Completely untrue- Did you watch that series last year? He dominated throughout and was (Along with Lillard) the reason he and his 'inefficient' ways beat the Rockets with all their efficiency and metrics.
you are so so wrong.
He started off hot then was terrible. Like Melo, his team lives and dies with his bad shot selection.
And he has been horrible in the post season in his career.
And like Melo there is no one helping him tonight but he gets the blame for trying to put the team on his back..

Exactly because when you "put your team on your back" and take bad shot after bad shot you (and your team by extension) are taking bad/lower percentage shots. Bad/Lower percentage shots, by virtue of being lower percentage go in less often. Heaving up bad shot after bad shot isn't a great strategy. Of course when a guy is in a zone and scoring 40+ points you move out of the way but how often does that happen? Not often enough where a player should try to do it every game. Otherwise they would.

bingo again.
I know how I feel (and play) when I have dump teammates who are just in love with their stupid shots.

Right and his next three teammates went 13-44(29.5%)..He was 7-15 at one point before missing the next 5 shots..So u are shooting close to 50% and the rest of your team shooting 30% and down 10+, what's a fella to do, worry about taking good shots and making others better?
Watching Duncan make me want to tell Okafor to get in the dang pool transform your body and endurance

Yeah, but you gotta remember that Duncan wasn't always like. He stole a page from the Mailman, who changed his body to meet the challenged of each phase in his career. He might've also had some help from HGH lol

Maybe but Duncan was a swimmer way before He started ballin. Yes, he has slimmed down as he has gotten older but I always thought the mailman was huge regardless of age. Lol. Different sport but Shannon Sharpe 2as a vet who tried to lose 2-5 lbs each summer as he got older.
Old school ball is lovely..
off to bed now after 3 quarters. But DVRing the last 1/4. Man this is nice to watch. Two great sides really going for it.
Danny Green's ability to defend 1-3 is seriously underrated. I had/have him ranked ahead of Matthews but he is still behind Middleton for the reason he is ahead of Matthews, youth and size.

I love watching players shoot free throws, it's the reason I started watching basketball.
+1,000,000 I hate it when my team has a player who is an MVP candidate that carries his otherwise lackluster team to 50 wins and according to all statistics and measures is one of the top players in the league. Man, that blows.
a) The Rockets aren't my team
b) statistical measures don't excite me
I just don't enjoy watching him play
This Celtics team is a lot of fun to watch.
Jae Crowder is playing great.
Cleveland is playing one on one, I'm better than you basketball..They won't win a ring that way..
Evan Turner has had a huge game tonight.
Never thought I would say that I like a Celtic team but they are easy to root for.
The Bulls are so much better with a healthy Rose.
Bucks only down 2. Huge shot by Middleton.
