I figured you would say that. Thing is he was still averaging good numbers with a lot of talent around him in Sac and philly. He hasnt been a num 1 in a while and I wouldnt consider him a number 2 either when he was in philly.
philly had good talent? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif please tell me who was #2 in philly? and who was #1 in sacremento?
He was #1 in sacramento, when he went to philly, you had Allen Iverson and then Andre Igwodala was coming into his own. Then this year Andre was for sure the number 2 guy and then Iverson got traded and now he is the man in philly. I think he will be an all star for many years to come.
Duh, he has all those other stars in Detriot, remember.
You are completley nutz if you dont think Andre will not be a star in this league. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif
so the moral of the story is the pistons are 10-2 with webber. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif it's not all about webber's stats, he makes other players better especially rasheed. no more can teams double rasheed down low cause webber can knock down open jumpers.
philly's talent does not compare to detroit's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif if it did, then philly would be near the top of the east along with detroit
Didnt realize I was comparing teams?
imo i think this pistons team is better then last year. as a team they are rebounding better, and holding opposing teams to a lower fg% without ben wallace. if rasheed would work more in the low post that would really help the pistons. all 5 of the pistons starters can knock down jumpers, and 4 of them have 3 point range so you cannot double rasheed down low, and with rasheed's shooting ability and long arms, he can get his shot off at will on the low block. also the bench is better then years past.
What you said in the NBA thread.
read the bolded terms. i said i'd give them more time and obviously they have improved to a championship calibur team now with webber. Rasheed is still one of the leagues all-time underachievers. i watched him against toronto and he was great. when he was calling for the ball down low he simply abused chris bosh and rasheed was great defensivly.
