I've Been Proud Of Sergio

[Fez Hammersticks]

I cringe every time he shoots.. Literally cringe.

He still tries to do too much. There are many times when he drives into the paint where he can just drop it off the to big man but instead takes his own fading jumper or layup which usually bricks.

He also seems to deny Brandon when they are playing at the same time. I hate the fact that he's a ball dominating guard, and I hate the fact that he's not good enough to dominate the ball. Last night, regardless of his stat line, he did not play as well as people think.

probably a top 20 backup PG in the NBA

Oh please, like that's an accomplishment.

I think he's been asked to take those shots. All premiere PG's in this league have the ability to score. Paul, Deron, Nash, even Kidd to an extent could score at will. I remember earlier in the season and even last season, all Sergio did was pass. It made our offense predictable when he was in because they knew they didn't have to guard him closely. By taking more shots, Sergio keeps opposing defenses honest. Just like LeBron has to chuck up a few threes sometimes. It's not his specialty, but he has to in order to make defenses pay for leaving him open or playing him loosely.

Well he can't make those shots. It's quite obvious.

You can't keep a defense honest if you're missing layups and close jumpers, which is what Sergio does.

There is no such thing as over-dribbling if you are a PG.

Once a PG stops dribbling, he's dead in the water.

A PG will dribble in place to try and draw a double team or set up a P&R, or dribble around the perimeter to make the defense break up and follow him.

If your PG isn't dribbling, he probably doesn't know WTF he's doing.

Of course a PG can over dribble. He can dribble away the clock and be forced to take a bad shot or pass to someone with no time on the clock so they have to take a bad shot. I wouldn't say Sergio is quite that bad, but at times it would seem he'd be better serve passing and reseting to get the ball back and get a better pass/shot or allow another player to get the assist.

No one said he should stop dribbling and just stand there with the ball.

Sergio is like the girl that took my virginity... I should have used a condom.

Pretty much sums is up right here.

It wasn''t really meant as a compliment.
