I would argue with you, but I absolutely refuse because it is pointless, and it will derail the thread.

I predicted 48 wins at the season's start and thought we'd squeak into the playoffs. I would still be very happy if both those things happened. I would be a bit bummed if we did not make the playoffs.

I predicted 47-49 and an 8th seed. I think they will exceed my expactations and get 51-55 wins.

Thanks for the backup, BNM. For some reason when I google "steve blake stats" the nba.com one comes up first, instead of the espn.com page for sergio, outlaw, and almost everyone else. Mixed up EFF and PER. Mea culpa.
Taking that part of the quote out, and saying "average league starter" instead of "below average starter", would you still agree with the point I was trying to make? That if we're trying to "evaluate"/"see what we have"/"let cake bake", should Blake be getting 30mpg?
I understand if someone says we're trying to "win the most games possible", and that "Blake's our steadiest PG". I get that. But that's not what KP/Nate are really saying. They say (alternately), that they're trying to "let cake bake", "run and keep defenses on their heels", "play good defense". Of those 3, none of those 3 (*subjective alert!) are Blake's strengths. He's pretty good in the half-court offense when he's not making mistakes and hitting the 3 at a ~42% clip. While he's not as bad as Jack at running the break, he's not getting us a lot of easy baskets. He's not really playing "good defense" (though to be fair, not many guards are on our team). He's not going to be starting in 2011.
I like Steve as a person, but I don't see him being a solution to our stated goals for the team.
