Even more with Asia server already being up.

Even if (big if) Gasol and Bynum play up, the Lakers bench is terrible. They squander every lead that is given to them.
I'm going to wait and see it with my own naked eyes on my own monitor----it will be much sweeter
Time to pull out our secret weapon....
This is who I had in mind

We are 50/50 at best against BOS. There is no logical reason at all that says heat should be favorites without Bosh. The best anybody can come up with is "bu bu but Two MVP candidates in there prime".

Rondo has a 35.5% eFG on jumpshots, Wade is 41.6%.
Literally the only guard i can find with a worse jumpshot is John Wall.
I was comparing him to LeBron. Again, you aren't going to find me arguing he is superior. Just in some statistical areas, he is better or comprable.

All aboard! The Love train!
Did you check Wes Johnson?
Lakers were favored in 2008 just cos Boston had such a hard time getting there
Spurs were favored in the 2008 WCF IIRC though
I don't think you understand how this works.
Raymond Felton?

Explain to me then.
I didn't bring up Lebron because he is at 47.9% I don't know where you are getting your numbers but in no way is Rondo statistically a better shooter than Lebron.. or even close. I won't bring up Rondo's crunch time shooting either.
Wes Johnson is 43.9 %
Felton is 42.2%
yes, that's how bad Rondo is at shooting.
I would, but your following response would be "it's just too nice outside."
You're looking at overall, I'm looking at the splits. Basketball-reference.

It is crazy. I thought he would be done a year or two after the trade. Thank modern medicine/nutrition

Ok so you have nothing. Thats all you had to say bud.
Some people want to bring him to Charlotte to back up Kemba.
I can't even wrap my mind around it.
It's true.
16ft to 3pt
Lebron: 38.5FG% (335)
Rondo: 40.4FG% (141)
Wade: 35FG% (183)
3pt+
Lebron: 54.3eFG% (163)
Rondo: 39.1eFG% (46)
Wade: 39.2eFG% (65)
FGA in parentheses.

Lebron is a fucking beast.
Eh, I usually separate the two. Jump shot is usually anything within. Rondo certainly goes down closer to the basket, but his height comparison would restrict him.
Rondo isn't really a liability on three pointers. Considering how much he handles the ball in this offense, he is quite conservative.
10 to 16 foot jumpshot is a statistical anomaly for Rondo because he takes so few of them (56 total). If he's anywhere near the freethrow line, he's either passing or taking it to the rim.

I think you misspelled Dickster Petman.
Effective Field Goal Percentage is different from a regular Field Goal Percentage.
Ray Allen's eFG% from three is 67.2% in comparison. 54% puts Lebron right around the league average, I think.

Spurs/Celtics finals? Stern might have to be put on suicide watch.
from 3 to 9 he is even worse, at 30%.
At 3 feet and out, thats a 340 shot sample of him being a plain terrible shooter.

I know that, but how many take those amount of attempts?

Losing Bosh will be big for the Boston series. The Heat bigs will be Anthony, Haslem, and Turiaf. Even Jordan didn't have a frontline this bad.
...why?
Where ever Felton goes he's going to want to be the starter.
Sure, but I think it's overstated.
Point-guards with rings:
Kidd, Rondo
Point-guards without rings:
Nash, Stockton, Porter
Just saying.

Funniest thing I've heard all day.
Because people want to see the Heat in the Finals.
I don't think their opponent matters much. Spurs, OKC or Lakers would be a compelling matchup.

Heard rumors of Knicks wanting him back to help Lin. What says Knick nation?

KG was gonna rape us either way. The only thing now is that we are gonna have additional mis-matches.
Rondo is 6'1. LeBron is 6'8 (a massive one for that height)
The only thing Rondo truly has to be embarrassed about is his free throw shooting.
Why? I think it would be an entertaining series between two punch drunk vets duking it out one last time.
He only shot 149. That's really not high at all. Its actually LBJ's lowest since being in the league.
But yeah... 37%. eFG% is different

Kendrick Perkins also has a ring, therefore the ability for a center to catch is overrated.
Sure, but I don't think any of the remaining teams are a ratings nightmare scenario.
OKC and Indiana, possibly.
Lebron has never been top-10 in 3pt attempts.
I reckon 149 attempts doesn't even put him in the top 20.
Antoine Walker > LeBron!

Relio's post says 163.
He won't be the guy he was in NY under pringles. The stat analysis pre/post pringles for PGs is pretty clear about that.
Frank put a post looking at the numbers of the past few PGs that went through Mike's system in the loser bros thread.
He'd be a back up to Lin. Wouldn't be the worst move but his effectiveness would be mitigated by Woodson's iso heavy offense.
Yeah, Antoine was as good if not a better three-point shooter.
That number must include the playoffs.
