How is that funny? Those are hard stats that Nick posted and I didn't change one thing about them.
Obviously he's not gonna get Iverson minutes, but with the subtraction of Kyrie I think those numbers would be pretty close except rebounds.
Yall dream of JB shooting that ft %, and in what world is 35% 3pt shooting not acceptable?
And do yall honestly think anyone can sustain shooting 3's at 43% clip? (Tatum)
Yall demand perfection from everyone while happy to watch Kyrie bust it all up and do what he wants, no matter the outcome or how bad it is.
You guys are an enigma or something
I'm beginning to think yall are trolls from another team wanting us to keep our cancer.
Correction: Kyrie AND Hayward
Calling other posters trolls because the do not agree with you is against the rules. Do not do it again.
You have been warned.
Yeah but I said "beginning to think" I didn't call him that.
Do I really bother yall that much? I mean, let me know right now
I have no problem with you at all.
I'm just simply saying the same issues that you claim Irving have, can also apply to Rozier...
Criticize Irving all you want, but we are not better with Rozier leading the point. That is simply false, and unless you provide actual statistics to back up your claim, it is hard for me to believe or find you credible.
USG % went down, his assist to turnover ratio is the best in his career, and he averaged career high in APG. He did iso occasionally, but did Tatum, and Rozier not do that also? A lot of hatred towards Irving, I simply don't get it. He had his best career season.
I do not hate Kyrie, man. I see he can get by anyone whenever he wants and get his shot whenever or wherever, handle off the chain and is even a pretty elite passer.
It just doesn't translate for whatever reason in his mind, and how many more years are you gonna wait with 2 already gone and him nearing 28 when he's not gonna get any better?
Now...does the ball swing better to other players when Terry is the point? Be truthful to yourself.
Can he not keep players in front of him better? Especially as a point and not a wing?
Does he not rebound well for a point his size?
Does he not shoot the 3 at 35%?
Does Kyrie score much better? YES
Were they competitive with it against a contending team? NO
Rebounding? Sure, I'll give you that.
Shoot the 3 at 35%? Umm... So he shot the ball at league average? How is that impressive? Irving shot 40%
Rozier is a great defender, I'll also agree with that; when he's engaged. When he isn't, he sucks. And before you tell me why that is the reason he should be starting. BEING a MALCONTENT because you aren't starting or getting heavy minutes IS NOT professional. It shows clear signs of immaturity, and lack of leadership. The same qualities you claim Irving also lacks. So why does Rozier get a pass on this?
Speaking of passing.. Does the ball swing better? I'm not going to answer that question. The simple eye test should explain how weak his court vision is.
All in all, I've never hated Rozier until he threw his team under the bus. I feel his pain, because he thinks he should be starting. That being said, you're not starting over an All-Star PG that averages twice as PPG, and doubles the same amount assists. If you care and want to be considered a team player, think about improvements in your game. That's what frustrates me about Rozier. He made it all about him, and said the team sucked basically. He didn't say that he didn't do a good job, and could improve his game in the future.
It's pretty telling that in the past 3 years before Irving came, we have had enormous success in the regular season. Rozier has a career -24 plus minus. Irving is +331. Sure plus/minus is a flawed stat, but if Rozier swung and moved the ball more, I would imagine he wouldn't be so dreadful in +/-. That alone should tell you the scope of Rozier's development.
I always felt like Rozier could've been Avery Bradley protege. That ship has long sailed. Rozier was content in taking 3's like 4-6 seconds into the shot clock, instead of using his physical gifts/and tools to create offense.
