Re: Pole: More important

Does that show his winscore for the finals? I'm not saying he was garbage.. but they were called the Big 3.. or Boston Three Party for a reason that year.

No, this is just for the regular season.

Does not matter what they were called - Rondo was a pretty decent player even that year.

Re: Pole: More important

I thought he was referring to KG, Pierce, and Ray Ray

Oops, my bad, I thought he said three titles and was thinking back in the 80s.

Re: Pole: More important

WESTWEGO, La. – Chris Paul(notes) was spent. His knee ached. His legs felt heavy. He had nothing left to give his New Orleans Hornets. The Denver Nuggets had used their bigger guards to batter Paul throughout the teams’ first-round playoff series, and it showed. In the Hornets’ final two losses – one by a humiliating 58 points – Paul averaged just eight points.


Beaten and bruised, the Hornets exited the playoffs knowing what they needed to do. They had to get Paul some help.


Chris Paul averaged more than six points less in the playoffs than the regular season.
As the Hornets try to reestablish themselves as a legitimate contender in the Western Conference this season, they do so with a new mantra: The less we demand of Paul now, the more we’ll get from him later.

Hornets coach Byron Scott is determined to reduce Paul’s workload, hoping to keep his All-Star point guard fresher for the playoffs. The offseason additions of two speedy newcomers – Bobby Brown(notes) and rookie Darren Collison(notes) – could go a long way in helping him do so. “No disrespect to the backups that done it before,” Scott said, “but now we have two guys who are the type of players that I’ve needed.”

I think we should take the same approach with Roy.

Doubt it. Only the Magic baby, only the Magic.

Here is a picture of a Pole making sweet sweet love to a hoop.

I agree we should rest Roy as much as possible, but I bet they are worried about getting better players as starters so he doesn't have to carry the whole load when he's on the court.

Deep benches get you through injury and rest. That gets you to the playoffs then you go with the best and hope for no injuries.

Aldridge and Rudy for Paul. It makes so much sense for all parties involved.

Make it so, Pritchard.
