are. No one on the Suns averages that many assists, I think Bledsoe leads the team with like 6 a game which is not to great for your starting PG, but yeah I know... it's the system.

The Warriors missed something like their last 13 3-point attempts. Incredible

I'm sure one is Teague. The other two I'd have to look it up. Conley?

Wall is A, Paul is D, Teague is C. Player B is Lawson. I was just a little surprised at how close Lawson was statistically to wall. Also shows how ridiculously deep the western point guard class is

And funny this loss comes on the heels of Steph Curry talking about getting bored with winning.

On another note, Derrick Rose was absolutely brutal. Shot 13-33 from the field, committed 11 turnovers and dished out only 1 assist.

Nationally, I think the thinking is Steph Curry is the MVP to the this point. But I really don't feel you can give it to him over Harden. I think there are too many nights when Klay Thompson either flat out outplays Curry or proves to be more important.

Memphis dumped Dallas by 19 and Mike Conley didn't even play.

Which also shows the foolishness in pouring the majority of your resources into a position that is overabundant.

Had no idea Lawson was averaging 10 assists. That's surprising.

Was about to bet on Jrue, totally forgot Lawson.

I know. But thinking about next year and potentially having 37 million tied up in PGs playing SG or SG playing PG is scary.

It would be much more palatable if the team was playing like last season. The winning % and the spot in the standings are close, but the quality of the game is not.

LOL, check this out. J.R. Smith admits that part of his crappy play on the Knicks was due to going out partying late before games. Shocker of the year. I called this one, that he'd magically play better in Cleveland because he wouldn't be able to go out as much.

I guess there are some players who are not focused enough to play in NYC. For all the heat Melo has to take, he finds a way to deliver every year.
