Well, I did read that, you yourself said it's a summary. Around all your word salad, you're equating assist numbers to "playing as a team."

I guess the Duncan Spurs didn't play as a team.

There's such a thing as a player outmatching his defender that the primary strategy is to milk that mismatch. Now once the other team compensates, then you progress on to your other schemes. But if the team can't solve that primary strategy, then don't fix what ain't broken.

Kindly read your comments again so I don't have to insert myself and then you have to do verbal gymnastics. I see you keep editing all your replies to me, I hope you're not feeling too much pressure, I'm just genuinely curious about your mindset.

Don't worry about me. You worry too much. Even my editing is due to auto correct and you concentrate too much on things that is not essential.

The Duncan take I agree. Same thing I say about when teams use the same strategy with JF or Durant with GSW but alot here thinks it's a bad strategy because the ball didn't move. As you stated, it sometimes the most efficient way of scoring and double teaming these players will lead to open shot for other teammates from the 3pts. Which is more points per possession.

Which still make my statement of both KT and SMC relied on one on one play and and Silent Killer statement that only SMC was doing it for me not accurate

Tournament like this shows how unskilled our local players are. Except for Junmar & Perez, everyone is a dud. The San Mig game made me realize how good Junamr was during their Championship era. Pogoy is 3x better than lassiter, prime ross is the equivalent of current rosales/enciso, tautuaa/brondial are b*ms, and cruz is a waste of a roster spot!

See what happened there...I actually gave you a better case for your argument than your "assist numbers = playing as a team" (which is why I inserted myself because that is inaccurate and now you also agree).

Big caveat though...W's are the ultimate stat when it comes to assessing strategies.

If there is any single vanilla stat that you can cherrypick and sort of gauge a team's quality, that would be rebounds for me. It can signify advantages in size, athleticism, physicality and effort which usually leads to W's. Hence the saying, "rebounds win games, defense wins championships."

Again, it was not just about assists. For full context, please read the whole conversation, especially the one in which I disagreed with Silent Killer.

The Macau Black Bears have signed Malaysian Forward Chun-Hong Ting and Palestinian Shooting Guard Jamal Mayali.

[zairex]

Switching defense working for bolts second half

[hmbopbaduwap]

Damn! Meralco's comeback fell short.

[Silent Killer]

77-74 win for ryukyu

[Joe Yabuki]

Allien Maliksi is integral to Meralco, if hes not there they need another scorer

[Sikatrix]

Who is replacing Durham now that he is retired?

[Joe Yabuki]

Who is replacing Durham now that he is retired?

Probably their import on the next conference

How many asian imports allowed? Or maybe one of them have Chinese roots (maybe the Malaysian guy)

SMB down so big against Tayoan. No excuses, SMB playing like worst than an La Salle

Poor defense?

[zairex]

Poor defense?

And when down big, Jericho try to punch Brown
. To be fair the import if Tayoan swung his elbows.
